With the 2016-17 NBA season a little more than a month away from tipping off, we explore seven teams with the most bust potential entering the new year

NBA training camps open in roughly a month, and that’s great news for basketball heads that are just waiting for October to get here.

While there’s plenty being written up on how much the Golden State Warriors will dominate the NBA or how LeBron James is in prime position to take his place as the best basketball player ever, there’s certainly a number of other storylines worthy of attention.

A lot of them have to do with a handful of teams primed to bounce back after rough times over the last few seasons. After big offseasons and a key acquisition or two, there are several teams gaining all kinds of traction this summer probably even a team or two that shouldn’t even be garnering such praise, but HEY it’s the offseason. That’s what we do during the summer.

With that in mind, we explore seven teams that are entering the 2016-17 season with the most bust potential.

In other words, seven teams that simply might not live up to the lofty expectations that they’ve been placed under this summer.
