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.

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
