Who are the biggest threats to the Golden State Warriors this season?

#4. Oklahoma City Thunder

Westbrook is on a mission.

The resigning of Paul George was a huge relief for the Thunder, as was the release of Carmelo, because somehow the formula did not work out. With new recruits in the form of Nerlens Noel and Dennis Schroder, the Thunders pack a punch, especially when you have a triple double machine called Westbrook.

With Russell, Thunder will look forward to breaking through the early rounds of the playoffs, hoping for an exciting series between the two. It’s always fun to watch Westbrook and Durant go against each other.

#3. Los Angeles Lakers

Can the King push the Lakers beyond the Warriors?

Two words: LeBron James. Lakers have the best player in the world now, and with that in mind, no one can overlook them. Reaching the Finals has become a habit for the King, and he won’t let the streak end that easily.

The Western Conference is a completely different mountain, but the best player, along with Ingram, Kuzma, Rondo, Ball, McGee, Beasley, Caldwell-Pope can reach the peak, where they’ll find the Warriors waiting.

Magic Johnson pulled off the best move in the off-season, it's time to show that his decision was worthwhile. You cannot go wrong with LeBron James. Having faced the Warriors for 4 years in a row in the NBA Finals, the LeBron knows a thing or two about how to tackle the Warriors, and hopefully they'll meet again in the Conference Finals.

The ratings will sky rocket if the Lakers manage to pull that off.
