NBA: New Season, New Players, Same Goal 🏆





Ladies & Gentleman...it’s finally here. October 2018 aka Basketball Season! After 15 Years Under The “Lebron James” System, The Eastern Conference finally became vacant once King James headed West to recreate “Showtime In LA”. With the additions of Lance Stephenson, Rajon Rondo & Javale McGhee combined with the young core Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram & Josh Hart, The Los Angeles Lakers are definitely the Sleeper Team To Watch this season in the already stacked Western Conference.

In Minnesota we have the lone wolf đŸș Jimmy Butler vs The Timberwolves. According to Woj of ESPN, In his recent return to team practice, Jimmy Buckets beat the starting lineup with 2nd & 3rd String Bench Players while putting Coach/GM Tom Thibodeau And The Front Office On notice by saying “You Can’t ****** Win Without Me”. With all the animosity in the air, it clear that Minnesota needs to trade Jimmy before the end of this season. If they can’t make a deal, then Jimmy becomes a Free Agent and the team will lose him for nothing in return.

Back out in the Eastern Conference, The Boston Celtics Are finally back with a full healthy roster. Gordon Hayward & Kyrie Irving both fell with injuries and surgeries prior to last years playoff run. However, the rest of the team made it to the Eastern Conference Finals only to lose to Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7. The only red flag I see stopping this potential Dynasty team from reaching this years NBA Finals is a lack of chemistry. Hayward, who missed the entire last season, needs time to find his place on a heavily stacked roster. Irving, who was traded to Boston, is looking forward to securing his vision with the young players who have the talent and need leadership.

If you’re a Miami Heat Fan, I’m sure you knew this day was coming. During the off-season Dwayne Wade officially announced that his will be his “Last Dance” as he looks forward to retiring after this season. This means that the young core Miami has been grooming will definitely have to step up and seek out every jewel D. Wade has to offer after 15 years in the league.

Season Officially Starts Oct. 16th !
