Next season's 8 league giants: the Lone Ranger Lakers quietly upgraded, and the Warriors Green Army tried crazy!
With the offseason on, quite a few teams have done great work since the free agency opened, and of course there are teams that don't look good. Judging from the offseason operation, there are only a few teams that will inevitably become the league's top powers next season, like this season's championship Nuggets, who did not bring in any outstanding players in the offseason and even lost a few good blue-collar workers, but the core team is still there, and they are still the favorites.
Today we will mainly talk about several giants in the league next season, but like the Nuggets, let's not talk about it, after all, they are championships, and everyone is familiar with their roster strength, in addition, the overall runner-up Heat does not say, after all, the operation of the Heat has not really been completed, if they trade to get Lillard, the team must be a top team has a chance to rush to the championship. Next, let's talk about some of the giants in the free market that have made big changes.
The warriors try like crazy
The Warriors chose to give up Poole after the start of the offseason, traded Poole to the Wizards in exchange for Paul, the Warriors did this for two reasons, on the one hand, they can't both seize the present and seize the future, they want to rush around Curry to the championship can not continue to develop young players, but to win the immediate combat power, although Paul is old, but in terms of experience and ball handling is obviously better than Poole, and secondly, Poole and Dreaming have contradictions, which is also a key to the Warriors' loss this season.
In addition to completing the deal, the Warriors renewed Dream Green and took Sharic, who is a very good space-based interior lineman, and he has some ability to respond and can help the team on the bench as an interior rotation, plus the five cores of Curry, Klay, Dream, Wiggins and Rooney remain on the team, which guarantees them the lower limit, and now the Warriors roster has reached 13 people, there are two more rosters, and if you sign two more, Then the Warriors' salary plus the luxury tax will reach 400 million next season, the first team in history with a salary of 400 million.
The future of the Celtic is uncertain
The Celtics have been looking for deficiencies to change in the past two seasons, but the effect is not good, losing the Finals last year because of the lack of bench firepower, so they took Brogdon, although the bench firepower came up, but the team lacked players in control, so they were eliminated by the Heat in the playoffs, thinking they would go to find a suitable point guard, but the team first strengthened the lack of interior killing ability, and got Porzingis by trading Smart.
And the Celtics have also won several second-round picks through several trades, we won't say much here, they did this to prepare for next season's mid-season trade, the team has Brown, Tatum for this team bottom floor, plus a space ability excellent Porzingis, as well as Horford, White, Lowe these excellent blue collars, the team's roster strength is still very good, although after winning Porzingis their paper strength is stronger, but the Celtics' defensive system seems to have disappeared, Whether they can reach the heights of the season next season depends on the chemistry.
The Lakers quietly stepped up
The Lakers were very wise after the start of the offseason, the team did not try to win top stars, and by reaching the division finals around Jamei this season also shows that their previous way of building the team was right, not to try the Big Three again, and the Lakers still formed the current roster after the trade deadline, so it is good to be able to reach the division finals, and the Lakers also left Russell, Rivers and Hachimura after the offseason.
It can be said that they were the key to the team's division finals last season in addition to James, although they lost Schroder and Walker, but they won the Heat's starting point guard Vincent, his ball handling ability and space ability are very good, the team also introduced forwards Reddish and Prince, the two space ability is also very good and defensive, plus the team introduced Hayes to release thick eyebrows back to the No. 4 position, the team increased height, and the team is younger and better, which also increases the impact of the team, Core players also remained in the squad, which also guaranteed the lower limit of the team.
Solar Galaxy Battleship
The Suns can fully describe their current roster with the Galaxy battleship, the team's new owner is indeed bold, they sent Paul in the offseason for Beal, after taking Beal, they formed the three cores of Booker + Beal + Durant, all three are one of the strongest singles players in the same position, Vogel can even arrange any offensive tactics, because they can solve offensive problems with 48 minutes of singles.
However, defense may become a hidden danger for them, because the team's four cores lock up salary space, which also makes it difficult for the Suns to bring in suitable stars, but they renewed Orkogi and took Gordon, which is the guarantee of their defense, Vogel is a defensive coach, he has always hoped to develop Ayton into a top gate, if you can really develop Ayton to this extent, then the Suns are definitely worth looking forward to in the new season, the last team similar to them is Harden, Irving and Durant's Nets, This team was ruined by injuries and the dressing room, otherwise it would have won the championship long ago.
The Bucks set sail again
The Bucks were not discouraged after they were blacked out in the playoffs, and the team was still committed to strengthening and retaining the core team in the offseason, the team added space in the offseason, they took Malik Beasley and AJ Griffin off the bench, in addition to the team also re-signed Crowder, Middleton and Da Lopez, Middleton cut his salary for 3 years and 93 million to renew his contract, which is also the key for the Bucks to keep Da Lo and Crowder.
Now the Bucks still retain their core lineup letter + Middleton + Holiday's three cores, plus Da Luo, Portis, Crowder these excellent blue-collar assistance, they are still very strong, but this season the Bucks changed the coach, from Budenholzer to Adrian Griffin, his ability is still unknown, in addition, if the alphabet brother can not solve the problem of their own projection ability, it is difficult for the Bucks to achieve the championship, However, retaining the core lineup must also be an opponent that many strong teams do not want to meet.
Grizzly Experience upgraded
The Grizzlies have played well in the regular season for the past two years, finishing second in their division, only to lose to the Warriors and Lakers in the playoffs due to lack of execution and inexperience. The talent of this team is great, and they may be able to reach the heights of the Thunder, or be as successful as the Nuggets are now, but only if they can better control the pace of the game.
In order to improve the team, they participated in the trade between Porzingis and Smart, the team took Smart, he was the best defensive player in 22 years, JJJ was the best defensive player in 23 years, the two supported the team's defensive system inside and out, and Morant and Bane on the offensive end, the Grizzlies also took great pains to get Morant on the right track, they signed Rose to coach Morant, and Ross still has oil in the tank, he can help the Grizzlies, although the Grizzlies seem to be just minor repairs, But their deal may be the most suitable.
The Lone Ranger works perfectly
After the Lone Rangers arrived in the offseason, they intended to create a suitable championship lineup for Doncic, and it turned out that they also made an effort, and in the absence of big stars in free agency, they left the biggest Irving, a 3-year contract, although Irving is a time bomb, but the 3-year period is not long, the team dumped the junk contract Bertans, got Holmes, and took the Celtics' big gate Gway.
Gwee is very good at defending scorers who are known for their strength, Alphabet, Leonard and James have all suffered in his hands, and his space ability is also good, the team also took Seth Curry off the bench, which also increased their bench competitiveness, and the team also renewed Powell's contract, their roster thickness is still very good, with two stars with excellent singles ability, such a team as long as the defense is good enough, the ceiling is worth looking forward to.
Speaking of which, what do you have to say about these teams? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
