During the offseason this summer, some changes have taken place in the league. For example, LeBron James traveled westward to join the Los Angeles Lakers, Cowie Leonard and Demar demar derozan changed their owners, and Golden State Warriors signed Demarce Cousins. As far as the overall strength distribution of the league is concerned, the west is still far stronger than the east, so it is more likely that the eastern teams will have dark horses, especially some young teams.

Indiana Pacers was one of the most amazing teams last season. I thought that after losing paul george, the Pacers would completely enter the reconstruction stage. However, they entered the playoffs as the fifth in the East, almost eliminating the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James! Although it is a pity to lose in the deciding game, it can be seen that with the passage of time, when the Pacers have enough experience and further tacit understanding, they will become one of the strong teams in the East, and signing Doug mcdermott and Terry Evans this summer is also a very good operation.

The operation of Chicago Bulls this summer has aroused many people's doubts. First, it matched the four-year contract of $78 million offered by Sacramento Kings to Lavin, and then signed jabari parker with a two-year contract of $40 million.

But in the long run, the bull is still worth looking forward to. They are a team with a future. Once Parker and Lavin can stay healthy, together with young cores such as Laurie Markham, Wendell Carter and kris dunn, the future of the Bulls is worth looking forward to. Mark Kanin, in particular, has shown his star qualities. Given that in the less competitive east, bulls may create some surprises.
