Detailed explanation of the prospect of the Lakers: The Suns are better than the Lakers in all aspects The warriors of the Lakers are in the most dangerous situation

As the three "traffic teams" of the NBA, especially the three league stars of Zhan Duku, the current three teams of the Lake and the Sun have not been able to reach the top four in the West, the youth team monopolizes the top four in the West, and the young forces want to seize the power?

Record comparison: The Suns have the best record so far

Suns: 9-6, fifth in the West, with the longest five-game winning streak of the season

Lakers: 9-7 and seventh in the West, 8 games and 6 wins to usher in a rebound

Warriors: 7-9, 11th in the West, 7-7 losses in 8 games

The Suns won the key game with the help of the double-win Warriors, and they are now on a team-longest five-game winning streak of the new season, improving their record to 9-6 and moving to fifth in the West with a 6-to-6 winning percentage. The Suns are only one win away from the Nuggets and Mavericks in front of them, and 2.5 wins away from the Timberwolves at the top of the West.

Although the Lakers missed the 20-point reversal and lost to the Mavericks, after swallowing a wave of 3 consecutive defeats, the Lakers have rebounded in the last 8 games with 6 wins and 2 losses, especially the two waves of 3 consecutive wins, and the Lakers' record is still 9-7 and seventh in the West. On the other hand, the Warriors were killed by the Suns, and only defeated the Rockets in the last 8 games and 7 losses, and their record has slipped to 7-9 and is only ranked 11th in the West.

Core Age: The average core age of the Sun is the youngest

Suns: Durant is 35, Booker is 27, Beal is 30

Lakers: James is about to turn 39, and Brother Bush is 30

Warriors: Curry is 35, Townsman is 33, Wiggins is 28, Paul is 38

Jandoku is still the face of the NBA, and they still refuse to "abdicate", even if the new generation of stars has launched fierce attacks again and again. It's just that the three teams led by Zhan Duku are also facing the impact of youth teams in the new season, and age has become an important factor restricting them, after all, Zhan Duku is over 35 years old.

As for the core age of the three teams of the Lake, Sun and Sun undoubtedly have an absolute advantage. Durant is the oldest at 35, Beal is 30, Booker is only 27 years old at his prime, and the Suns' Big Three average age is 30.6 years old, and they are the youngest team with the youngest average age of the core of the three teams.

The Lakers are both over 30 years old, of which James will be 39 years old in more than a month, and Brother Thick Mei is 30 years old, with an average age of 34.5 years old. The Warriors theoretically have a Big Five, Paul is 38 years old and Curry is 35 years old, Tang Shen and Dream are both 33 years old, Wiggins is the youngest at 28 years old, and the average age of the Big Five of the Warriors is 33.4 years old.

Core contract (including this season): The Suns are the most consistent

Suns: Durant Beal for 4 years, Booker for 5 years

Lakers: James 2 years, thick eyebrows 5 years

Warriors: Curry for 3 years, Wiggins for 4 years, and Paul for a contract year

The goal of the three teams this season is to win the championship, and once they fail to win the championship in the end, they can declare "season failure". It's just that there is a difference in the urgency of the three teams, the core of the Suns' Big Three all have at least 4 years of contracts, Durant and Beal have 4 years left on their contracts, and Booker still has 5 years of contracts, and they are likely to continue to be bound together to compete for championships in the next few seasons.

As for James with two years left on his contract, he can jump out of the player option next summer, but James will most likely not leave the Lakers. James's next contract is likely to have a certain connection with his son Bronny, after all, Bronny can participate in the NBA draft next year. With a three-year, $186 million contract extension this summer and as many as five years remaining, he will be the cornerstone of the Lakers' future.

The core of the Warriors, Curry, has 3 years left on his contract, and the Warriors are not a big problem at the end of the day, and Wiggins and Dream both have 4 years left on their contracts. However, Paul and Tang Shen are both in contract years, and if the Warriors fail to win the championship this year, there is a high probability that the two will leave the team.

Outlook for the season: The Suns are better off than the Lakers, and the Warriors are most likely to play in the playoffs

Although the Suns' Big Three have not yet officially contracted and the Suns were in a sinking position at the beginning of the season, the Suns are now getting better with a wave of five consecutive wins. Booker's comeback has been the key to the Suns' recovery, especially Booker's further upgrade to a two-way guard to make up for the team's No. 1 position after Paul's departure. The power of the combination of Durant and Booker is obvious to all, both are offensive and passing, and their adaptability has been proven.

Once Beal can return to the Big Three, after the run-in period, perhaps Beal will play more of a scoring guard, allowing Booker to take on more playmaking point guard duties, and they can also stagger the use of each other's offensive capabilities. The Suns' Big Three undoubtedly have an extremely desirable ceiling, especially their role player lineup, which is actually good, and the addition of Nurkic, Allen, Gordon and Yuki Watanabe has been improved, and the biggest hidden danger is how Vogel can improve the team's defense.

The Lakers qualified for the Western Conference finals last season and are aiming to take it one step further this season, and they upgraded their role roster this offseason. The Lakers' biggest problem at the moment is injuries, Vanderbilt and Vincent have been recovering from injuries for a long time, but the key sticking point of the season will be the health of the two cores of James. James is about to be 39 years old, and the thick eyebrows have always had "glass attributes", and once either of the two is injured and absent for a long time, it is likely to make the Lakers hopeless to compete for the championship.

As for the Warriors, there are many problems, the team's lineup is too dependent on the outside, and the lack of a strong interior line has led to them being repeatedly blown up inside, and Kerr is also extremely superstitious about the five-small lineup. As for Dream Green, who is currently in a five-game suspension, his personality issues will be a hidden danger for the Warriors, and Tang Shen's contract extension issue will also be a time bomb. The Warriors' young players are nowhere near what they would expect, and the Warriors could be the team with the worst prospects of the three and the team most likely to play in the play-in tournament.

As the "Sunset Team", especially the "Sunset Samurai", it remains to be seen whether they can continue to carry the banner of the older generation of stars this season, especially with a group of young teams to compete for the final O'Brien Cup.
