Camby yearned to sign with a title contender, leading him to the Rockets. Yahoo! Sports
Quick thoughts only but Bucks Pistons looks like a wash. Knight might not be disgruntled/toxic though. Jennings may get some good veteran leadership which he hasn't had.
Can only see the Pacers and Bulls as a threat to the Heat in the East. But if Oden (who is looking good from all reports) goes to the Heat and they nurse him until late in the season and playoffs, then it's looking like a three peat.
Pistons could get a low playoff birth, but with a healthy wall and decent roster I think the wiz will make the playoffs this year along with the cavs, as long as Bynum doenst go bowling and wreck his knee again and become an expensive sideshow on the bench like last year for the sixers!!!
the bucks along with the hawks will go backwards...
the nets a threat to the heat??? maybe If they all stay healthy and can gel with Williams/Johnson/lopez...a lot of talent on one team and that doesn't always equate to a c'ship, I think the pacers and maybe bulls could challenge again, though the bulls I reckon have lost a couple of good pieces and maybe wont be quite as tough, rose "the self proclaimed best player in the world" will have to be back to or even better than he was before his injury, I personally think the guy likes to be treated with kitted gloves and is pretty soft...
---bold prediction---
look for john wall IF healthy for the season to become just as good as rose, if the games he played last year are anything to go by, this guy is GOING to be a spectacle...how well did they go with him back in the line up and the numbers he was starting to put up...no Jeremy lin here....
The heat will be back to the finals, they have this guy named lebron...you may have heard of him, the best player in the world...not derrick rose...

I just think with the Nets you add two key guys like K.G and AK47 who really don't care about stats and bring so much on D and do multiple things. The Nets may have an average season but they remind me of the old Blazers that were just vet savvy and a deep team. I think they'll be tough (if healthy) come the playoffs.
Hard to see the Bulls and Pacers beating the Heat really.
I like the Pistons, Wiz, Cavs call too. If healthy they'll all be either in the playoffs or on the cusp for sure.
