LeBron James was the undisputed king of the Eastern Conference for eight straight years. With LeBron's move to the Los Angeles Lakers, what does that mean for the Bulls and the rest of the Eastern Conference?
For one, it means a lot of teams in the Eastern Conference feel a heck of a lot better about their chances to get to the NBA Finals. James has won the Eastern Conference the past eight years, four with Miami and the last four with Cleveland, and nine of the last 12.
Boston becomes the immediate favorite after getting to the conference finals without Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, but there could still be a scramble of teams trying to solidify their roster to contend for that NBA Finals spot that suddenly seems more attainable for everyone outside of Cleveland.
