There are alot of things going on in the NBA even though the season doesn’t start for almost 3 more months the offseason has it’s action which makes your anticipation for the season pretty high, because there are favorites who added pieces to there team to increase there chances at a championship and with that we’ll start with the Cleveland Cavaliers who added one of the best centers in history by trading for Shaquille O’Neal from the Phoenix Suns, who at 37 years old is still producing good numbers but will it be enough to get LeBron the championship he’s looking for, also in the Eastern Conference Orlando Magic, the defending champions from the East added all star forward Vince Carter to bolster there line up which reached the Finals. The Boston Celtics who won the title the previous year who was without one of there leaders in Kevin Garnett for the stretch run and the playoffs because of a knee injury added all star forward Rasheed Wallace and signed Marquis Daniels to try and make another run at the title and the fourth seeded Atlanta Hawks from last year added more scoring by acquiring Jamal Crawford from the Golden State Warriors and in the process resigning Mike Bibby and Zaza Pachulia but as far as the East is concerned my sleeper team is probably the between the Wizards and Raptors, not saying they’ll win the East but they’ll both be dangerous teams. The are other teams that could be dangerous this year which include Miami and Chicago. Now to the Western Conference which is still a very deep conference which is lead by the defending World Champion Los Angeles Lakers who’s led by Kobe Bryant, who I believe are probably the front runners to win the title again by not only resigning versatile power forward Lamar Odom but adding toughness by signing Ron Artest, so I see them hoisting up the trophy again, the Western Conference runner-up, Denver Nuggets should be a better because they’ll have Chauncey Billups for the entire season from training camp so they’ll benefit from that time, the only person they’ve lost was Dahntay Jones who signed with the Pacers, they’ll miss his defensive presence but they resigned Chris “Birdman” Andersen who became one of the most popular players in the league because of his play in the playoffs. The San Antonio Spurs who have won 4 titles since the great Tim Duncan was drafted will most likely be the biggest threat to the Lakers title hopes if they can have a healthy Manu Ginobili who’s had issues with his ankle, also if Duncan and Parker can maintain there performances from previous seasons, but the Spurs added versatile forward in Richard Jefferson and veteran power forward Antonio McDyess. The New Orleans Hornets who always a threat as long as they have Chris Paul running the point but they’ve finally traded Tyson Chandler who they’ve tried to trade last season to the Charlotte Bobcats for Emeka Okafur. In the West there are other good teams that could do damage this year which include Portland, Dallas, and Utah
