There are only 8 teams with the championship next season: Lakers Warriors are not qualified, and the 6 Western Conference teams are on the list

At August 6, since the offseason, the main operations of each team have been completed. Unless the letters force the palace, there will be no major deals. Under such circumstances, the strength of each team is basically determined. Now the Warriors and the Lakers obviously do not have the ability to win the championship. The Lakers' backcourt defense is still poor. The Warriors have strengthened 0, and they have lost Rooney and Payton Jr. The three-core teams have one year older in the new season. In this case, there are only 8 teams with the ability to win the championship.

Cavs

Cavs originally planned to break up their quad cores in the offseason, but because the Celtics and Pacers fell, the Cavaliers chose to continue building a team around their quad cores. If the Cavaliers hadn't been injured last season, they might have had a chance to break out of the East. Now they have a greater chance. In order to strengthen the team's shortcomings, the team introduced Ball Brother, who can make up for the Cavaliers' backcourt defense problem and also won Nance, so that he can partner with Mobley to speed up the team's lineup, and the Cavaliers' defense is stronger than before.

Knicks

Knicks also retained their core lineup. In fact, if it weren't for lack of physical fitness, they could defeat the Pacers. In the offseason, the Knicks were also well aware of their shortcomings. They focused on strengthening the bench and defeating Clarkson and Yabussele. Clarkson is the top substitute firepower. Yabussele's space ability and defense are very reliable, and they can even replace Hart as the team's starting lineup, making the team better in body size and space firepower. With the quad cores of Brunson, Towns, OG and Bridge, they are stronger.

Thunder

As the defending champion, it is not surprising that the Thunder enters this list. Although all teams in the Western Conference are crazily hoarding the height of the inside and want to defeat the Thunder, the Thunder is not afraid. Their three-core actually won the championship before they really reached their peak. The Thunder's chemistry will be better in the new season. After experiencing the baptism of the finals, the Thunder's three-core will also increase the ball. In this case, the Thunder is stronger, and even if they can't compete in the inside, the team can make up for it through trades in the middle of the season.

Nuggets

Nuggets' operations in this offseason are perfect. They gave up Porter Jr. and got Cameron Johnson, Valan, Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown after a series of operations. The team has been strengthened in all aspects. Cameron Johnson makes the team's starting lineup stronger. Valan a center at the starting level becomes Jokic's substitute. Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown also improve the substitute firepower of the Nuggets. The Nuggets will still be one of the biggest obstacles on the Thunder's championship in the new season. The competition in the Western Conference is more intense next season than usual.

Rockets

Rockets are also one of the roadblocks for the Thunder's championship. The Rockets sent Jaylen Green away in this offseason. They waited for Green for 4 years but still did not meet expectations, in exchange for Durant, who has a more stable scoring ability. Although Durant is 36 years old, he is still the player with the highest singles efficiency in the league last season. Dillon left, but the team won Finney Smith to make up for it. Other cores are also in the team. The Rockets' defense will be very suffocating. This team has a stronger athletic ability than the Thunder, and it also has an advantage in terms of physicality, which is quite difficult to chew.

Clippers

Clippers have formed the Seniors Club, with an average age of 33.2 years old the oldest lineup in history. However, the Clippers' core lineup is still very good. Collins, Zubac, Jones and Dunn are all very young and can bring support to the team in athletic ability. Harden now has Bills around, and the team's offensive firepower will also be improved. In addition, Daluo and Lao Pao will lead the team on the bench. Their immediate combat power and experience can help the team. With such an excellent lineup, Leonard can easily paddle in the regular season. The Timberwolves are underestimated almost every year, but they will become opponents that all Western teams don’t want to meet almost every season. This team’s interior configuration is so good. Gobert, Randall and Reed can match their inside combination at will, and now they have also got Belange. With the combination of McDan and Huazi, the Timberwolves will still be a strong contender in the division finals. Of course, if Huazi can become a league super giant, they have great hope of winning the championship.

Mavericks

Mavericks If Irving does not come back, they will not reach this level, but Irving will come back around February next year. At that time, the Mavericks will be very terrifying. Their forward line is too outstanding, including Flag, Washington and Thick Eyebrow, Gafford and Rifty in the interior. The team's defense will be very outstanding, and Irving's hard-solving ability. Flag is a good addition to the Mavericks. They have the ability to wrestle with any team. This team can form two starting lineups, which is great.
