NBA: 5 teams who have improved their stock over the summer

The NBA offseason has been action-packed from beginning to end, but these five teams have improved the most.

The NBA offseason is a crazy time.

Commissioner Adam Silver has done a wonderful job to spread out the league’s events and ensure they dominate throughout the long, dragging summer.

It begins almost immediately after the last NBA Finals game in June and carries all the way to the start of the now-extended regular season in the middle of October. During that time, fans get to experience trades, the draft, more trades, free agency, even more trades, NBA Summer League and so on.

No player is safe from the constant rumors and speculation that takes place during the sport’s dead season (what else is there to pay attention to during the dog days of summer?).

Fans are enamored at every turn, never having enough of the seemingly non-stop action. For the fans of the good teams, that is.

They can’t wait until the season arrives, constantly talking with their buddies about how good their favorite team will be next year. They continuously hype each other up, discussing their team’s championship aspirations and potential.

These five teams have given their fans the most to be excited about going into the 2017-18 NBA season.
