One of the most exciting parts of the NBA offseason is trying to predict how all the various trades, free agency signings and draft picks are all going to end up affecting the final outcome of each of the league’s 30 teams. As players jump around or as recent draft picks impress in the Summer League, fans can’t help but ask the question, how good is my team going to be next season?
And even teams that have seemingly solid offseasons don’t always live up to their potential or hype. Injuries can occur, chemistry issues can arise or a number of other circumstances can hinder a team, making it a near impossibility to know just exactly how each squad will fare.
