NBA Free Agency has (pretty much) come and gone — even though nothing is entirely set in stone, as we saw yesterday with DeAndre Jordan — and the NBA has again seen a bit of a shakeup. Even in the Eastern Conference.
A few of the bigger moves that went down involved the Milwaukee Bucks, one of the NBA’s young up and coming teams, snagging Greg Monroe away from the Detroit Pistons, the Cleveland Cavaliers securing all of their own, with the exception of J.R. Smith (so far), and the Miami Heat bringing Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic back, regardless of the rumors that were flying around in the weeks leading up to free agency.
The Eastern Conference (health permitting) should be much stronger this season, compared to last year’s abomination.
