The 2018-19 NBA season tips off with LeBron James in a Los Angeles Lakers jersey, as he attempts to challenge the Golden State Warriors in the western conference after dominating the east for a decade. Golden State enters the season with yet another all-star on their roster, after Boogie Cousins decided to join the champs.

As the 2018-19 NBA campaign approaches, everyone expects the Golden State Warriors to waltz into their third consecutive championship. Nonetheless, an 82-game regular season will take place before the NBA playoffs commence, determining a post season picture that will likely include the Warriors and Boston Celtics as favorites to win their respective conferences.

The NBA season isn't too far away and once again it's a tale of two conferences: the East is wide open thanks to LeBron James leaving for Los Angeles while the West is still Warriors' territory. The Raptors remain powerhouses in the East thanks to a huge deal but the rest of the East are all licking their chops and hungry to be the conference's NBA Finals representative.

The 2018-19 NBA season hasn’t started, but many consider the end result a foregone conclusion. Nobody in the league offered DeMarcus Cousins a contract during the offseason, so Boogie waltzed into the Warriors front office and signed an inexpensive, one-year contract worth $5,337,000 – far below his market value as an elite big man. As such, Golden State’s an overwhelming favorite to earn a third consecutive ring while the rest of the association experiences envy.

“Can’t trust ‘em. Ain’t no loyalty in this game. Sell you out quick for a little bit of nothing”, DeMar DeRozan posted on Instagram. The Raptors traded one of the finest, universally-admired athletes in Toronto history for the most mysterious player in the association - former NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. GM Masai Ujiri, preacher of organizational culture, appears to place a blind bet on a player who appeared in nine games last season, upheaving years of internal development.

After LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA east might be the worst conference in major pro sports. King James was one of the last holdouts in the east after Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony and Paul Millsap were traded or signed with west coast teams. After LeBron made the NBA finals eight consecutive times from the east, his departure leaves a massive competitive hole on the east side of the association.

The NBA Draft is the most exciting draft thanks to how quickly the players make an impact. Within a year, the top picks alter a franchise and show their superstar-potential or they could make the team regret their choice by playing like a dud. A thin line separates the busts like Anthony Bennett and the superstars like Blake Griffin. We look at a few potential sleepers and busts.

The NBA Playoffs return with the Conference Finals. The main event battle between the top-seeded Houston Rockets and defending champions Golden State Warriors starts Monday. The East features a rematch between LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Boston Celtics who are hungry for revenge. Both conference finals are headed to a game 7 and oddsmakers believe we're headed for a clash between Boston and Golden State.
