Recently, ESPN collected survey results from 20 NBA league coaches, scouts and executives to evaluate the offseason operations, major awards in the new season, and some interesting topic discussions.
Championship prediction Thunder dominates the list, the Eastern Conference champion Cavaliers beat the Knicks
In the Eastern Conference championship selection, the Cavaliers won 9 votes to be ranked first, the Knicks got 7 votes, the Hawks got 2 votes to be ranked third, and the Bucks and Magic each got 1 vote. The Celtics sold in the summer, the 76ers plagued with injuries and the Eastern Conference champion Pacers were dismissed last season.
The Western Conference champion and championship voted for a while, the Thunder won 18 votes and the Nuggets won 2 votes. Everyone agreed that the Thunder will win the NBA championship again, and the only threat comes from the Nuggets. The Clippers and Rockets Lakers are ignored, and there is no team in the East that can match the Thunder.
The competition for regular season MVP is fierce
The voting of regular season MVP shows a situation of fighting with gods. Jokic won 7 votes with his comprehensive data performance; Alexander has won 5 votes with his team's record with his excellent scoring ability; Doncic, who has successfully lost weight, was recognized by four experts for his outstanding performance in the European Championship; Wenban Yama, who practiced in Shaolin Temple in the offseason, won 2 votes; Antetokounmpo and Edwards each received 1 vote.
Offs operation summary: The Hawks are the best, the Pelicans are the worst. In the topic of offseason operation summary, ESPN invited 20 experts to vote in the best and worst directions respectively. In the best-operating selection, the Eagles won 7 votes for the best-in-class trading, including the championship member Walker and other operations. The Nuggets won four votes and ranked second with Porter's replacement for Cameron Johnson, signing with Valan and other operations. The Rockets won three votes and ranked third with Green for Durant. Thunder and Magic each received 2 votes. Thunder renewed the contract with the Big Three with a high salary, maintaining the championship team for the next 3-5 years; Magic was due to the transaction, Bain formed the Big Three with a team. The Clippers traded to Collins during the offseason, and the signing of Bill, Paul and Dalow for strengthening was ignored by experts and only selected by one expert. The Los Angeles Brothers Lakers also received one vote. The team with the worst offseason operation, the Pelicans ranked first with 9 votes, and they continued to play badly in the offseason, and the trade left CJ. The Suns traded Durant, bought out Bill, and got 4 votes. The Kings have 2 votes, while the Lakers, Bulls, Grizzlies, 76ers and Trail Blazers each won 1 vote. It is weird enough that the Lakers won one vote in the best and worst operations.
Best Rookie and Best Rookie in 5 years Flag dominated the list
In the vote for the best rookie, No. 1 Flag won 19 votes. No. 4 pick Kang Knipur won the last vote with his performance in the summer league MVP. In addition, in the topic of "Who will be the best player in the 25th rookie in 5 years", Flagg once again received high recognition of 18 votes, with second-place Dylan Harper and No. 5 pick Es Bailey each winning one vote.
James's ownership is predicted next season. The Lakers may retire. In the voting for James' 26-27 season, 7 judges believed that James will still play for the Lakers. Five judges believed that James will retire. Four judges believed that James will return to his hometown to play for the Cavaliers for the third time. In addition, two judges believed that James would join the Warriors and partner with Curry. The Mavericks and Heat also received one vote respectively.
The Best Player in the United States, Curry won 11 votes, surpassing the All-Stars; Edwards won 8 votes, and Tatum won only one vote. In the selection of the best player in the United States five years later, Edwards won 11 votes and ranked first; No. 1 pick Flag won 5 votes, which shows the potential; Tatum won two votes, and Benchero and Jaylen Williams each won one vote.
