It is clear at a glance! The Western Conference strength reordering in the 25-26 season: The Nuggets beat the heroes in one place!

On August 22, with the Golden State Warriors reaching oral agreements with Horford, Melton, Curry Jr., Payton Jr. and Brogdon, the Western Conference pattern in the new season is clear at a glance! In this offseason, from the player market to the draft, in addition to the defending champion Thunder, most of the competitive teams in the Western Conference last season had lineup changes. The overall competition in the Western Conference is very different. The new season has only two months left. At this time point, it is difficult to have big player transactions happen. It is time to re-arrange the strength of the Western Conference: the Nuggets beat the unique position of the champions!

The bottom running gear: Jazz, Pelicans, Trail Blazers, Kings!

The four teams, including Jazz, Pelicans, Trail Blazers and Kings, will definitely be at the bottom of the West in the new season. None of these teams have constructive trading or draft operations during the offseason! In the highly competitive Western Conference, the gap in strength between these four teams and other Western Conference teams has been further widened. The biggest highlight of these four teams is on Yang Hansen. As the third highest draft pick in my country's history, what performance he can perform is highly watched and expected!

The playoffs are hard to achieve: Spurs, Suns, Grizzlies!

Spurs: From the perspective of lineup, the Spurs have already taken the road of rising like the Thunder and Rockets, but Wenban Yama has officially started his third personal career. Even after the Thunder exchanged George for Alexander, they waited for 4 seasons to become the top team in the West. In addition to Wenban Yama, there is also Fox in the Spurs lineup. Harper, who was selected in the draft, needs time to inspect the goods. If the Spurs want to become the top Western Conference team, they have to wait at least 1-2 seasons. The Spurs' goal in the new season is the playoffs, and they even have the hope of entering the playoffs under the premise of performing well!

Suns: Durant was sent away in the offseason, Bill was cut, Booker was the first core, Jaylen Green, Dillon, and Ma Wei, and Maruach and Fleming were selected! Coupled with the original puzzle players such as Dunn, Allen, Richard, Iguodaro, etc., the lineup has been rationalized, younger, and balanced offense and defense. The team's strength is obviously much stronger than last season. They will be strong contenders in the Western Conference Playoffs in the new season!

Grizzlies: I've sent Bain away, this deal may cost the Grizzlies a heavy price for many years to come. Whether it is offensive and defensive efficiency or game influence, Bain is the team's well-deserved number one core on the outside. Morant's professional cultivation, attendance rate, and defensive ability cannot be compared with Bain. His only advantage is his offensive talent! Whether it is basic data or high-level offense and defense data, this fact has been verified! 1 to 7 seems exaggerated, but the Grizzlies really don’t get really valuable resources, and Pope has fallen into an ordinary player. Fortunately, I got Jerome, which supplemented the outside firepower to a certain extent. The biggest hidden danger of this team is that there is no big brother who can guard the locker room, which is too easy to break out of locker room problems. Combined with the glass attributes of Morant and GG Jackson, it is difficult to achieve success in the new season!

Strong teams in the playoffs: Timberwolves, Lakers!

Timberwolves: They have reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, which has a certain amount of luck, but it is undeniable that they are a strong Western Conference team and have the strength to disrupt the playoffs. This offseason, the Timberwolves adhered to the strategy of saving expenses and let go of the core substitute - Alexander Walker. There was no player with rotation skills in the players' market. They only selected two centers, Belange and Zikaski, in the draft. They don't know what the use of stacking up so many centers. Is this to prepare for letting Gobert go? But no matter what, this team has not lost the core of Edwards + Randall + Gobert + McDaniels + Reed + Divinchenzo. Judging from the operation of the management, they will pin their hopes on young people such as Shannon, Dillingham, Belange, and Heyland in the new season!

Lakers: This offseason, the Lakers exchanged DFS for Ayton + Laravia + Smart. Putting aside objective factors, the Lakers' operation is definitely S-level, but basketball operations must always be viewed dialectically in combination with objective factors! What this Lakers need is an inside frame guard who can defend, have the ability to eat cake, and does not occupy the ball, but these are not what Ayton is good at. No one can guarantee Smart's health problems. Laravia is a good 3D forward, but he is not as good as DFS in any case. The most important thing is that James is still trying to compete with Doncic for control of the team throughout the offseason. Who can guarantee that the locker room problem will not break out? The Lakers are ranked in this level because they scored third in the Western Conference last season!

Strong competitors to the championship: Thunder, Rockets, Clippers, Mavericks, Warriors!

Thunder: The defending champion retained all the core lineups during the offseason and renewed the new version of the Three Young Masters' ambition to win three consecutive championships. However, judging from the playoff process last season, their final victory for 40% of the opponent's injuries. Whether facing the Nuggets or the Pacers, the Thunder did not play enough dominance, and there is a clear gap compared to last year's Celtics. But they are young and have enough room to grow, and they only have one goal in the new season!

Rockets: In Durant's trading negotiations, the Rockets won and did not lose any future assets they like, even Shepard! This is the most successful aspect of the Rockets this offseason! After getting the three major forwards of Durant, DFS and Okogi, Uduka created the strongest forward combination in NBA history. Is he going to create a new trend or a useless lineup? The answer will be given in the near future.. The Rockets scored second in the Western Conference last season, and now they have Durant, DFS, and Capela, solving the problem of scoring in the positional battle. There is no reason not to be optimistic about them!

Clippers: Don't say that the Clippers' lineup is old, but I still remember the championship that the Mavericks won in the Heat Big Three in 2010. At that time, their average age was over 30 years old. Most of the players retired at the age of 35. Now with the development of the times and medical care, players still have peak strength at the age of 35! During the offseason, the Clippers not only achieved optimization of the lineup structure, but the most important signing was to sign Paul, which not only relieves Harden's organizational pressure on the court, but also makes up for the shortcomings of Tyron Lue's coaching ability. As long as Leonard is healthy, they have the ability to overturn any team!

Mavericks: Go and check out the lineup of this team. After getting Flag and Russell, their substitute lineups have the ability to start (Russell, Martin, Christie, PJ Washington, Gafford). The most rare thing is that their lineup is not piled up randomly, but ensures the depth of the lineup in each position. Reports in all aspects show that Irving's recovery is far beyond expectations and can return to the arena in January. The Mavericks in the new season are a championship-level team!

Warriors: Kumingga's farce should be over. Horford, Melton, Curry Jr., Payton Jr., and Brogdon are sure to join. There is no need to say more about what Horford, Melton, Curry Jr., and Brogdon can bring to this team. Horford and Melton are top puzzle players with both offense and defense, and under the Warriors' pass and cut system, they can play a role of 1+1>2. Curry Jr.'s first three-point shooting percentage in the league last season gave the team a stable three-pointer on the bench. This lineup is enough for Curry, Butler and Green to win the championship!

The unique level: Nuggets!

In the past two seasons, Jokic, who is at the bottom of the league in depth, has done something in the playoffs. I believe that all the friends who have watched the game know it well. This offseason was made with Cameron Johnson (18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.4 blocks) to replace Porter Jr. (18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.5 blocks), and Valan (8.7 points, 7 rebounds, 1.8 assists), Hardaway Jr. (11 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists), and Bruce Brown (8.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists) Jokic's substitute + lineup depth has been solved at one time. What's even more terrifying is that in addition to Jokic and Murray's consistent stable performance, Allen Gordon has been polishing his skills. Last season, both three-pointers and performance at critical moments were among the top power forwards in the league. This is the terrifying thing about this team. After the offseason, even the Thunder will stand backwards, and the Nuggets are the only ones! Friends who have different opinions are welcome to leave a message to discuss!
