The NBA’s Southeast Division is a whole lot different now than it was a year ago. Seemingly unbelievable events such as Dwyane Wade leave Miami and Al Horford leaving Atlanta has shaken up the entire division. In fact, the division title seems up for grabs even more so than last year, in which three teams topped it with a 48-34 record.
The intrigue does not stop there. For each departure, there is going to be a player expected to fill the void and for each new contract, there are raised expectations. There are players returning from lengthy injuries and some hoping for a rejuvenation.
