Eastern Conference Power Rankings, Part 1: Is the East Really This Deep?

LeBron James has made his move, and the Eastern Conference has officially become a gauntlet. In Part 1 of our Eastern Conference Power Rankings, Brad and Ryan break down the bottom half of the conference after one of the wildest offseasons in recent memory. Which teams took the biggest leap? Who’s being overrated? And has the East quietly become the NBA’s deepest conference? The guys debate the league’s biggest offseason moves—including LeBron joining Philadelphia—and reveal where the conference starts to separate into contenders, playoff teams, and rebuilding franchises.
