Hasn't this been a great off-season so far? Look at all the big moves: Shaq to the Cavs, Artest to the Lakers, Richard Jerrson to the Spurs, Vince Carter to the Magic. We are still waiting to see where key players like Rasheed Wallace, Jayson Kidd, Allen Iverson, Hedo Turkoglu and Andre Miller end up.

Look at the top teams from last year in the East and West: Orlando could be better if Carter still has anything left, plus if Jameer Nelson stays healthy all year, the Cavs got Shaq and they may try to get another FA, Boston will be back if Garnett is healthy, and they are looking to add a FA. How great will the playoffs be with those three battling?

In the West the Lakers add Artest, and if Bynum stays healthy and gets back to how he was playing before he got injured they could be better, Denver got playoff tested and will be back, and the Spurs added Jefferson and hopefully Ginobli will be back healthy. And Portland is young and talented, if they add Turkaglo and Oden gets healthy will they break into the top 3? Again, imagine those teams all trying to get to the Conference Finals.

Can't wait for next year to start!

I agree kjbleu. Very exciting! This is starting to look like the NBA of old; both conferences fairly even with plenty of solid teams in the mix. I love it!
