The Cleveland Signing of Lebron and its impact on the East breh...
There is no such thing now as waiting for next year's offseason. Every Eastern GM is looking at the field as wide open w/ no clear favorite(Unless Kev Love is traded to Cleveland).
What that means is an arms race of acquiring assets to compete in the coming year's playoffs.Now, things will start to slow down again if Melo does sign w/ Chicago. That would make them a clear favorite and any team who would be attempting to jump into the race for "being a contender" would dramatically slow down.
However, if Melo resigns w/ NY, that arms race would intensify ever greater considering there would be the most parity in the East in a long time. Player to watch out for....
Lance Stephenson. He can turn one of the remaining teams into a true competitor in the East.
Brehs... this offseason has only begun.
