I rather take make changes by trying to sign Lebron James this summer starting from: July1-July16 to give me an accurate answer. If he say no then so be it. I would then go after Chris Bosh, David Lee, Rudy Gay and others right way by not wasting to much time on Lebron James.

Even though the guy pissed me off with all his taunting and showboating against our Bulls..I’m hopin for James, not because of just what he’ll bring to our team but what him and Rose could do together. In my eyes with James Rose is still the main guy. But to say this offseason would be a bust if we don’t get certain guys..it’s oh well, if these FA’s wanna win then Chicago is their best choice. Period.

I agree, and I remember some d-bag on ESPN calling it the ‘Leastern Conference.’ I think most ‘stars’ the past 5-10 years want to play somewhere warm – there are few options for a warm climate in the East (Miami, Orlando, and Atlanta?), and most have an Allstar. The recent Detroit team was great for a long time, but records have shown a stronger Western Conference recently. Seems the West has ‘better’ and more bigs.

I never liked when people say the East is “weak” because the term “weak” is up for interruptation. The East in the last decade has not been “deep”, there isn’t much depth. But the East has always been top heavy. From 1-8 the West would be stronger overral but the east always had a couple of power house championship favorite teams at the very top. In the last 6 years the East actually has half of the championships. The Pistons, Heat and Celtics (and if KG didn’t get injured the C’s probably would have won last year making the total 4 in the last 6 years). In the East you have the Cavs, Magic, and Celtics. The East is top heavy while the west has more depth. So it’s how you want to define the word “weak”
