I think Cleveland and Chicago (if healthy) are the two favorites.  Then Charlotte, Indiana, Miami, Washington, and Toronto in some order.  But you never know, if something happens and Cleveland doesn't gel or Chicago stays injured, I think the Hornets have a great shot for a deep playoff run.

I respect LeBron but is he really enough to take the 10th ranked team in the east to the ECF? I think Chicago and Charlotte as the top teams and the rest is way unpredictable at this point.

Considering he just torpedoed the best team by leaving and they added the #1 overall pick, I'd say they are really close to being tops.

I think we solidly start the season as contenders to make the playoffs. Which hasn't happened in a long, long time. Feels pretty great.

Oh I agree they will be 5-7th next year, maybe 4th but I don't seem them being able to break top 3 this season.

The season after they'll be top 3 easy but this coming up season I just don't see it. Maybe if they had known he was coming and kind of built a team ready for him to take control of but that's not what happened.

Cleveland is not that good. Y'all are overestimating LeBron. He's the best player in the world but he isn't god. Cleveland will struggle to lock up a top 4 seed next year. They are way too young & only have one star. Irving is overrated, and injury prone.

Depending on Rose's health & the Boozer situation, Charlotte could become the favorites. Especially if Walker/Stephenson Jefferson gel together.

How is Irving overrated? Facts please.

I believe if we can get Boozer we could be the top team in the East. If Vonleh or Zeller can put it up good numbers then we will be very good. MKG is going to improve and that will really help. I think right now the Bulls are the number one team as long as Rose is healthy. If Boozer signs with Miami then they could be a top team as well. I think Indiana could be a top team if they trade for Lance's replacement.

If Anthony Bennett can play as well as he has in the summer league then I see Cleveland being a top 3 team in the east.

Right now I'm trying not to be a homer but I really think the Hornets are going to be great.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
