Plenty of moves have been made thus far in the NBA offseason. Let’s take a look at five teams that could make a big improvement in 2018-19.

Waking up to news yesterday morning, (7/18) that San Antonio Spurs superstar forward Kawhi Leonard had been moved to the Toronto Raptors for another superstar in Demar Derozan, is only the tip of the iceberg. To say that the 2018 NBA offseason has been wild so far is a gross understatement.

We have seen the best player in the game, in Lebron James, move conferences. LA born and raised Paul George shunned his beloved hometown to stay in Oklahoma City to stay with notoriously ball-dominant Russell Westbrook. Demarcus Cousins took the MINIMUM to ring chase with the Golden State Warriors for the season.

Along with the pending moves of Carmelo Anthony and huge contracts given to guys like Chris Paul and Aaron Gordon there have been many wild happenings in the NBA over the past few weeks. Today, I will take a look at five teams that look to make a big jump next season over where they were in 2017-18. Some have made crazy moves, others subtler. Either way, this season is going to be nuts.
