The Rockets unfortunately lost the top spot! ESPN announced the offseason lineup value changes: Lakers No. 7 Warriors 22

The Rockets regretfully lost the top spot! As the new season begins officially approaches, the authoritative US media ESPN evaluates the existing lineup list of each team based on high-level data WAR (irreplaceable value) to announce the list of changes in lineup values ​​of 30 teams in the offseason, among which the Lakers are ranked 7th and the Warriors are ranked 22nd.

No. 1: Clippers (+8.1)

Registers: Paul, Daluo, Bill, Collins

Loss: Powell, Kofi, Ben Simmons

Because Xiao Ka was deeply involved in the rumors of "yin and yang contract", the outside world seriously ignored the Clippers' excellent lineup operation during the offseason. Like in the past few seasons, the Clippers once again created a gorgeous roster in the offseason.

Not only did he cash out at a high position and send out Powell, who performed poorly in the playoffs, he strengthened the starting No. 4 position Collins released the pressure that Xiaoka had to bear on the defensive end, but he also bought three former All-Star players, Paul, Bill and Daluo, at a low price.

Advanced data WAR also gives an intuitive display. The four new players introduced by the Clippers all exceeded 2.5, while Paul even reached 4.7, and only Powell exceeded 1 in the team.

Second place: Rockets (+5.1)

Sign up: Durant, Capela, Finney Smith and Okogie

Loss: Jaylen Green, Dillon, White Devils and Landal

Injuries: Van Jordan

Originally, the Rockets were the undisputed offseason winners. They won Durant through a cheap 8-for-1 deal, completing targeted reinforcement for key balls and strong scoring capabilities.

Then he used the middle class special case to win Finney Smith and "Biel King" Capela, achieving the filling and upgrading of the corresponding positions after Dillon and Landal left the team. He signed Okogie with a basic salary to replace the White Devils, improving the team's stability and wing depth. He only spent one first-round pick and five second-round picks throughout the whole process, and grew into a hot spot in the championship without any pain.

Advanced WAR data also intuitively shows that the Rockets rank first in the league in terms of signing lineup adjustments. Unfortunately, Van Jordan was seriously injured before the training camp started, and his WAR value was as high as 6.3, which led to the Rockets' regret of missing the top spot.

3rd place: Mavericks (+3.8)

Signings: Flag, Russell

Loss: Dinwiddie, Keijones

Mavericks are another offseason winner who has been seriously ignored by the outside world. Unlike the Clippers and Rockets who have won the game in the free and trading market, the Mavericks have only completed a slight personnel adjustment, but have entered the top three with their good luck in the draft lottery.

From the moment when the Mavericks won "Son of America" ​​Flag with a magical probability of 1.8%, they have become one of the biggest winners in the offseason.

What's more, the Mavericks also signed Russell at a low price in the free market to easily solve the problem of Irving's absence at the beginning of the season. In addition, Irving recovered from injury, the Mavericks in the new season are very likely to become a force that cannot be ignored in the West as the schedule advances.

The rest are ranked as follows: Nets, Hornets, Raptors, Lakers, Grizzlies, Hawks, Bulls.

It is not difficult to see from this list that ESPN's selection list based on WAR adjustment is not directly linked to the team's strength, but is entirely based on the adjustment of the offseason lineup.

Among them, the Lakers still won the 7th place with zero trades, because the Lakers not only locked in the long-term core Doncic in the future, but also left the old core James, but also signed three new players Ayton, Smart and Laravia without losing any valuable players.

11-15: Spurs, Knicks, Thunder, Nuggets, Trail Blazers;

16-20: Wizards, Magic, Pelicans, Jazz, Pistons;

21-30: 76ers, Warriors, Kings, Pacers, Heat, Timberwolves, Cavaliers, Bucks, Suns, Celtics.

In terms of signing operations, the Warriors are obviously underestimated, especially when Kumingga renews his contract, Horford joins, and Melton returns.
