BR evaluates the operations of each team during the offseason: The Lakers are still losing money when they find bargains in daily life, and the Eastern Conference champion may collapse?

Every year, the free market boom has passed. After each team completes basic operations, except for our fans, the media and reporters will not let go of the popularity. Everyone hopes to create traffic and evaluate the management operations. If there is no problem, they will brag wildly, otherwise they will naturally be ridiculed.

Media BR evaluated the operation of various teams since the offseason, but the Los Angeles Lakers are still the loser in daily life. Eastern Conference champion Indiana Pacers may collapse directly in the new season, and the New Orleans Pelicans are also on the list.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers did not make drastic changes. Although winning DeAndre Aiton in the buyout market is a big gain for the Lakers, it does not seem to be so quenching. What's more, Lakers fans are not buying it because the competition situation in the West is becoming increasingly fierce. It is difficult to improve the Lakers' level with just these players. What's more, Finney Smith, the forward gate, was poached this summer. With the core lineup not too young and the players are facing the issue of contract renewal, their mentality will inevitably have an impact, and the Lakers' performance may be worse than last season.

Pacers are more unlucky because Teres Halliburton was seriously injured and the Pacers failed and missed the excellent opportunity to win the first championship trophy in team history. It is precisely for this reason that Teres Halliburton is likely to be reimbursed in the new season, and the Pacers management simply saves money and avoids taxes, allowing starting center Miles Turner to be poached by his archenemy Bucks. Even though the Pacers introduced Jay Khufu, the lineup depth was very good. In addition, the old coach Rick Carlisle was planning, the Pacers still had a good chance to get the playoff tickets, but there were two main players at once, so it would be no wonder to compete for the championship.

As for the New Orleans Pelicans, Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynick were not in the rotation lineup, and the only loss was CJ McCollum. But the Pelicans got Jordan Poole, introduced Kevin Rooney, Sadiq Bay and several rookies to fully increase the depth and vitality of the lineup. If Jordan Poole plays at the level of helping the Warriors win the championship next season, he and the Pelicans will be impressive and become a force that cannot be ignored in the West.
