I think the East will be headlined by Kyrie or Giannis. Team Kyrie v. Team LeBron would be one hell of a headline for the ASG though. If the Pistons make the Playoffs I think it's as the 8th seed, maybe 7th if Casey can teach defense and emphasize FT% for Drummond. As for Howard, I would like to see him play well, he did well in Charlotte stats wise, but he has a big ego, and wants to be the alpha. Washington is John Wall's team, if Howard can accept that, then he will do well as he is a huge improvement from Gortat.
