In our 2016-17 NBA Regular season award predictions roundtable, we explore whether the Golden State Warriors or the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the Title

While most of this year’s attention in the NBA will surround whether the new-look Golden State Warriors can form into the best team the league has ever seen, or if the Cleveland Cavaliers can repeat as NBA Champions, there are certainly plenty of other storylines heading into the 2016-17 season.

For instance, there’s a slew of talented rookies who are worth keeping tabs on – even with Ben Simmons expected to miss the majority of the season.

The same could be said about the number of MVP candidates – Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook. Will voters hold it against the Warriors and shy away from voting for Curry or Durant?

Will LeBron regain the throne that he believes is rightfully his?

With a number of storylines yet to be answered as the 2016-17 NBA season tips off, we begin the frenzy by making our award and season predictions.
