In this offseason, many teams in the league have completed excellent recruitments, the 76ers have brought in Paul George, the Knicks have brought in Bridges, the Pelicans have brought in Murray, and the Kings have introduced DeRozan.
Tenth Walker
The Pacers are underrated, they may be able to go further in the new season, first of all, this team has enough talent, and they already have a good offensive system, last season they were the first in the league in offensive efficiency in the regular season and playoffs, Mazzulla talked about the Pacers in a recent interview, he said that the most difficult opponent to win the championship last season was the Pacers, he thought the two sides could play a tie-break, and the Pacers retained the core lineup in the offseason.
Ninth Buck
Because the Bucks introduced Lillard, so their strength has also been questioned, last season's team was only the first round of the playoffs, to be honest, even if the letter is not injured, in terms of their strength, they will not be able to win the championship, this offseason the Bucks retained their core lineup, introduced Trent and Prince, the team's lineup is stronger, but if the problem of backcourt defense cannot be solved, and the problem of dual-core compatibility, the Bucks still do not have the strength to win the championship.
The Eighth King
After the Kings introduced DeRozan, they are also very optimistic, and now the team has three All-Star level players, and Fox and DeRozan have good key ball ability, they also have a top sixth man like Monk off the bench, the Kings should be able to secure a Western Conference playoff spot in the new season, but this team has no defensive system, and it is difficult for them to hit the championship, and ranking eighth is also overestimated.
Seventh Nuggets
After the Nuggets lost Pope, they were also questioned more, after all, the Nuggets' strong starting lineup has disintegrated, and Pope's departure also made their defensive system collapse, and the introduction of Wei Shao has almost no projection ability, and it does not help the team much, that is, Jokic is the first person in the league, so the American media ranked them seventh, if the current Jokic is at the end of his career like Janduku, it is estimated that the Nuggets will not be able to enter the top ten.
Sixth, 76 people
The 76ers have been doing a great job this offseason, they have taken George, re-signed Maxey, plus Embiid, they are still the Big Three, in addition to bringing in Caleb Martin, Zhuang Shen and Gordon, renewing Lowry and Oubre, the team's roster is excellent and experienced, this team is indeed a good championship configuration, but their health is not guaranteed, maybe this is the main reason why they are not favored.
Fifth Knicks
The Knicks brought in Bridges in the offseason, and they also retained the core lineup of last season, and the Knicks will start Bridges, Anunoby, Brunson, Randle and Miro in the new season, and McBride, Hart and DiVincenzo will be the core rotation, and the Knicks' eight-man rotation can be said to be very luxurious, and their defense will be very scary, but the team's problem is also obvious, they lack qualified backup centers.
Fourth, the Timberwolves
In the eyes of many American media, the Timberwolves have a chance to play in the West in the new season, after all, their roster is thick enough, the team has three stars with an annual salary of 200 million, in addition to their good squad thickness and blue-collar configuration, Edwards and McDaniels will rise in the new season, and the most unstable factors for the Timberwolves in the new season are Conley's aging, the team's lack of qualified point guards, and then whether Gobert will be targeted in the playoffs.
The third lone ranger
The Mavericks brought in Klay, Marshall and Grams in the offseason, and the team's roster thickness has been improved, they have won multiple 3Ds, although Klay is now 3 without D, but his projection is still very good, and he has championship experience, Marshall can also make up for Jones's departure, if Grams can return to the level before the major injury, then the team will be very good, after all, Lively will rise in the new season.
Second Thunder
The Thunder did not bring in big-name stars this offseason, but they made the most suitable reinforcements, the team won Caruso and Harden, the team's two biggest problems were solved, Giddey had no defensive ability before, and the three-point shooting was unstable, and now with Caruso, Holmgren couldn't carry it on the inside, and now with Harden, this problem is solved, Holmgren can also come to the No. 4 position, and he and Jaewe will also rise in the new season.
First Celtic
The Green Army didn't bring in many reinforcements in the offseason, they just took Lonnie Walker, and at the same time renewed the core of the team, they kept the core lineup, as the defending champions, if they can keep the core lineup, they will be the biggest favorites to compete for the championship, speaking of which, what do you want to say about these 10 teams?
