NBA Analysis Network

The NBA’s 75th season is upon us and while all 30 teams in the league enter the new year with playoff/championship aspirations, some dreams just do not become reality. The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets enter the year as two heavy favorites to reach the NBA Finals, but they may not be the only teams to keep an eye on all year long. 

The Philadelphia 76ers and Utah Jazz finished with the best records in the Eastern and Western Conferences, respectively, last season, and both the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns are the reigning Conference Champions. 

There is a lot to talk about league-wide in terms of contending teams and one of those topics is potential trade situations to monitor heading into the new year. Every team around the league is always trying to get a leg up on each other when it comes to talent on their roster, hence why we could once again see a lot of trades made this season.
