(33,643 posts)In fact the start of the next basketball season is actually coming up here ... so WHY exactly are we talking about this NOW?
Doesn't a team normally visit the WH (if they're going to go) shortly after they actually win their title, as opposed to right before the NEXT season starts?
And why does the Warriors letter talk about going to DC in February (I assume that's 2018)?
Totally confused re: the timing of this whole thing.
