Offseason Developments NBA 2023/24

Here’s the latest scoop on NBA offseason developments for the 2023-24 season.

The Denver Nuggets Are In The Top Echelon

The Denver Nuggets are favourites to lead the pack this year, with veteran player Reggie Jackson getting the first shot at point guard. We can expect to see the team giving Braun more responsibility regarding the offence, too. They made the first offseason trade by swapping a protected 2029 pick to the Thunder for their 37th selection in this year’s draft. 

The Golden State Warriors Are Strengthening Their Team

During the offseason, the Golden State Warriors have added a new team member to their core – Chris Paul. Paul has won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and an NBA All-Star Most Valuable Player Award and sits in good stead to bring the team great success this season.

The Bucks Won Matthew Lillard In Sweepstakes

Debuting on the team, we can expect to see Matthew Lillard perform dynamically this season. Lillard provided a rocket-high of 39 points in his debut game, the highest we’ve seen from a debuting Milwaukee player since 1984.

A Surprise From The Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers are looking like some strong underdogs this season. With their expensive investment in Bruce Brown Jr., we can expect to see this team soar. Brown Jr. is known for excellence in ball handling, positional versatility, and veteran status in the championships. With him in the mix, the Pacers might make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2020!

A Comeback From The New York Knicks

The New York Knicks are looking strong this year. Though they’re lacking a star player to pull the team up, we can expect a solid performance from them throughout the next few months. And, there’s always the possibility that a player could demand a tradeoff (such as Joe Embiid, maybe?). Let’s not count them out yet.

The Washington Wizards Are Bringing It

The Warriors just traded Joe Pool to the Wizards, and it’s definitely going to spark an interesting shift. The Wizards will provide him with plenty of opportunities to prove his salt, with Tyus Jones feeding him the ball, who just moved over from Memphis.

The Houston Rockets Are Taking Off

We haven’t seen the last of this team, and we can expect to see solid improvements in play from the Houston Rockets this season. They’ve enriched their team with both veterans (Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks) and newcomers (Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr, and Amen Thomson), which is the perfect recipe for stars in the making. Their new head coach, Ime Udoka, will bring dynamic defensive strategies to the team. Expect to see play you haven’t seen in a long time from the Houston Rockets this season.

Who Is The Favorite For MVP This Season?

Last season, Nikola Jokic fell short and missed out on MVP. Embiid stole the title after voter fatigue left Jokic in the dust. However, with a championship success, there’s nothing stopping Jokic from stealing the MVP award this season, especially if the Nuggets live up to our expectations and predictions. 

He didn’t get his three-year MVP run, but is it time for Jokic to return to the top? There’s no doubt he’s the star player on everyone’s mind right now.

Aside from Jokic, there’s some serious competition in play from Jayson Taytum. He may not achieve the grandiose stats Jokic and Embiid will achieve this season, but let’s not count him out of the running. Now that he’s playing alongside Holiday, we can expect to see more offensive success from him, placing him in good stead to steal the MVP award.
