Forecast 5: Lakers ranked first in the Western Conference

suffered injuries in many core rotations, and suddenly secretly exchanged Davis for Doncic in the middle of the season. When the latter was in a significantly poor physical condition, the Lakers still won the third place in the Western Conference last season.

The Lakers have not completed any trading reinforcement so far since the offseason, but have significantly strengthened the market in the free and buyout market, and have successively introduced three high-quality new players Ayton, Smart and Laravia.

More importantly, Doncic gave up vacation and started training for the first time since entering the NBA, successfully completed a significant loss. As long as 40-year-old James can continue to maintain his form, the Lakers have hope of delivering surprising regular season performance.

Forecast 4: Wenban Yama won MVP

When Wenban Yama entered the league, he became a reasonable candidate for the next scene with his "unicorn" talent. In the first two seasons, Wenban Yama used his terrifying defensive influence to break the doubts and determined his super high lower limit.

As Fox gradually establishes a chemical reaction with Vampan Yama, and the Spurs have completed the inside reinforcement in the offseason, sharing the pressure of Vampan Yama, the Spurs are also expected to truly return to the playoffs.

In addition, a number of core rotations such as Van Jordan, JJ, Jeff Green have returned with high-quality contracts. The Rockets are ready to compete for the championship, and can also pack 5 first-round picks in one go to strengthen to ensure the competitiveness of the championship.

Forecast 2: The Grizzlies return to the top four

The Grizzlies are one of the most regrettable teams in the past five years. They once became the largest dark horse in the West, and Morant was even more supportive of the league and became a strong contender for the next storefront.

Helplessly, due to injuries and Morant's off-court factors, the Grizzlies missed their best growth time, and Morant is no longer regarded as a core superstar in the league.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies will recover their health in the new season, and have introduced strong players such as Pope and Jerome in the offseason. Coupled with the growth of a number of core young players, the Grizzlies have the hope of returning to the top four.

Forecast 1: The Thunder won two consecutive championships in a chaotic season, the young Thunder not only played dominant in the regular season, but also passed the game all the way and won the first championship in the team's history.

The Thunder completed contract renewal with core players in the offseason, and almost retained all core rotations after winning the championship. In addition, there are a large number of draft picks and trading chips in hand. The Thunder is expected to further improve the depth of the lineup in the new season.

What's even more terrifying is that the three core members of the Thunder are still very young, and they are likely to undergo transformation after experiencing the baptism of the finals. Therefore, the Thunder has the ability and capital to win two consecutive championships.
