ESPN s East-West Team Division in the New Season: Chuanhu Yong is both in the third level, and the third team enters the first level
1:03pm, 10 July 2025【Basketball】
On July 10, ESPN announced the division of eastern and western teams for the new NBA season, based on the current strength of each team. In the Western Conference, the Thunder are ranked first alone, the Rockets, the Nuggets and the Timberwolves are ranked second, and the Clippers, Lakers, Warriors and Mavericks are ranked third. In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers and the Knicks tied for the first place. The following are the specific divisions and brief analysis of the east and west parts.
The Western Conference is divided into five levels -
The first level: Thunder; 2nd level: Rockets, Nuggets, Timberwolves; 3rd level: Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, Mavericks; 4th level: Grizzlies, Spurs, Trail Blazers; 5th level: Kings, Suns, Pelicans, Jazz.
Thunder's lineup is stable and has the ability to defend the title. He is ranked in the first place alone, and is the undisputed number one hottest. The second gear is three teams that are regarded as having the ability to win the championship. Durant's arrival is expected to solve the Rockets' offensive shortcomings. The Nuggets signed Bruce Brown back, and also introduced Valan and Hardaway Jr., and their bench strength has been significantly improved. The Timberwolves keep Reed and Randall, and they have entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.
The third level is considered a veteran strong team. ESPN believes that the Clippers are a team that could have entered the second level, but this team has a relatively prominent aging problem and has potential injuries. The Lakers owned Doncic and James, and also introduced Ayton, but lost Finney Smith. The Warriors have no action during the offseason, and they still need to deal with Kumingga's question and wait for Horford's answer. The Mavericks’ question is that Irving is missing. Are their organizational capabilities sufficient? Even if he signed Russell.
The fourth gear is considered a young and eager team, including the Grizzlies, Spurs and the Trail Blazers. There is no need to elaborate on the strength of the Grizzlies and the Spurs. The Trail Blazers also have signs of rising up. How far can Yang Hansen and the young people in the team go under the leadership of Holiday? The fifth tier is a team with unknown future plans, whether it is the Kings, Suns, Pelicans and Jazz, which are not optimistic.
Eastern Conference is divided into six levels -
First level: Cavaliers and Knicks; Second level: Magic, Hawks, 76ers; Third level: Celtics, Pistons, Bucks; Fourth level: Pacers; Fifth level: Heat, Bulls, Raptors; Sixth level: Hornets, Wizards, Nets.
Lillard, Tatum, and Halliburton's Achilles tendon injuries changed the pattern in the east. The first level is a team that fails even if it fails to enter the finals, including the Cavaliers and the Knicks. The two teams have a well-rounded lineup and should have been highly expected. The second gear is a team on the verge of impact after strengthening. The Magic and Hawks' lineup strength has been significantly improved. The 76ers' strength cannot be underestimated after getting rid of injuries, and a Tanhua show like Edgecomb has been added.
The third level is a certain strength, but is not among the absolute strong teams, including the Celtics who reorganized the lineup, the newly rising dark horse Pistons, and the Bucks who have been in the first round for three consecutive years. The fourth gear can only be considered a mid-range team. Harry was reimbursed for the season and Turner left the team, the Pacers, who no longer had the strength of last season.
The fifth tier is considered to be a team that is expected to participate in the playoffs, including the Heat, Bulls and Raptors, and it is difficult for them to go straight to the playoffs. The sixth gear is the worst Eastern Conference team, and there should be no controversy between the Hornets, Wizards and Nets.
