On August 22, the NBA entered the offseason. The famous media The Athletic announced the NBA team strength rankings in the new season, among which the Thunder, Knicks and Cavaliers are the top three, the Rockets are the sixth place, the Warriors are the nineth place, and the Lakers are the 11th place. The specific rankings of the 30 teams announced by TA are as follows:

No. 11 to 20: Lakers, Bucks, Hawks, Grizzlies, Pacers, Celtics, 76ers, Heat, Mavericks, Spurs.

No. 21 to 30: Kings, Bulls, Raptors, Trail Blazers, Suns, Pelicans, Hornets, Jazz, Wizards, Nets.

The Thunder were the champion team last season. They successfully retained the winning team this summer and completed a contract renewal with stars such as Alexander. They are still regarded as the biggest favorite to win the championship in the new season. The Knicks changed their head coach this summer, which made them optimistic and took a step further. The Cavaliers continue to recruit soldiers this summer. Considering that the overall competitive pressure in the East is not high, the Cavaliers' prospects for the new season are still optimistic. The Nuggets are one of the winners this summer. They sent Porter away and welcomed Johnson and signed Brown back, with Jokic having more powerful helpers around him. The Rockets are the biggest winners this summer. They first got Durant through trades, and then signed powerful players such as Finney Smith and Capela in succession. They are already seen as the number one favorite team to challenge the Thunder. Among other teams, the Clippers also made multiple signings this summer. The Warriors are the only team that has no operations so far, but they are still optimistic that they can rank in the top 10. The Lakers also took action this summer, signing powerful players such as Ayton and Smart.
