After 17 trading days! The strength of the Western Conference is clear at a glance: 5 teams S-level, 3 teams A-level!

On July 17, since the trading market opened on July 1, 17 trading days have passed since the free market, and the trading and signing that affect the NBA pattern have basically ended! This offseason, the Western Conference went crazy. After a series of operations, there were more championship (S-level) teams! So at this stage, let’s divide the ranks based on the strength of each Western team:

C level (bottom-level): Jazz, Trail Blazers, Pelicans!

Jazz: This offseason, the Jazz sent away three core cores, Collins, Sexton and Clarkson, and only got the bench end players such as Nurkic, Love, and Li Kaile. The team's intention to play badly is obvious. It is difficult to make a difference in the West in the new season!

Trail Blazers: After trading Simmons and cutting Ayton, it has already announced that this team has given up this season. 26 years is a recognized year of draft picks. Their goal this season is to train and train young people, especially after choosing Yang Hansen, this team has turned its attention to the future!

Pelicans: Replacing CJ with Poole is equivalent to changing soup without changing medicine! If this team wants to really make waves in the West, it depends on whether the 25-year-old Zion can get rid of the injury. As long as he cannot guarantee his attendance rate, his record will not be improved. Looking at Zion's health in the future + the operation of the team's management is indispensable. Judging from the operation of this offseason, at least next season, the Pelicans are destined to be the bottom-level team in the West!

B (playoff level): Lakers, Grizzlies, Kings, Suns!

Lakers: The Lakers lost forward player DFS and got Ayton in the offseason! The team lost the only 3D player with outstanding defensive ability on the front line. Although getting Ayton allows the team to have a qualified starting center, do you dare to imagine the defense of five starting lines in the new season: Ayton, Hachimura Shizuo, James, Rivers, and Doncic? Moreover, James and the Lakers management have not had a happy relationship with the renewal. The team has clearly determined to build a team around Doncic. James is already in a rift and there is a possibility of locker room problems in the new season. Whether from the perspective of the lineup or the locker room, the Lakers will only be a playoff-level team next season!

Grizzlies: The Grizzlies sent Bain away, got Pope, and signed Landale. From the lineup perspective, the team lost the number one scorer on the outside and only got Pope, a 3D player who had a serious decline last season. Their overall strength is definitely not as good as last season. But this team's basic set is still there. If Morant can play well and cooperate with JJ Jackson, Aldama and other good players, if Pope can play the right level, this team will not have a chance to make the playoffs!

Kings: The operation of this team is one of the worst teams in NBA history. Last season, he sent Fox away and fired the meritorious head coach. In the offseason, he made an outrageous deal to trade Valan for Saric, and let go of young 3D Laravia! But no matter what, this team also has four All-Star players: Sa Sak, DeRozan, Raven and Keegan Murray, and it is not difficult to compete in the playoffs!

A Class (playoff disruption): Timberwolves, Warriors, Spurs!

Timberwolves: They have reached the Western Conference Finals in the last two seasons. The Timberwolves team is very strange. They are not favored every year, but they are all lucky. They meet the "Paper Tiger" in the first round of this season and easily advances. They face the Warriors in the second round, but Curry only played for one and a half quarter! Say they are weak teams, they have entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, and say they are strong teams, and the team's shortcomings are very obvious! There were no players signing in during the offseason, and only Randall and Reed successively retained the three-tower lineup and lost important substitute Walker. The team's strength has declined. The new season is still a playoff-split team!

Warriors: 17 trading days have passed, and the Golden State Warriors have no winnings, and no transactions have been signed. The team lost the hero of the championship center Rooney. The No. 5 position itself is a weak lineup, and it has been further expanded. But as long as Curry, Butler and Zhu Meng can play on the court, even if they are one year older, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated in the playoffs. The premise is to ensure health. Under Cole's system, the consumption of the regular season on veterans will be reduced.

Spurs: Wenbanyama has just announced that it has completely escaped from the trouble of thrombosis injuries. In the offseason, the Spurs have obtained two substitute centers, Cornet and Olynick, focusing on reducing pressure on Wenbanyama. This young team is expected to become another youth team in the West with the Thunder and Rockets rapidly improving.. The dual core of Wenban Yama + Fox, combined with the second-tier Harper who is both offense and defense, and young talents such as Castle, Vassel, and Sohan are one year older, and veteran Barnes is in charge. This team will play the role of the strongest dark horse in the West in the new season!

S-class (champion level): Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets, Clippers, Mavericks!

Thunder: From the moment they won the championship trophy, the Thunder was the defending champion. The team successively signed up for Alexander, Jaylenway and Chett. There were no important players missing. They were determined to establish a three-game winning dynasty and a championship-level team!

Nuggets: Sending out Porter Jr. in exchange for Johnson, signing Bruce Brown and Hardaway Jr., and also dealing with Valan's problems. From the lineup perspective, the problem that has plagued the Nuggets for many years (Jokic substitute + lineup depth). The lineup is the best season for Jokic's Nuggets' career lineup depth. It is worth mentioning that the Nuggets still have a 1,410,000-dollar middle class special case available. The only goal of this Nuggets in the new season is the championship!

Rockets: retained the core lineup of Amen + Ethan + Xiao Jia + Shen Jing + Van Jordan, replaced Jaylen Green and Dillon with Durant + DFS, and also signed Capela, with no other goal except to win the championship!

Clippers: Getting Collins not only gave the team a qualified No. 4 position, but the most important thing is to bring Ka back to the familiar No. 3 position. Harden has never been matched with two empty contacts in his career, which will further amplify Harden's pass threat. Now Bill officially announced his joining, filling the vacancy left by Powell. The most important thing is that the team only spent 1,100w for 2 years. Zubac, Collins, Kat Jr., Bill, Harden, Daluo, Batum, Jones Jr., Dunn, Bogdan, this lineup brings all the elements of the championship!

Mavericks: So far, the biggest reinforcement for the Mavericks is signing Russell and choosing Flag! But this is enough. Irving's injury recovery exceeded expectations. This team should have done something last season, but it was completely destroyed by injuries. As long as the lineup is healthy in the new season, they will be opponents that no one in the Western Conference dares to underestimate. In short, the overall strength of the West in the new season has been fully upgraded. Anyone who wants to break out of the West next season will have to lose a layer of skin, but this is a good thing for fans, and the game is even better!
