2014 NBA Offseason

The offseason has been very exciting to say the least. LeBron James going back to Cleveland, Pau Gasol to Chicago. Or how about Lance Stephenson to the Hornets.
Of course it's been very exciting for Detroit fans, signing D.J Augustin, Caron Butler, Jodie Meeks, Aaron Gray, and Cartier Martin so far.
Post what you think about it, and who will be a contender next season that wasn't last year?

I think the east is wide open tbh. Cavs, Bulls, and Wizards are early favorites to win the east. The Pacers have taken a step back with the loss of Lance. The Nets have lost Pierce to the Wizards. It is gonna be an interesting regular season.

The Spurs should win the west, but I am not certain they will repeat. The Spurs have been fortunate to stay healthy the last few years. Pop will play the bench a ton of minutes to keep the starters fresh for the playoffs. The Warriors have everybody returning as well. I predict Spurs and Warriors will meet in the WCF.
