Who wins the East next year?

I loathe them with a divine-like wrath, but its hard to pick against Miami, especially if they sign a player or two that can contribute and Mario Chalmers learns how to play PG.

Gonna go with the sleeping giants in Cleveland. The losses were just a fluke, Varejao is worth at least 40 wins.

Im gonna go with the Knicks IF they sign CP, I know Billups is a vet, but CP is on a whole other level....

You're shocked that I would pick the best team in the East from this year to be the best team next year?

Opening day rosters are really needed to make a legit prediction but if nothing drastic changes they will be the favorites.

I think Billups is a better defender then most give him credit for, and Shumpert should take about 10 points off the scoreboard for the other team.....

If they do get CP3 there's a good chance they won't have Shumpert anymore

True, has anything been mentioned on who NYK will give up, I'm thinking they'll trade either Douglas or Billups and Shumpert

I haven't seen much, but that's what I would think as well; maybe both, since it seems like you'd need Billups to make salaries match but the Hornets would have more interest in Douglas.

I saw someone saying they may keep one of Douglas and Shumpert because they're "similar," but I don't see how since Douglas is a shooter and Shumpert really isn't.

Technically the bulls were the best this year.

The Knicks main problem is one of the positions which it's absolutely essential to have a good defender is occupied by a key player who doesn't play D.

They might be able to rely on the bottom 2/3 of the east sucking azz like usual, ride that to maybe a three seed at best and potentially a deep playoff run, but 0.01% chance they make the finals.

The Bulls were a more cohesive unit. The Heat spent much of the year trying to figure out what way was up. Unless Chicago does something to improve drastically, the Heat will cruise.

Really? I think adding the NBA's leader in steals makes you better. Paul makes you so much more efficient offensively you don't really need him to play defense. The Knicks would have a high scoring team that can actually outscore the opposition.
