Fair but there were only 4 teams with 50 wins in the east vs 7 teams with +50 wins in the west. Certainly more parity last year which caused more winning record teams.

But teams in the east are starting to separate now with more star power.

Happy to grab 2 top-15 picks for #6 and #27, and then moving my 2nd rounders (besides #36) for future picks helps with my cap management for this year(plus who would want like 6 rookies lol)

I had a few targets in the top 15 but didn't wanna reach at #6, so this allows me to grab 2 of my targets projected in the top 15 area. :D

But teams in the east are starting to separate now with more star power.

the playoffs were way more competitive in the east than it was in the west though. 3 playoffs series went to at least 6 games. in the west only one series went to 6 games.

and you can't just look at 50 win teams either. a team with 45 wins got to the finals. that's how competitive it was.

not knocking anyone in the west, but the east disrespect still doesnt make sense to me. it was super competitive last year, more than the west.
