The only common denominator is that the teams willing to give up talent to get talent were in the west. Wolves would trade to get better. The rockets too. The thunder. Outside of the Celts, what eastern team has even been mentioned in trying? I can't think of one.

I think it makes sense. The East teams, for the most part, appear to be focusing on building through the draft to compete in a couple of years (once the Cavs are done). The West teams, who already have talent, are attempting to go for it now.
