<H1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="784" > Houston rocket</h1>
Last season, the Rockets, who were a rotten team, won the list of this year's draft and successfully selected Jaylen Green, the ticket harvester of the new era. The rocket's goal this year is still to be a mess. The introduction of Theis is more like allowing Wood to have a decent No. 5 player when the team is on leave. Martin Jr. and Kevin Porter both need time to grow, and it is difficult to perform well in a short period of time. The post-Harden Rockets will have at least three more seasons to rebuild, and they don't have the spurs' capital to do a semi-rebuild with Ade and DeRozan in the last two seasons.
Highlights of the new season: whether Jaylen Green can win the best rookie
Rank Prediction: West 14-15
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="786" > Oklahoma Thunder</h1>
As the weakest team in the Northwest Division, the Thunder's situation in the past two years is not much different from that of the Rockets. With more than 30 draft picks hoarded, they will have some big operations in the future, such as trying to swallow Wall's contract in order to reach the poor line. But the team's primary goal is to train Alexander, Poku, Maleton and others, and the team selected No. 6 coach Josh Gidi, No. 18 show Trey Mann and Argentine this year, overall, the Thunder's training task is heavier than the Rockets.
And the complication is that they all want to childishly wait for the moisture of time. This season, the Thunder will not care too much about the record, just like Alexander often took inexplicable breaks last season, which is actually to give up the season.
Highlights of the new season: Whether new talents such as Gidey and Mann can be selected for the best rookie team
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="788" > Denver Nuggets</h1>
The Nuggets have reached the Western Conference Finals and Western Conference semifinals in the past two seasons, and if Murray hadn't been reimbursed early last season, perhaps the Suns wouldn't have been so passive in the semifinals. The prospects of the Nuggets in the new season regular season are still relatively optimistic. First of all, Jokic has proven that he is the best interior player in the league right now, and his health and attendance are better than Embiid's. If you have to pick a fault, I think it is still my emotions that need to be controlled, and sometimes my ability and emotions are indeed improved at the same time, and Luca can be thought of here!
With Murray determined that he would not return until the second half of the season, Porter became the second in command of the team and needed to play a more aggressive offense, rather than just participating in jump shots. The team didn't have many reinforcements in the summer, more to leave the likes of Rivers Barton Jr., and jeff Green's arrival could enrich the playing style of the small squad. In the absence of Murray, Malone said that he would play faster, and I think the Nuggets' big points in the new season will not be less.
What to watch in the new season: Can Jokic win the regular season MVP?
Rank Prediction: West 3-5
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="790" > St. Anthony Spurs</h1>
The Spurs cut Aldridge last season and sent DeRozan away in the summer to begin an official rebuilding journey. They are likely to miss the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. Popovich may also be in charge of his last season. The Spurs' rookies all look quite distinctive, Jasmine, Walker, KJ, but they lack absolute talent, and it is difficult to replicate the trajectory of Leonard's growth led by GDP in the current situation without star players.
In the new season, the Spurs will spend more time cultivating Primo, Vassell and others, but judging from the attitude of the game in the past two seasons, the Spurs will not deliberately mess up, and the team's own wind bone requires them to go all out every game.
Highlights of the new season: Morrison has a chance to win the most advanced award
Rank Prediction: West 10-13
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="792" > Golden State Warriors</h1>
The Warriors' results last season can only be described as regret. Curry played the peak of the personal performance, but helpless team rushed to the peak of the situation, in the final 2-3 years of Curry's career may be the peak of the situation, the Warriors are extremely urgent to quickly return to the throne.
This season, the team brought in Alto Porter, along with big top scorer Belica, selected Moody and Cuminga, and the overall squad was enriched. Although the newcomers may not have many opportunities, the biggest good news is that Clay has the opportunity to complete his comeback before the end of this year, and two consecutive years of serious injuries have made his situation unpredictable, but at least Clay's lower limit is not too bad. Coupled with the rise of Poole this year, no matter how Klay performs, Poole can bring the same outstanding projection in the quarterback position, and Curry is not as stressful as last season.
Highlights of the new season: Can the Warriors enter the upper half of the West?
Rank Prediction: West 4-6
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="794" > Sir Utah</h1>
The biggest move the Jazz made this summer was to keep Conley on a 3-year, 6800W extension, maintaining the full lineup of the Western Conference head for nearly two years. What makes this team great is its execution and stability. A bunch of old balls with very stable and practical league players: Bojan, Ingles, Conley. There are also supernovae like Mitchell. This season's no.40 pick, Jared Butler, has shown excellent scoring ability, averaging 18 points in three preseason games and shooting more than 50% in two games. His presence makes us look forward to what he and Clarkson can do on the bench.
The Jazz's offensive and defensive stability is commendable, and last season's efficiency was in the league's top five levels. But they also have problems, such as last season's Western Conference semifinals against the Clippers, the team still lost in the lead, and lost on the bench. In the final moments, the team still only relies on the starter, but fortunately, this year there is Butler and Whiteside, who is the arrival of the base salary, targeted reinforcement is very critical.
Highlights of the new season: whether the second team Whiteside + Clarkson + Butler can complete the consolidation of the advantage
Rank Prediction: West 1-3
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="796" > Phoenix Sun</h1>
The Suns were a shame in last season's finals, but we marveled at how they fought for the victory. But to put it bluntly, this season may not be so lucky. First of all, the three opponents they face in the West have the lack of core players, Davis, Murray, Leonard, and the overall strength of the West this season is relatively stable and consolidated, let's see what the Suns have done?
The first is the trade for Shamet, a player who has good three-point ability on the bench. At the same time, he won the championship center Javier McGee 500W a year, mcGee's arrival is to be able to supplement last season's Saric and Kaminsky injuries without Ayton substitutes available, but McGee's playing time in key games is also limited, after all, the function is too single. Paul is 36 years old, can he still magically bring the old to the new? I find it difficult.
Highlights of the new season: Can the Suns reach the top four of the West End?
Rank Prediction: West 3-6
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="798" > Milwaukee Bucks</h1>
As defending champions, the Bucks did not make personnel adjustments with much fanfare. As defending champions, they are the keepers and will be more cautious and careful. In the summer, the team did not leave for Forbes, who was offensively strong and defensive, but instead got the diverse and defensive Grayson Allen, while welcoming back George Hill.
After this adjustment, the Bucks' core lineup has undergone subtle changes. With the main five not changing, their core eight became even more frightening, and Bertis, Allen and George Hill on the bench were well positioned to maintain the advantage, or even extend it. The Bucks are strong in attack and defense, and they are the team with the best chance of reaching the top of the East in the new season. (PJ Tucker's departure from the team will not have much impact for a short period of time)
What to watch in the new season: The Bucks may look tough defending their titles, but they are the healthiest team
Forecast Ranking: 1st in the East
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="800" > Washington Wizards</h1>
Is the Wizards better than last season? I think it will, and even I think they have a chance to finish in the top six in the East and go straight to the playoffs.
After The departure of Westbrook, the main assets are: Pop, Harrell, Kuzma, and after signing Dinwiddie, the team's backcourt double gun can still be ranked in the East. The Wizards need to balance the playing time of Gisport, Kuzma and Avdia.
For now, Kuzma, who is better at attacking, will not unexpectedly get a starting spot, while Yamura, who has been affected from the sidelines, is currently in a worrying situation. This season's Wizards continue to maintain the pace of last season's fast offense, and what I'm looking forward to is whether Wes Unseld Jr. can hold back this new group of players. At the same time, will Bill stay in Washington, D.C., alone? His task is daunting.
What to watch in the new season: Can the Dingby combination be better than the Wibby combination?
Forecast Rank: East 6-8
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="802" > toronto raptors</h1>
Last season's Raptors missed the playoffs again after a gap of seven years, and the summer also sent away the team's nine-year-old hero Lowry. The new season team has only 1 star, that is Siakam, and it seems that rebuilding is the best option. Although Siakam is not traded at the moment, in my opinion, instead of spending so hard, it is better to unplug the oxygen cylinder and rebuild.
The team's summer get of Achuva and rookie Barnes are also difficult to become pillars of the future. Siakam proved himself to be the second in command last season, and there are loopholes in his offensive methods. If they want to rebuild like the Spurs have been in the last two seasons — I don't think it's necessary to develop young people while getting results. The new season is not optimistic that the Raptors can enter the playoffs, and this former Eastern Conference powerhouse may have to stop the regular season in a row.
What to watch in the new season: Can Barnes grab more playing time in chaotic Toronto?
Forecast Rank: East 10-13
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="804" > Orlando Magic</h1>
The Magic finished second-to-last in the East, and after sending Gordon and Vucevic off in a row, the team once again began to rebuild. It's not just the players who left the team in the summer, the old coach Clifford is also gone, you know that in the past three years he has helped the team into the playoffs twice in a row, but both are a round trip, obviously not to the satisfaction of the team.
They have a No. 5 pick, Sargas, but the Magic's management choice has always been a mystery, with Cole Anthony and Fultz, why not pick a forward line? Having chosen Hezonia and Bamba, who have proven their training failures, are they now going to plague a defender?
From the preseason, Sargas played a lot of fun, and the lack of magical vision and effective attack made him look like he was struggling. The team's new season under the leadership of the new coach Mosley should also be a defeat and a defeat, the results are secondary, the only thing to see is what kind of strange lineup the team will arrange, after all, the preseason three small and three have been used.
What to expect for the new season: Will Sargas be the most watery lotto show?
Forecast Rank: East 13-15
