Although the Golden State Warriors made the splashy addition with the Kevin Durant signing, they lost a lot of key players they relied on over the last two seasons.
With the departure of big man Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights, the Warriors are going to have a hole to fill at the 5 spot.
So, it’s most likely going to take time for the team to figure things out, making the Cavs, again the team to look out for in the upcoming season.
Although they didn’t add anyone new to their roster, other than Mike Dunleavy, they’re hoping internal growth and chemistry can help propel them to another successful season.
With another year together and confidence sky-high off winning the championship last season, Cleveland hopes they have the recipe to repeat as back-to-back champions. Something that’s only been done 11 times before. And Cleveland’s hoping they can be No. 12.
