In one of the most explosive off-seasons in recent memory, several teams in the Western Conference bolstered their rosters through blockbuster trades, free agency signings and draft picks.
With the perennial NBA Finals locks known as the Golden State Warriors losing two former Finals MVPs in Andrew Iguodala and Kevin Durant, as well as Klay Thompson reportedly not being available until after the All-Star break, the West is as wide open as it’s ever been.
Armed with a fully-healthy Dejounte Murray, the addition of DeMarre Carroll, promising draft picks and assistant coach Tim Duncan, the Spurs are poised to be right in the mix come playoff time in the new-look west.
