It feels like yesterday that the Lakers won their 17th championship. In a blink of an eye, the NBA Season begins in 3 days. Even though there was a short offseason, a lot of moves happened and in my opinion, the league is a lot more competitive this year. Russell Westbrook headed East, Montrezl Harrell switched locker rooms, and Gordon Hayward got a 4 year, $120M deal to head to Charlotte. Without further ado, I am going to try my best and give you the most accurate power rankings ever!
