Discussing many topics as the 2018-19 NBA season opens in our roundtable, including Jimmy B, the defending champs and a lot more

The 2018-19 NBA season is finally here. Well, there are still a few hours before it officially tips off, but this is the week that we will finally see real, meaningful basketball again.

After a summer that saw LeBron James head West, Kawhi Leonard be shipped North and Jimmy Butler possibly shipped (South), there are many storylines that will dominate the first few weeks of the NBA season. How will LeBron James look with the Los Angeles Lakers? Will Kawhi be happy with the Toronto Raptors? Will Butler ever. get traded, or will he actually suit up for the Minnesota Timberwolves on opening night?

Let’s jump right into the new campaign, with a few topics.

Here is our season opening NBA Roundtable, where we discuss Jimmy Butler, the Golden State Warriors, who the favorites in the Eastern Conference should be and more.
