Ponder the entire league, all 30 teams.

What are you most excited about this upcoming season?

And, what other interesting stuff are you looking forward to as far as new player combos, young players ready to bust out, etc?

Looking forward to:

Durant on Warriors
New look Knicks (even though I think they will be awful)
Cleveland ring ceremony, and seeing if they repeat.
Westbrook vs Durant (we get this 4 times!)
Celtics should be really good

I want to see the New Look Knicks prove the haters wrong.

Can't wait to finally see Joel Embiid in action, and this young Philly team start to surprise some people.

Minnesota will also be fun to watch, as we see KAT and Wiggins continue to develop. I also want to see if Dunn can steal that starting PG spot from Rubio.

Kyrie seems poised to rise to a new level of superstardom. He'll be one to keep an eye on.

Russell Westbrook is going to go absolutely APESHIT this year as well.

Bradley Beal better play out of his mind with that $130m he signed this summer. He'll be under a microscope in DC this year.

I can't wait for the season to start, bruh. Aside from Golden State running a train on the rest of the league, I think it'll be a fun year of basketball.

Just looking forward to seeing my Wolves play, man. Been a good, good,......good while since we've had this kind of hope.

I'm looking forward to seeing Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors win the championship this season. It's going to be GREAT! :rockon:

less mainstream ones.

Can the Clippers finally make the conference finals since this seems like their last shot.

Will Kawhi prove himself to be a top 5 player or regress.

Can Dwight have a career resurgence in Atlanta.

Can Milwaukee breakthrogh.

I'm also curious to see if any NBA players will take a knee during the National Anthem and/or hold up the Black Power fist.

Obviously, can N.Y. make a deep run?

Is this the year LeBron suffers an injury?

Are the Warriors going to implode with the addition of KD?

Will the Timberwolves make believers out of the unbelievers?

Can the Heat make the playoffs without Wade's leadership?

Can Sactown, Nets, Houston and the Lakers continue to keep us entertained with their follies?

Lots of changes. Looking forward to a very interesting season.

Aside from the more obvious ones:

How will the rookie trio of Simmons/Embiid/Saric play?

How will Wade & Dwight play for their hometowns?

Will Antetokounmpo dominate playing the point?

Is PG13 ready to take the next step with a new supporting cast?

Is this Dirk's last year?

Will Ibaka return to his old form with the Magic?

Will Harden bounce back and become a MVP contender once again?

Will LeBron go for the regular season MVP late in the season if he feels he has a chance at it?

How much more of a step the Celtics can take this season. Adding Horford into the mix should boost their wins a little bit and come playoff time, get into the 2nd round.
