A comment on NBA Western Conference teams in the 2025 offseason

This year's series has been a little advanced. It should be put before the regular season starts in September, and the reinforcements of each team will be settled before writing. I don't think there will be any major changes in this situation this year. In any case, let's get back to the point.

1. Thunder team

Comment: Spend money to keep people, all the Big Three renewed contracts have been completed, and there are two seasons left in the salary and dividend period. The Thunder will not be overwhelmed by the Big Three's maximum salary contract in the next two seasons. If you grasp these two seasons, the best situation is to establish a dynasty with three consecutive championships (you must dare to think, you have just done it). Next season, the Thunder will still be the top team at the league's pyramid, NBA Thanos.

2. Rockets

Comment: Durant's arrival has changed the Rockets' team attributes, from a rising youth army to a championship reserve team, signing with DFS, Capela, and Okogi. The only remaining shortcomings at the moment are the No. 2 position, and the lineup running-in problem of Amen who needs to play as a defender again. Having Durant is equivalent to possessing nuclear weapons. At the critical moment, the Rockets finally have deterrent power and look forward to taking a step further next season.

3, Lakers

Comment: The arrival of Ayton, Laravia and Smart seems to have made Lakers fans have a climax, but in fact they are still scraps that each team doesn't want. It's really a hot commodity. The Lakers can't get it in the past few seasons (everyone understands it). The Lakers are facing the embarrassing situation where the new king ascends the throne, but the old king still has the power to fight. Normally, the new king needs to kill the old king and win everyone's surrender. But what the Lakers want to do is wait for the old king to grow old naturally. The new king seamlessly connects seamlessly and does not launch a transaction directly. It may take a season to clear the old ministers and welcome a brand new Lakers, but the Lakers' remaining power is still there, and he will still have a place in the West next season.

4. Nuggets

Comment: The former Thanos led the team back, the lineup was upgraded, and a group of good players were recruited. Huang Zhong perfectly replaced Porter Jr., Valan strongly strengthened the Nuggets' inside line, and recalled the championship-winning hero Brown, and the outside player Hardaway. Looking at the entire league, the Nuggets' lineup makes people feel terrible. Just ask the Thunder if you are afraid.

5. Clippers

Comment: A group of elderly people reorganized the Galaxy Battleships in the Clippers, reminding me of the science fiction blockbuster in the US "Super Battleships". The weapons of the new generation were wiped out by aliens, and they could only win the final victory with the old antiques of World War II. This is the case with this lineup. There is no older one in the entire league, but fortunately, these elderly people still have enough energy and are not convinced of their old age. Maybe there is really a miracle.

6, Timberwolves

Comment: The offseason was thundering and raindrops were small, Gobert + Devin + Deering + No. 17 signing quote Durant failed, and he also lost his wing Walker. Although relying on the existing lineup and the growth of rookies such as Shannon and Dillingham, the Timberwolves' strength is still at the forefront of the West, but it seems that it will still be as unsatisfactory as last season. The Timberwolves' team is very bad. He said he has money, and he can send his own son away in order to save money. He said he has no money. He gave him a big deal and a big contract.

7, Warriors

Comment: The team that is quieter than the Timberwolves in the offseason is the Warriors. The Timberwolves have a loud thunder. The Warriors are holding it there and silently. The team's deposed Prince Kumingga has been entangled for several months and has not yet been finalized. Horford and Melton cannot sign. The Warriors fans are doing it. The team's boss is no longer young. What level is possible in the new season.

8, Grizzlies

Comment: This Grizzlies have felt cursed since they entered the Western Conference Final that year. They are holding guns and have a large-scale injury. 3J just signed a big contract to play a wild ball and still get injured for three months. In the offseason, he brought outside shooter Jerome from the Cavaliers and signed the inside substitute Landal, which is also a little reinforcement. Wells and GG are still developing well, giving people the feeling that the Grizzlies have little hope of making a comeback. It feels like the Cavaliers in the previous few seasons. They play every year in the playoffs, but it may take some opportunity to make a big splash. I don’t know if the newly signed head coach Ilosa can give the Grizzlies a comprehensive improvement like Atkinson.

9, Kings

Comment: In the offseason, Varan was sent to the Nuggets and Schroeder was signed. The king's fall was basically in progress. Laven and DeRozan did not seem to be a good match for Sabonis. In two seasons, the kings should be completely rebuilt.

10. Mavericks

Comment: The lineup of the three No. 1 picks made fans extremely excited. The defender also signed Russell, a mercenary, to temporarily replace Irving. The Mavericks' lineup depth looks very good. As long as Irving and Davis stay healthy (this is very, very important), Flag can play his expected strength. The Mavericks may become a dark horse in the West next season, but they must be healthy.

11, Suns

Comment: Finally, I dealt with Bill and Durant. At least the Suns don’t have to be the foolish sucker with a lot of money. Green and Dillon’s joining makes the Suns feel very embarrassed if they don’t go up or down. The lineup signed Ma Wei and selected Maruach in the offseason, and Richards, there is someone in the inside. O’Neal, Dunn and the villain Dillon are enough on the front line. The problem is that the team lost Jones and is still in a situation without a point guard. Booker, Green and Allen are not good at handling the ball. Just lie dormant. Before the sun rises, you have to go through the night..

12. Trail Blazers

Comment: Is there any team that is more lucky than the Trail Blazers? The selection of Yang Hansen ensured that the team will not lack fans, exposure, and sponsors within four years. At the same time, welcoming the team's soul, Lillard made the team's face profit. If Lillard returns from injury, he can be as good as last season's level, and the team's combat effectiveness can also be guaranteed. If Holiday can stay, he can even make an impact on the next playoffs. If Hellsen can do it, he will help him get on the position. If Hellsen doesn't, Klingen can also replace him.

13, Spurs

Comment: Choosing Harper makes the Spurs' future look quite anticipated. From Kaizi, Connett and Olynick can find two sword guards for Wenban. It is very important whether Wenban, who has returned from Shaolin Temple, can be renamed in the third season of his career, because almost all super giants, leading the team to play in the playoffs is the lowest threshold. He has never played in the playoffs in the rookie season. There are only two situations: either your own ability is not good or the team is not good. However, if you really have super potential and invincible combat power, NBA-level teams will also provide you with helpers to enter the playoffs. But the Spurs where Wenban is located is in the top three in the West in the past two seasons. Wenban's arrival has not brought qualitative changes to the Spurs' record, so there is no need to worry. The rookie contract is still two years away, and Curry has only entered the playoffs in the fourth season of his career.

14, Pelicans

Comment: I don't know where the Pelicans' future will be. In the offseason, two Warriors' players, Rooney + Pu'er, Zion's status in the team is neither like the boss nor the second. The team has so many forward lines, only Missy is the orthodox center. Not to mention that Quinn has a rough offensive method, he has undergone surgery and will need to be re-evaluated after three months. Murphy, Jones, and Murray are still recovering after surgery. It is not certain whether they can catch up with the opening match in the new season. The Pelicans urgently need a master of ZTE.

15, Jazz

Comment: The Jazz feels like it is in a dark and chaotic way. Anji's operation gives people a sense of being too smart. Marca's trading value has plummeted. In the offseason, she has won Pele, and she has sent Corinth to exchange for Li Kyle and Love, and Sexton to exchange for Nurkic. From an operational perspective, she is to send away all the players to support her. According to my understanding of Anji, these people are the main players in his subsequent trading operations. Anji may be holding up a big move, or she may give you a big shot.
