It’s still early, but the 2015-16 NBA season is shaping up to be one of the most influential in recent history. A superstar is rewriting the history books, a major-market team has already fired its head coach and general manager, and a future legend is waiting in the wings of the draft.

It’s a wild time in the NBA, and this past week has only added to the craze.

It starts with recognizable names garnering trade interest from across the Association. It continues to a team that reached the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2015 considering a series of trades that would change the culture of the organization.

Furthermore, the previously alluded to team of many changes is now considering its options along the replacement front. They’re targeting big names with prestigious backgrounds, which makes this development all the more significant.
