While the Indiana Pacers returned back to the pack a bit, with the loss of Lance Stephenson, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls definitely made the necessary moves to eclipse what the Pacers are going to be able to salvage from last season’s success.

In a few words, the Central Division will be much improved and easily the best division in the conference.
