The five dark horses that may rise next season: The Hawks are terrifying in size, and the Spurs are gathering with talented monsters!

On September 4, during this offseason, the Celtics sent Holiday and Porzingis away, and they began to embark on the road of reconstruction. However, his reconstruction was only partial reconstruction. Because of Tatum's injury, they chose to stop. When Tatum returns, they will probably sign a team to strive for the championship again. In the 26-27 season, the Celtics will return to everyone's vision as a dark horse. Speaking of this, which teams will become dark horses next season? Let’s predict together.

Hawks

Hawks also want to make a desperate attempt this offseason. They have not achieved the desired results around Trae Yang in recent years. They want to believe Trae Yang for the last time. For this reason, the team did not renew the contract for Trae Yang. If the record is good, then we will continue to cooperate. If the game is not good, then we will each have their own safety. In order to achieve the record, the Hawks have also made good signings and strengthened the starting and substitutes.

They have introduced Porzingis, Alexander Walker and Kennard. The two behind are substitutes, and Porzingis is expected to enter the starting lineup. Their starting lineup is Trae Young at 1.85 meters, Daniels at 2.01 meters, Jaylen Johnson at 2.03 meters, Possus at 2.18 meters, and Okonwu at 2.08 meters. Except Trae Young, the other players are all good at the same position. This size and talent are probably disrupting the situation in the East. They were only eighth in the East last season, and it is estimated that they can reach the top four this time. The Spurs did not achieve a record last season, partly because the combination of Fox and Wenban did not find any chemistry. The two are probably more familiar with each other in the new season, and their cooperation will be more tacit. The second reason is Wenban's injury. Before Wenban was injured, the team was always a playoff team. Wenban will recover in the new season, and the team will have Castle and Harper. Will their backcourt be crowded?

Castle is 2.01 meters tall and can play No. 3 position, allowing Fox and Harper to start in the backcourt. They also have Wenban to support the defense. In fact, there is no need to worry about the defensive end. With Barnes, their lineup is also very good. In addition, there are Olynick and Connet on the bench. They may become centers and let Wenban play 4. Now the Spurs have more selective lineups. After all, there are Sohan, Kelden Johnson and Wassel, a group of talented players.

76ers

This team cannot be underestimated. If the Spurs have the chance to enter the Western Conference play-off next season, then the 76ers will have the ability to disrupt the situation in the East. It is true that the Celtics and the Pacers have fallen, but as long as the 76ers stay healthy, their strength is no worse than the Celtics and Pacers. This team fell to the bottom of the East due to injuries last season. If they stay healthy, they are not afraid of any strong team.

Embiid's top five players in the league, George is the top forward and very experienced. Maxi is now at the level of a star, as well as excellent 3D such as Grimes, as well as talented players such as Oubre and Edgecomb. Their lineup is thick enough to make them successful in the now weak East. Now the only real strong teams in the East are the Cavaliers and the Knicks, and the 76ers may become the third strong. Many fans probably overlooked the operation of the Hornets in this offseason, because their record has been bad in the past few years, so they are considered to be a bad team all year round. But to be honest, the team has done a good job this offseason. Their biggest problem is that the team's core three goals are easily injured, but the team won Dinwiddie and Sexton this summer. In this case, the Hornets also have more backcourt resources to make up for the lack of three goals.

In addition, the team also got an excellent shooter like Knypoor. Now the Hornets have a little Clay, which also gives them more choices on the offensive end. If they are both healthy enough, three goals and Miller will increase the ball, Bridges is very stable. In addition, Dinwiddie and Sexton are both good instant puzzles. They may have the opportunity to bring the Hornets to the playoffs, rather than the ranking at the bottom of the division.

Mavericks

The Mavericks failed to succeed last season, and the reason for their failure was more due to injuries, and they didn't even make the playoffs. After the new season began, Irving is likely to be absent for a while, but the team recruited Russell. He has worked with Davis for several seasons, so there is no problem with chemistry. The team also got Flagg, which also improved the Mavericks' talent, and he will improve the team on both offense and defense.

The Mavericks in the new season are one of the teams with the strongest forward line in the league. They also renewed their contract with Washington, plus Davis, Rifley and Gafford, and there are excellent puzzles such as Exam and the old and young on the bench. Although it is very difficult for the team to enter the Western Conference before Irving returns, it should still have this opportunity to enter the top eight of the Western Conference. When Irving returns, they have the ability to enter the playoffs.

Speaking of this, what do you want to say about these 5 teams? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
