The 2016-2017 NBA season is becoming one of the most controversial seasons of all time. This off-season we have seen a top 5 superstar join the prior season's runner up Golden State Warriors. Although this isn't the first time a super-team existed in the NBA (i.e. Showtime Lakers, Larry Bird's Celtic, Lebron's Heats), it does feel a bit different when a superstar jumps ship to the team that just knocked him out of the playoffs. So how would this season pan out? Cavs Repeat? Another Warrior's 73 wins season? Warriors sweep through playoffs? No matter what happens, Warriors will be playing with a much greater burden this year compared to prior year. Anything short of a championship would be considered a failure considering the pieces they had to offload to sign Durant and how close they were to winning the championship in the prior season if only Kyrie didn't have ice running in his veins.

In terms of the off-season, which team do you think performed the best/worst in terms of strengthening their team??

My pick:

Best - Celtics

Al Horford fits perfectly with Celtics, a player that can score, pass, and defend. A multi-dimensional player that has the playoff experience to lead the young Celtics. Jaylen Brown was a total surprise during the draft but has since shown his ability to get to the basket during the summer league. Averaging 22 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 3.6 steals in his final three games, not bad for a 3rd pick. He would need to continue working on his shooting but other than that he looks to have the athletic ability, intelligence, and confidence to thrive in the league.

Worst - Bulls

I seriously have no idea what Bulls are trying to do.... In a league where perimeter shooting is becoming more and more important, they have decided to field 3 players that have below average perimeter shooting (Butler, Wade, and Rondo).... Also in a season where they are going to hand the reins to Butler, they decide to sign two other alpha males that love to lead teams???
