Next season, the top six in the Western Conference are probably not going to be in trouble with the Lakers or Warriors

The trading market has only been open for two days, and the lineups of each team have been almost adjusted. It is time to blindly guess the ranking of the top six in the Western Conference next season, but I feel that the two traffic teams, the Lakers and the Warriors, probably have no chance!

No. 1: Thunder

This is nothing to say. All the winning teams have been retained. The confidence will only be greater next season and the combat effectiveness will only increase. As long as there are no major injuries, the Thunder is still the largest boss in the league. The Celtics in the Eastern Conference directly dismantled the team. As long as the Thunder continues to maintain the first place in the Western Conference, there is still a great hope of defending the title.

Second place: Rockets

If you want to say that the Rockets will definitely win this offseason, Stone made various crazy operations and spent 214 million yuan in half a month. Durant's arrival completely solved the key ball problem, and the Rockets are definitely the strongest team in the league's forward line, no doubt about it. He has all kinds of good defense forward players in Durant, Amen, Ethan, Smith Jr., and Fanny Smith. The center resources are also top-notch in the league, including Shin Kyung, Adams and Capela.

The Rockets really want anything next season. If they get old cannon to play as a substitute point guard, they will definitely compete with the Thunder.

Anyway, the paper strength is definitely the second most powerful, it depends on the actual combat.

Third place: Nuggets

The Nuggets make a fortune this offseason. Look at the new general manager's operations, you can definitely become a god. First, he got rid of Porter Jr.'s big contract in exchange for Johnson, a 3D player, and saved 40 million in luxury tax without declining his strength. Then he used Saric as a scrap and the Kings to exchange Valancius, and Jokic had always been thinking about the substitute center.

Just when everyone criticized the Nuggets for their weak substitute lineup, they signed Brown back in one year, and it was not over yet. One year, they signed Hardaway Jr., and the substitute lineup also took shape.

It feels like the Nuggets have entered the first echelon and may be able to surpass the Rockets.

Fourth place: Mavericks

A team that should not be underestimated next season is not to say how strong Flag is, should Davis prove himself and hit the Lakers in the face? The team is definitely talented, with three No. 1 picks, Garrassel, one second pick, and Gafford, Lefley, Clay, and PJ Washington. As long as Irving comes back, the Mavericks will definitely have the power to fight.

And there is also a new No. 1 pick Flag, the only thing he is worried about is the health of Thick Eyebrow. As long as the Mavericks coach is, he will definitely be in the top four.

Fifth place: Timberwolves' core lineup has not changed, so their strength will not change much. On the contrary, Huazi should go further. After being eliminated in the playoffs, Huazi said: "No one will work harder than me in the offseason."

6th place: Clippers

Although the Clippers didn't make much noise in the offseason, they just signed Daluo, but they have a healthy little card next season, which is really not easy. Xiaoka said during an interview: "This is my first offseason in five years, not in injury. I can finally formulate some training plans this year's offseason."

With Harden's bottom-up ability, it's not a big problem to compete for the playoffs.

Finally, I signed Old Paul as a substitute point guard, which was perfect!

The Lakers and Warriors are likely to be seventh and eighth. There is no movement between these two teams so far. The Lakers have always lacked centers, but they have not gotten one of them now. The Warriors are similar and lack centers, and Cuminga's stay or not is an unknown. Instead, Looney left, and Payton Jr. is probably leaving. But the strength of these two teams is still there. The Warriors have Curry + Butler + Green, and the Lakers have Doncic + James, so it's okay to compete for seventh and eighth.

and the Spurs, which will definitely not be easy to mess with next season, and Wenban + Fox should not be underestimated, so the West is still very competitive, and maybe it will be another play-off story.

Of course, next season, there is another team we must pay attention to, that is, the Trail Blazers, and we must look at Yang Hansen's growth. But the team's strength is in that it is highly likely to continue to rebuild, it depends on whether there is a possibility of competing for the playoffs! How about

? This ranking should be not controversial, right?
