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.

      We all remember 2023, when the Teppers were making the Pro Day rounds.  Then last year, the owner of this restaurant, blocks from Bank of America stadium, sent a message that was received by the Panthers' owner. 😡😠🤬 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/panthers-owner-david-tepper-makes-news-once-again-on-day-1-of-nfl-draft Why would an owner of a restaurant put up a sign of this nature?  Flashback to the Tepper Pro Day tour.  Brace yourselves: THE PRO DAY CIRCUIT,  2023  "THE HORROR." That is Nicole Tepper, all up in the prospect evaluation process with some motherly love and awkward post-hug expressions.  I was like, "What is she doing there?" Here is the lovely owner of the Panthers on the front row among scouts and our head coach at Ohio State's pro day in 2023. MODERN DAY:  APRIL 2025 So, have David and Nicole realized that ownership in the NFL does not make you an evaluator of talent?   Will their egos allow them to let others do their jobs?  Or should we brace ourselves to see their thrones moved to the war room on April 24, preparing for their draft day interventions?  Have they been on the pro day circuit?  Have we tarnished his desktop brass balls?  Did the bartender hurt his feelings?  Did he get the message?  Just because we don't see them, it does not mean they are not there--lurking in the shadows--hugging people and talking to coaches.  Texting stuff. "Dan, take who you want, but that Offensive Guard from Guilford is my third cousin twice removed."   We need to be diligent.  Stay focused.  Keep them away from the brain trust.  Seriously, did they get the message?  What have you heard?  Are we safe? Recently, GM Dan Morgan was asked if the Teppers were involved in the private workouts at BOA.  Morgan refused to answer, but he did stare at the reporter for 43 seconds.  This photo shows Morgan being asked about the Teppers' involvement during a recent presser: According to inside sources, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, made famous by Morgan during his playing days, was recently seen being delivered to Morgan's office shortly after meeting with the Teppers, a meeting that included a power point featuring the Teppers' top 50 prospect list.  Please post any Tepper-related news here.  Hoping there is not any.

      TJ Watt is stirring up social media with throwin up a ✌️. Sounds like he either wants out or knows he is out.  So. question is, if the Steelers come calling and offer 21 and TJ Watt for 8, are you biting?
