Eastern Conference
The NBA’s Eastern Conference also had a great offseason and 2018 summer. I believe the 2018 NBA offseason will be a benchmark to where the Eastern Conference becomes the dominate conference of the two for the 2020’s.
I strongly believe that in the West the powerhouses will battle each other down where as in the East the young budding teams will develop and flourish in the coming years. With LeBron leaving Cleveland for the bright lights of Hollywood, there will be a void and a battle for the top player in the East.
We will see the Top 5 of the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers, as well as Toronto Raptors compete for the now vacant throne.
As well as the teams will young talent trying to make a name for themselves like the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic and the Brooklyn Nets. The East also snagged two of the more charismatic budding stars in Orlando Magic rookie Mo Bamba as well as Atlanta Hawks rookie Trae Young.
The East is laced with some of the NBA’s brightest young players with exciting nicknames and brands like Milwaukees Giannis “ The Greek Freak” Antetokounmpo, Philadelphia 76ers Joel “ Trust The Process” Embiid, New York Knicks Kristaps “ The Unicorn” Porzingis, Boston Celtics Kyrie “ Uncle Drew” Irving, Kawhi “The Claw” Leonard. I believe the Eastern Conference is heading toward their own golden era.
