With the NBA season approaching, there is a lot of speculation on what to expect this season, from seed rankings to possible world champions, nothing is impossible, anything can happen.

The main hotbed of activity that everyone is keeping an eye on, is the Golden State Warriors. From acquiring the big name Kevin Durant in free agency, the Warriors have been predicted to absolutely dominate this season. Also the New York Knicks have also been one to keep an eye on, their roster being stacked with Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Carmelo Anthony, Brandon Jennings, any much more. Of course, people have also been paying attention to the reigning champions; the Cleveland Cavaliers. With little changes to their roster, nothing is preventing them from winning the championship consecutively.

While these super-teams are only focused on winning the championship, and dominating the league, other teams have different priorities. Teams like the Lakers, 76ers, and the Brooklyn Nets are mainly focused on rebuilding their franchise to become a solid championship contender as soon as possible however, rebuilding takes time. These teams rebuild through obtaining the best rookies, and developing them. All in all, the NBA season this year will be filled with surprises, and the fans are dying to watch.
