With reports LeBron James is headed West, what does that mean for the Brooklyn Nets and the balance of power in the East?
James played for the Eastern Conference’s representative in the NBA Finals in each of the last eight years — from 2011-14 with the Miami Heat and the last four seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Sunday evening, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN dropped a #WojBomb of epic proportions when he reported that James has agreed to a four-year, $154 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The last time an Eastern team without James played for an NBA title, the Nets were still in New Jersey and Phil Jackson was still coaching the Lakers, leading them past the Boston Celtics for the championship.
