    It's only a two year deal. I thought Wade was going to get four years for sure.

    They will make the playoffs. If everyone is healthy no reason they shouldn't get a top 6 seed in the East.

    I really have no clue. I watched Lebron leave Cleveland and they won like what? 15 games or something?

    I watched the Knicks last year lose a few players and the whole thing fell apart. The Heat might have become so reliant in Lebron that they might just be a mess next season, I could be wrong. Im not sure.

    I think the peak of Miamis potential might be anywhere between the #5-8 seed. Assuming the Bulls are healthy, I would have to pencil in these following teams in the playoffs

    #1 Bulls
    #2 Cavaliers
    #3 Pacers
    #4 Wizards
    #5 Raptors

    Those 5 teams should be in the playoffs

    That leaves 3 spots for teams like the Nets, Bobcats, Hawks, Knicks,

    Mike Miller signs to cleveland 2 yr deal wow. They are making moves they might as well just make the trade for Love now and they are championship bound. However, Chicago with a healthy D.Rose may be able to beat them in the ECF bc Chicago's defense will overwhelm them.

    Mike Miller to Cleveland on a 2 year deal.

    Always hated that prick when he was on the Heat. Guy makes three's like it's second nature. Had to hate him because of the team he was on. Awesome signing for Cleveland.

    Players moving to play with LeBron.

    Doubt it.

    They needed a shooter from behind the arc, and he's one of the best to do it. Great signing for Lebron's Cavaliers :)

    LeBron posted on his instagram about the Mike Miller signing. He's "excited to be reunited with his brother".

    You preached all season about how the wizards would beat the pacers. Yet a year later you have them ranked behind the pacers after the wizards made a great signing in Pierce and the "the best player in the league" , john wall has another year under his belt. Oh and let's not forget Stephenson is probably gone... I don't get how you think they could be worse this uPcoming year..

    Oops I edited it, I meant to say those teams will be there in no particular order. I havent thought much of how they will rank in the standings.

    I think the Wizards might explode onto the scene next season, like how we saw with the Blazers last season. I could see the Wizards ending up in the ECF. I think they are following a somewhat similar path as OKC was when they transitioned from losers, to first round exit, to WCF, to NBA finals.

    Can the Wizards win the East next year? Sure why not. Pacers might lose Stephenson, the Bulls are such a mystery because of Rose, the Cavs should be good, but it doesnt mean the Wizards cant beat em.

    Well since John Wall is the best player in the league, the Wizards should easily make the ECF

    Randy Witmann is one of the worst coaches in the league. The Wizards underachieved hieved last year, they should have won fifty games in the East. They ran into a Chicago team that Joakiam Noah to put the ball on the floor. When a big has to put the ball on the floor, you better win that series.Thibbs was running the Loop with Mike D, which is ridiculous considering how slow he is,. And they also put on a pathetic performance vs Indiana. The Atlanta Hawks took the Pacers to Seven games, the Wizard received a beatdown in each of their losses. To make the ECF Washington will have to beat Chicago(if rose is healthy), Indiana, and Cleveland , I don't think they can beat any of them in a seven game series. Portland didn't make the playoffs in 2013, because their bench was god awful. They adressed this issue by adding williams, and were able to become a playoff team.Wizards may have gotten worse this offseason, but that's fine since they have their eyes on 2016. Portland was one move away from taking off, while Washington is a series of moves away from becoming legitimate contenders in the east IMO.
