Last Monday, the 2017-2018 NBA Schedule was released, so you can check out which teams you favorite is playing when and where. The question now is, which is the most must-see games of the season? Could it be the big rematch on Christmas Day between two NBA Finalists, or it is Chris Paul returning to the Los Angeles Clippers, but as a Houston Rocket? Top Ten has covered a breakdown list from the Bleacher Report website and I could not tell if wether they did it from from top to bottom or bottom to top, you be the judge.

(#10) March 28: Boston Celtics vs Utah Jazz, Gordon Hayward will return to Utah.

(#09) March 11: Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves, Experience vs Youth.

(#08) Jan. 29: Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks, Both teams are looking to improve.

(#07) Jan. 22: Portland Trail Blazers vs Denver Nuggets, Both vying for spots in playoffs.

(#06) Jan. 15: Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Clippers, Chris Paul returns to Los Angeles.

(#05) Jan. 3: Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics, Top 2 East Teams from last season.

(#04) Dec. 25: Washington Wizards vs Boston Celtics, Classic East Battle on Christmas.

(#03) Dec. 25: Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors, Not bad for the third spot.

(#02) Nov. 22: Golden State Warriors vs Oklahoma City Thunder, West Rivalry for the ages.

(#01) Nov. 15: Philadelphia 76ers at Los Angeles Lakers, They had the Top 2 Draft picks.

Since we are talking about the NBA, our #TwitterTrend is all about one player, LeBron James. The most breaking stories we have heard for all of the NBA off-season have come from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who one year ago where NBA Champions, then lost in five games of this year's Finals with the Golden State Warriors. Then Kyrie Irving demanded that he be traded, for he claims that he does not what to play for Cleveland anymore, even though he has won a Championship with the team, it is still unknown if he will be traded before the start of the season, as the Cavs do not have a place to send to him. Now in a new breaking story, according yo veteran NBA Scribe Chris Sheridan, the 2017-18 season will be LeBron James' last season in Cleveland, "He is 100 percent leaving." and it's due to the fact that LeBron's relationship with Cleveland Cavs owners are beyond repair.THis is a shock to all basketball fans, me included, LeBron has only played three seasons in Cleveland since making his return, he has taken the team to three straight NBA Final appearances, and now hearing that he will play his fourth and final seasons I cannot imagine where he's going to play next. Many fans and players have surely criticized this move, even the Warriors' own Kevin Durant, who said that you cannot trade a legend like LeBron James, but if that's how James wants to play, then so be it. It will already be a crazy new NBA season, so let's see how people are responding on twitter, but first, check out these two videos from ESPN regarding the LeBron departure.

Shahan Ahmed @shahanLA
wild...Cleveland's had just about the worst offseason of any team in the NBA.

Peter Bukowski @Peter_Bukowski
If only he could have known 3 years ago the owner was a crazy person ...

Patrick Claybon @PatrickClaybon
Maybe they burn Dan Gilbert jerseys this time

Tim Micallef @tim_micallef
Chris has warned you before...and been right on LeBron's return to Cleveland.

LD @lildickytweets
If I'm Cleveland, I'm one thousand percent trading LeBron

Kevin Durant @KDTrey5
u can't trade a legend. He is Cleveland, he gets to hold the cards

LD @lildickytweets
He did it, they won. If I'm him I despise Gilbert for a variety of reasons. If I'm Gilbert, I'm getting something back this time. He's gone

Kevin Durant @KDTrey5
I feel what you're saying. Most owners think that way, but then you realize it's lebron james.
