LeBron James joins Lakers as Eastern Conference loses major player

Miami Heat lost a formidable foe as LeBron James signed a $154 million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.

This leaves a top four spot in the Eastern Conference a distinct possibility for the Miami Heat.

With the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers as rivals, a healthy Miami may be in the mix for home court advantage at season’s end.
