The New Balance of Power in the East

The whirlwind that has been NBA free agency is finally settling down. Most of the big impact names have signed and the dust is starting to settle.

After all the trades, signings, and homecomings, a new power structure has emerged in the East. Cleveland no longer stands alone against the beasts of the West and Boston has found it a star in Al Horford who could push the team into the upper echelon of the East once more. Indiana has made several moves to produce one of the most exciting, young starting line-ups in the league. Also, the New York Knicks are hoping to revitalize the core of the Bulls from five years ago by bringing in Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.
