The probability of the championship is released, the Rockets are chasing the top, the only two teams in the East are the last hope

The NBA free agent market has been open for some time, and by this time, the reinforcement work of each team has been basically completed. Recently, the media also gave the latest team championship rankings. The specific order of the list is as follows:

8th place: Golden State Warriors

The Warriors proved that they still have the foundation of the league's old strong team in front of the young Rockets last season. However, the team has the highest salary in the highest salary, Stephen Curry, and Butler, a contract with an annual salary of over $50 million. This makes them very passive in the reinforcement of the free agent market this year, and no signing has been generated so far.

Fortunately, the Warriors still have this bargaining chip, and the team has already offered him a qualification offer of $7.9 million, so even if a team is interested in this 22-year-old forward star, they can only sign first and then exchange. In this way, the Warriors may be able to take the opportunity to strengthen. But as people often say, as long as Curry is still there, the Warriors have the possibility of defeating all opponents.

7th place: The Los Angeles Lakers' recent situation is somewhat similar to that of the Warriors. The team only needs to retain the lineup structure of Doncic, James and Rivers, so they are at least a playoff team. This summer, the team signed Laravia, who shot more than 40% of the three-point shooting percentage in the front line, and at the same time, he used 2 years and 16.6 million US dollars to win 18-year No. 1 pick Aiton. In terms of team talent, the Lakers are already completely enough. The most important thing is to see how far the team can go in the playoffs depends on how much defensive the Lakers players are.

Sixth place, Minnesota Timberwolves

Wolves' team goal this summer is to stabilize the core players in the team. At present, they are doing well, leaving Randall with $100 million in three years and Reed with $125 million in five years, making this team that had reached the Western Conference Finals last year still very competitive. The only regret is that the team let go of scorer Alexander Walker on the bench. However, Edwards, who is still in his growth stage, may tell everyone next season that this is not a problem.

Fifth place, Denver Nuggets

For the Nuggets, they had a very high chance of winning the cup last year. In seven games with the championship Thunder, Porter Jr., who was in a sluggish state and Gordon, affected by a hamstring injury, were ultimately unable to provide enough firepower for Jokic. Even if the teacher can get a data average of 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals per game, the team had no choice but to leave after 14 games.

, and Porter Jr., who was sluggish this year, replaced Cameron Johnson with better stability, and at the same time, he welcomed the 23-year champion Brown on the bench. Even though Valan has decided to go to Europe to play after the trade, the Nuggets currently have a middle-class exception of about $14 million and has not been used. Based on the current lineup that is stronger than last season, the team still has a good room for reinforcement, and the Nuggets' next season will be very bright.

4th and 3rd place, the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers are the only two Eastern teams on the list, and they are discussed together just because they have a lot of similarities. First of all, the cap space of these two teams no longer allows them to make big moves in the free agent market, and they are likely to maintain their lineup last season.

At the same time, the Knicks and the Cavaliers are relatively popular teams, and there are no superstars with great influence in the league. This will increase the possibility of accidents when the game is held at a critical moment.

The last two teams can be said to have taken advantage of the weaker dividends in the East. When the Celtics and the Pacers have main players who may be reimbursed due to injury, it is very likely that those two teams will stand on the stage of the finals if they can defeat each other. If they were placed in the West, these two teams might be only at the bottom.

second place, the Houston Rockets still managed to win 52 regular season games last year. The Rockets, which are already ranked second in the West, welcomed three strong players this summer, Durant, Finney Smith and Capela. The only positive asset that is really lost may be Dillon Brooks. After making up for the offensive firepower at critical moments and again improving the defensive hardness, the Rockets still set their sights on the championship trophy.

The first place, the story of the Oklahoma City Thunder's small town team winning the championship is inspiring, but the Thunder are also facing pressure from salary, operation and market feedback. Fortunately, the core lineup of Alexander, Chett and Jewish is young enough. As long as they stay healthy, they will be the top three on the league's strength list in recent years. Do you think the ranking of this list is reasonable? Welcome to like, follow, and leave a message to discuss!
