Updated Eastern Conference Power Rankings

Where do the Bulls Land?

This offseason has been one of the more active ones in recent memory, and many trades such as Giannis moving to South Beach or Lebron making his final decision to move to Philly have clearly changed the balance of power in a seemingly more stacked Eastern conference.

Tier 1: Elite Title Contenders!

1. Philadelphia 76ers

Many would put the Knicks in the top spot after taking the title last season, but the current starting lineup of the Sixers just seems to set them apart. Looking at this team on paper, they boast 4 all stars and potentially a fifth in their young talent VJ Edgecomb. Pairing Edgecomb with All NBA point guard Tyrese Maxey gives them an electric backcourt that will continue to light it up for years to come. The Sixers also added Jaylen Brown in the trade with Paul George, giving them an athletic small forward who finished 6th in MVP voting last year and carried the Celtics to the 2nd seed. Let’s not forget about Embiid, who still averaged 27 ppg despite walking around on one healthy knee. When even just 75% healthy, Embiid is still one of the dominant forces in the league. On top of all of this talent we have the biggest story of the summer, Lebron. Lebron brings an element of Leadership, high basketball IQ, and still a very high level of play that puts this lineup over the top.

@embiiddropped70 The Norman Powell disrespect has got to stop 22 ppg all star getting better even with old age hard worker team player should be between book and herro but behind Austin reaves

@Sleeper_Hoops @sleeper76ers @SleeperSpurs @SleeperNuggets @SleeperKnicks @SleeperRaptors @SleeperThunder @SleeperHeat @SleeperTWolves @SleeperRockets @SleeperLakers Brown could honestly be third option is embiid stays healthy man if LeBron finds something crazy (I doubt it) he could be 4th

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@Lebronin1 Ant but not by a whole lot I still need to see ant make it all the way. It’s not really his fault though Randle and mcdaniels weren’t enough

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@PlayersChoice_ Kawhi, Durant , Flagg, and Tatum

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@aidenknowsball8 Thank you Caleb Wilson

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@Hoodimahomes_ Bulls are almost the same without whoever you call their best player Powell giddey and Buzelis and even Wilson are all similar in productions

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@Sleeper_Hoops @SleeperSacKings @SleeperWizards @SleeperMemphis @SleeperJazz @SleeperThunder Caleb Wilson is the best player in this class

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@RTNBA 6

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@Kenlovehoops I’m assuming the bulls are able mid

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@CooperFMuse Caleb Wilson

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@KreamyKroop @aidenknowsball8 Yeah anyone who’s saying that needs to think. Shaq the most dominant paint scorer of all time

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@PowerToLeo @aidenknowsball8 Yeah agreed Kats numbers were more about foul trouble

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@BarnetteJaiden @aidenknowsball8 Agreed kyrie probably wasn’t taking that pacers team to the finals

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@wavytalkhoops I think giddey but I don’t want to forget fox just because the tough stretch in San Antonio. Giddeys just been improving the most and could easily average 20,8 and 8 this year

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@aidenknowsball8 I think Kawhi has to be at least considered

[ChiCourtside @chicourtside]

@Sleeper_Hoops Giddey stays here
