Over the course the coming days and weeks, The BroadCast plans to bring you plenty of content that sets the stage for the 76ers’ 2016-2017 season. But, with there still being a little bit of downtime before the team gathers for training camp, Sixers.com’s Charlie Widdoes and Brian Seltzer wanted to step back, and revisit some of the top storylines that have emerged throughout the rest of the NBA in recent months. In the first installment of The BroadCast’s “Season Preview” series, Charlie and Brian touch base with cbssports.com national hoops writer Zach Harper. During the interview, Harper discusses:

*How the Warriors will approach the season, on the heels of signing Kevin Durant.

*The state of the Cavaliers, following their 2016 title season.

*Teams that could be sleeper candidates for the playoffs.

Harper also shares a few of his thoughts on the state of the Sixers, and reminisces about food adventures taken with the Sixers.com family during summer league. The conversation begins at the 5:40 mark of the podcast.
