Why Next NBA Season Would Be Boring Yet Competitive
Episode 1 What would next season be like?
After the Cavs and Warriors trilogy in the NBA Finals, most superstars from the Eastern Conference have moved out west for a quest in winning a championship. After the Cavs lost, the general manager was fired. They were trying to recruit more superstar like Paul George from the Pacers and Jimmy Butler from the Bulls. However their plan backfired because Paul George had interest of signing with the Lakers since nobody wanted Kevin Love or Iman Shumpert.
For the Boston Celtics, they recieved Gordon Hayward from the Utah Jazz. With Gordon on the Celtics, this would give them a chance to compete with Cleveland to claim a title. But the Celtics had to make some room for Hayward as they traded Avery Bradley, one of the best defenders in the league, to the Detroit Piston, and Kelly Olynik. For the Wizards, John Wall signs a 4 year, $170 million extension with the Washington Wizards, same thing with Bradley Beal and Otto Porter. By the way, u know how LeBron's going to play his last season with the Cavs and Kyrie wants out when LeBron leaves? Well Kyrie changed his mind on being traded this season because he says he wants to be the main guy and doesn't want to play with LeBron any more. Just remember Kyrie doesn't really score a lot when LeBron's around. If he was on a team like the heat or the Knicks, he would be a scoring machine. He's a type of player who scores when he needs to. But the Spurs would be another story because u you still got Kawhi Leonard who averaged 28 a game last season. The Timberwolves, Kyrie's last interest has 2 players tat averages over 20 a game, so it would probably be more easy for Kyrie to score a little bit more.

Meanwhile in the West, its getting a whole lot interesting with the Rockets, Timberwolves, and Thunder. Chris Paul of the LA Clippers has signed with the Houston Rockets along with James Harden. The Rockets are still trying to lure Carmelo Anthony to Houston by making a 3-way deal with the Knicks and the Trailblazers. However, the Knicks aren't sure whether to let Carmelo go for trading even though the Cavs are still trying to get Anthony by trading their bench. For the Timberwolves, with Jimmy Butler added to the starting 5 along with Karl Anthony-Towns and Andrew Wiggins, there is no doubt that the Timberwolves would head to the playoffs. As for the Thunder, they recieved Paul George and traded Victor Olidipo, Domantas Sabonis and Enes Kanter to the Pacers and since they did that, Westbrook would have plenty of help but wouldn't really average a triple-double for every game. Who knows? Maybe he will.
In conclusion, the Cavs and Warriors Era may come to an end as new superteams are being created out west, LeBron playing his last season with the Cavs and Kyrie leaving to get traded, and also the 2017 draft rookies about to make their first debut playing in the league. Who knows what will happen next season?
