For example, will the Damian Lillard saga follow the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat into the start of the season? Will LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers pick up where they left off in last year’s postseason, or will they fall back to reality in a deep Western Conference?
Amid the whispers, can Giannis Antetokounmpo fuel the Milwaukee Bucks to climb back up to the Eastern Conference? Is this the year that the Boston Celtics break through in the East and win their first Championship since 2008?
Will the overlooked Denver Nuggets be the favorites to repeat? Do the retooled Phoenix Suns finally have enough to win a chip? There is also a bevy of other eye-catching storylines in the Western Conference. Can the Golden State Warriors bounce back? Are the Sacramento Kings for real?
