A few of the most notable retirement changes this upcoming NBA season are three long-time NBA players Dwayne Wade, Tony Parker and Dirk Nowitzki. The most notable coaching changes in the league were the firing of Luke Walton and hiring of Frank Vogel for the LA Lakers.

During the off season, there were also several notable player changes via trade and free agency.

With some players getting more comfortable with being in the league some people predict will have a breakout year.

“Tre Young will be in the conversation for the Most Valuable Player this year. We are two weeks into the NBA season and a guy who has only been in the league one year is averaging 38 points per game.  He has to be in the conversation,” said Missouri Valley Men’s Basketball player Alonzo Williams. “For me one of my bold predictions is the Golden State Warriors will not be in the top five of the Western Conference.”

The Warriors have been the Western Conference Champions for the since the 2014-2015 season.
