After a summer of player movement, predictions and speculation, the 2016-17 NBA season is just hours away. Here are complete season previews for all 30 teams.
The long summer drought is over for basketball fans. In just a few hours, the 2016-17 NBA season will be underway!
As always, it’s been an agonizingly long offseason. Even with the draft, free agency and the Summer Olympics, all our speculation, analysis and offseason grades can only do so much to fill the void left by real NBA basketball.
Luckily, we won’t have to wait much longer. The first three games of a 1,230-game regular season will be underway Tuesday evening, starting with the New York Knicks and defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers, the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers, and the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs.
In the meantime though, we might as well squeeze every last ounce of speculation out of the dwindling hours of the offseason.
Over the last month we’ve taken an in-depth look at each team’s 2016-17 season outlook, complete with roster breakdowns, the main storylines to keep an eye on, best- and worst-case scenarios, and overall predictions.
