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.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
