The 2016-17 NBA season is finally here. In honor of the season opening, we open the year with a Western Conference Roundtable

The wait is over. The 2016-17 NBA regular season is finally upon us.

The Cleveland Cavaliers raise their NBA Championship banner tonight (against the new-look New York Knicks), and the Golden State Warriors begin their journey to the top of the league (against the San Antonio Spurs), once again. Though, with a bit of a facelift – and reinforcements.

And that’s just the first night of the season.

From the young Minnesota Timberwolves to the heavy favorites, the Western Conference will have a lot to offer this season. As the season prepares to tip off, we get you ready with a Western Conference NBA Roundtable.
