CBS updated the strength list of 30 teams in the offseason: Thunder ranks first, Rockets 4th, Lakers 8th, Trail Blazers 21st

On July 4, the well-known US media CBS Sports updated the offseason NBA team strength list, and based on the current lineup, 30 teams were initially ranked. Last season's championship Thunder ranked first, earning Durant's Rockets fourth place. The Clippers ranked 7th, the Lakers ranked 8th, and the Warriors ranked 11th. The Trail Blazers who selected Yang Hansen ranked 21st. The following is a brief analysis of the specific rankings and related popular teams -

No. 1-10: 1. Thunder, 2. Cavaliers, 3. Knicks, 4. Rockets, 5. Nuggets, 6. Timberwolves, 7. Clippers, 8. Lakers, 9. Grizzlies, 10. Magic;

No. 11-20: 11. Warriors, 12. Pistons , 13. Celtics, 14. Hawks, 15.76ers, 16. Pacers, 17. Mavericks, 18. Bucks, 19. Spurs, 20. Heat;

No. 21-30: 21. Trail Blazers, 22. Bulls, 23. Kings, 24. Suns, 25. Pelicans, 26. Raptors, 27. Hornets, 28. Jazz, 29. Wizards, 30. Nets.

Thunder: It's so scary. The Thunder retained all key players in the championship season, and they also won the best record in the league last season. Their formula for success is clear: one end is a suffocating defense and the other end is Alexander's highlights. In addition, the Thunder also have players like Jaylen Williams and Homgren who are still on the rise, and Oklahoma City may even take a step further on the road to defending the title. All the league, I wish you good luck.

Rockets: The Rockets chose to attack decisively instead of waiting patiently, and the result was that Durant was wearing the Houston jersey. They also added powerful role players such as Finney Smith and Capela, and the lineup is still eye-catching even if they lose Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks. The Rockets' ceiling will depend on Durant's health and the continued growth of new stars such as Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson, but at present, they have all the elements to become real champion contenders.

Clippers: A disappointing playoff exit should not discourage Clippers fans, and they will still see a highly competitive team next season. Harden returned after a recovery season and Leonard was finally able to meet the offseason in a healthy state, which made him look forward to it. In addition, they signed Brooke Lopez and finally equipped Zubac with a qualified substitute center to fill the long-standing shortcomings. The depth of the Clippers looks very good, but the hidden dangers of injuries are always with them. Under the coaching of Tyron Lue, they should be at the top of the West and become a strong participant in the championship competition.

Lakers: James may be traded. The only important addition to the team on the wing position during the offseason is Laravia. And their starting center is now Ayton - the Trail Blazers even paid a money price to get rid of him. Such an offseason is obviously not satisfactory for a team that should have become one of the league's most deterrent teams with the combination of James and Doncic. Perhaps Ayton can reappear in 2021 - he helped the Suns almost win the championship that year, but judging from the current situation, this expectation is not realistic. Considering the talent of the top Western Conference teams, looking at the Lakers' weak depth besides these two stars and Austin Reeves, it is difficult to classify them into the same echelon.

Warriors: With Kumingga's restricted free agent status pending and news that Horford prefers to join, the Warriors may also be the team with the greatest potential offseason this season. Kumingga's plan to sign first and then change is said to have a bright future, which may bring the team one or two players who are more suitable for Cole's tactical system. If Horford finally signs, he will be Looney's upgrade, which also means that Green's playing time at the center position will be reduced. However, at present, everything is in a standstill until Kumingga’s problem is resolved.

Mavericks: Did the Mavericks win a deal related to Doncic? Well, it's too early to draw conclusions, but the future of this team is brighter in an instant when Flag walked past the stage at Barclays Center and put on the Mavericks' cap. Partnering Flagg with Davis and Thompson (who still had 39% of the three-point shooting percentage last season), plus Irving, who eventually returned from injury, this team is fully capable of causing trouble. During Irving's recovery, the Mavericks signed Russell as a reasonable replacement to control the offense, and Kidd has made a statement looking forward to seeing Flag as the main ball holder. In just a few months, the situation of this team has changed so much.

Spurs: No matter where he is redundant, the Spurs will likely make a huge leap after choosing Dylan Harper and partnering with Fox, Castle and Vinban Yama. The team's offense should quickly improve from the top ten last season's league, and Connet's joining should help the team maintain a solid defense while Vinban Yama rests. The Spurs will be the favorite for the "most progressive team" next season, and the reason behind this is obvious.

Trail Blazers: After a strong rebound at the end of last season, the Trail Blazers introduced Holiday, the much-needed "Town Team Treasure", and sent Anthony Simmons away - Considering the existence of Henderson and Sheden Sharp, Simmons appears to be overlapping to some extent. The Trail Blazers' lineup is already capable of striking a playoff spot, and they finally got rid of Ayton to free up inside playing time for Klingen, Robert Williams III and Yang Hansen. This team will definitely be full of highlights next season.
