1. Orlando Magic- KEY PLAYERS: C Dwight Howard, SG Vince Carter, PG Jameer Nelson OUTLOOK: Probably the most interesting team in the Eastern Conference with the addition of Carter who is looking to make a name for himself again. I think they are a real threat to be back in the Finals. PREDICTION: 2nd in the Eastern Conference
2. Atlanta Hawks- KEY PLAYERS: SG Joe Johnson SF Josh Smith PF Al Hortford OUTLOOK: The Hawks had a successful year last year and they have Johnson in a contract year plus they seem to have very good team chemistry. The Hawks still have a reliable point guard in Mike Bibby as well. PREDICTION: 4th in the Eastern Conference
3. Miami Heat- KEY PLAYERS: SG Dwayne Wade, PF Michael Beasley, PG Mario Chalmers OUTLOOK: Wade should have another MVP-like season but the Heat have a lot of ifs and buts. Also I think they would want to move Jermaine O'Neal's corpse as well. If Beasley/Chalmers make that jump, look out. PREDICTION: 6th in the Eastern Conference
4. Washington Wizards- KEY PLAYERS: SG Gilbert Arenas SF Caron Butler PF Antwan Jamison OUTLOOK: If Agent Zero stays healthy, they could be better than my prediction but who knows, watch out for Andray Blatche too. PREDICTION: 7th in the Eastern Conference
5. Charlotte Bobcats- KEY PLAYERS: SF Gerald Wallace PG Raymond Felton C Tyson Chandler OUTLOOK: This may be Larry Brown last run, they do not have what it will take to keep up with this division. PREDICTION: 14th in the Eastern Conference
