How did the eastern conference get so weak?

[ajnapoleon]

Did all the bad Gm's just migrate over there?



It makes no sense how this happened



The Bulls was supposed to go to the finals IDK how many years


Pacers had a good team now its



Hawks was a good team last year but most of the hawks fans was blaming a little aussie and shabo (how ever you spell his name) was missing because he wanna get bolic with the NYPD



The Heat



How did this happen I'm not trying to



Im trying to figure it out the east been sort of since maybe 2000

Bad drafting, team hopping, and injuries

Bad drafting for 15 years?

The east has ALWAYS been a weak conference, even during the MJ era. Teams with losing records were making it to the east playoffs even back then too. Outside of the Bulls, Knicks, Pacers, and heat the east was weak

Pistons got 2 in the "mj era" and 1 more after that

Thats more than what the knicks and pacers got

It just makes no sense how can this happen its like no one knows how to draft or get talent ....you mean to tell me know one else besides the spurs seen khwai or parker or manu?

no one else seen westbrook or harden or serge ( I say them because the number one picks was eastern conference teams when they got picked)

the list goes on and on

Nah that don't count in the jordan era because by the time MJ got a team and a great coach (Even though some on the coli still think one man should do it all) the pistons was old.

I'm talkin more recently and the west for whatever reason usually has teams with solid foundations and are always able to keep the core parts of their team and add complimentary pieces

Its just crazy on what teams could have done if it was not for the gm's picking wrong


those years the knicks missed on amare ron artest brandon jennings nene LMA etc..


cavs had a very young lebron still with maybe 4 years on a contract and the let boozer walk out, picked luke jackson they could have had josh smith and i think amare also


nets traded for deron williams they could have had dame lillard its like they had no idea what they was doing
