High score reward, analyze the general trend of NBA next season, and write down the advantages and disadvantages of each team competing for the championship.

Just a few words, all original. Let’s talk about the West first.

Rockets: Ariza comes to the Rockets, Artest is gone. First of all, Ariza's advantage over Artest is that he is young, promising, has a positive attitude, has an easy-going personality, and can get along with others. However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Although he can defend, he is not as fierce as Artest. His feet are still flat and prone to injury (he missed most of the season last year because of a foot injury). In addition, the key point is that Artest's offensive ability is stronger! And Ariza's offensive ability cannot be compared with Arte at all. The reason why he had good statistics last season is that his own ability must be important, but he must have someone around him who can attract double teams, such as Kobe and a healthy Tracy McGrady. McGrady will not be available until the second half of next season, so Ariza's role cannot be fully utilized. Although Artest's shooting percentage is not satisfactory, he is the initiator of the offense when Tracy McGrady is away. Personally, I think this transaction will fail in the short term. The Rockets' prospects next season: Yao and McGrady are basically scrapped. Unless Morey makes a shocking trade, it will be difficult to reach the second round of the playoffs.

Lakers: Odom has performed better this season. The Lakers should be able to sign him. Shark Bynum is still young and will only improve. Kobe's sword is still young, Artest should not be too arrogant under the suppression of Zen Master and Kobe. The Lakers' shortcoming is the point guard. But it doesn't matter, because the other points are so awesome. I personally think the Lakers will still be the Western Conference champion next season.

The Spurs: Made two big trades in exchange for Jefferson and McDyess, the starting five! It's strong enough on paper, and I think under the guidance of the great Popovich, running-in has never been a problem. The shortcomings of the Spurs are aging, injuries, and the bench. Duncan, Ginobili, and McDyess are all old, and they are prone to injuries when they get older. The Spurs this season are plagued by injuries, and after trades, the bench can There are really only a handful of people who have taken it out. . . . I think the Spurs can reach the second round of the playoffs next season.

The Mavericks: I don’t like the Mavericks very much, but I admire Cuban very much. Cuban's company has been losing money recently, but he still renewed Kidd's contract at a high price and bought Marion and Gortat. Nowitzki is at his peak, Terry is at the end of his peak, and Howard's condition has declined, but he is still very good. Don't underestimate Marion. He was so good before because he had Nash, the passing master next to him. Kidd's passing is no less than Nash, so I think Marion and Kidd can rejuvenate next season. But it's still difficult to challenge the Lakers. Mavericks prediction for next season: Second round of playoffs or Western Conference finals!

Nuggets: The Nuggets have been very successful this season, so it feels like they won't make too many changes in the summer. Anthony, Billups, Nene, and JR are all at their peak. Their current problem is salary: Jones and Anderson have both played up their value this season, and their salaries will definitely increase, and other teams will definitely come to compete for them. These two people performed very well during the season, and Jones is the main defensive force. Anderson is a shot-blocking rebounder. If the Nuggets can keep these two people, they should be able to reach above the second round of the playoffs next season.

Trail Blazers: Very promising. Roy (superstar level) and Aldridge are pushing toward their peak step by step. Fernandez, Outlaw, and Batum are cheap, easy to use, and unique. Blake and Przybilla are practical and average. It's a pity that Oden did not develop as expected. He might have grabbed Turkoglu, but now he has been snatched by the Raptors. It is a pity. If Oden can make great progress next year (although I think this probability is unlikely...), the Blazers have a good chance of advancing to the second round or even the Western Conference Finals. For a strong team, the Trail Blazers' shortcomings lie in the point guard and center. In addition, Roy was miserably double-teamed. . .

Hornets: A very disappointing team. They were impressive last year, but this year they were brutally beaten by the Nuggets in the first round. . . Paul is indeed strong, but now his configuration has deteriorated again. Peja's condition will only get worse and worse, and salary accounts for a lot of it. Chandler is also in decline, and his salary is still very high. Paul's big contract will take effect this year. The Hornets' salary pressure is considerable. With the help of Paul, West's statistics are indeed beautiful, but in front of a strong team, this Hornets is really no match. If there is no big deal, the Hornets will be in the first round at best next year.

Jazz: Same old thing. . . .

There has been a lot of talk recently that Boozer is leaving. It’s really unclear what the situation is now. Sloan does have a lot of skills, Deron is close to his peak, and there are a bunch of practical players, including Okur, Millsap, Halprin and so on. It’s a pity. Korver is gone, and they are missing a stable three-pointer, but I believe the manager will definitely strengthen it. Under the protection of Sloan and the Devils' home court, the Jazz will still be a strong team next year, but their shortcoming lies in the points. Up to the second round next year.

Suns: The Suns are in a mess now. I don’t know what medicine the manager is selling. O’Neal is gone, Stoudemire and Hill are both in trade rumors, so I won’t comment for now. . .

Clippers: You read that right, I am writing about the Clippers. In fact, the Clippers had a very good lineup last year. Baron Davis, Camby inside, and Randolph (already gone, replaced Quentin Richardson, good points), Kaman. There is also a young man like Elsoton who has unlimited potential. Due to the most serious injuries and running-in problems in the league, the Clippers failed this year. There is a lot to look forward to next year. If Griffin is selected as the No. 1 pick, if he stays healthy, making the playoffs will definitely not be a problem.

There are only a few strong teams in the Western Conference. Maybe the Grizzlies (maybe AI has gone) will be better than last year, but they won’t be able to make any big waves. The Warriors didn’t have any big trades, and they even walked away. Lawford, so he is no longer competitive

Eastern Conference:

Celtics: If KG hadn't been injured, we still don't know who would be the Eastern Conference champion this year. He will be healthy next season, Rondo is getting better and better, and he has also introduced Rasheed (I really think he is very good, both inside and outside, both offensive and defensive), but the problem is age. Although the giants are getting older, their condition has not declined very much, and they are not easily injured, so they are getting better and better. So next year's Kaizi will be very competitive and have hope of winning the championship

Magic: They introduced Carter and lost Turkoglu. . . . Alas, I think it was a failed deal. Turkoglu is the one who connects the inside and outside of the Magic. He has a big heart and is very suitable for the Magic system. Although Carter is great and has a sure kill, his organizational skills are not as good as Special's, and running-in is still a problem. But attendance is guaranteed, haha. The Magic will only regress next year, probably in the second round.

Cavaliers: After bringing in O'Neal, it feels like the Cavaliers are now a nursing home. They have three million-dollar contracts: Szczerbiak, James, Big Z, and O'Neal, who has a 20 million contract. I just recently signed a contract with Varejao, worth close to 10 million. Xiao Mo’s salary is not low either. I don’t know where the Cavaliers got so much money. . . . Seriously, if the Cavaliers bring in O'Neal, they will definitely be better than this year. James will get even better, and if a bunch of role players do their jobs well, the Cavaliers will still be very competitive. We will reach the Eastern Conference finals next year and look forward to the decisive battle with Kaizi.

Pistons: They have completely entered the rebuilding period and introduced Villanueva and Ben Gordon. Doesn’t that coincide with Hamilton, so the Pistons still have transactions, let’s not talk about it now, it’s the same as the Suns ,confusion. . .

Hawks: Introduced scorer Crawford! ! ! He will only be better than last year, but it is said that Bibby is leaving. If Bibby leaves, the Hawks will not be too competitive in the Eastern Conference. The year before last, it was because of Bibby's joining that the Hawks were sublimated and became a strong team in the Eastern Conference.

Heat: There is one strong point in Wade, but to be honest, the rest are basically weaknesses. The Heat should equip Wade with a strong center, just like they did in 2005 and 2006, and create a competent vacancy. Unfortunately, the management has not made any big moves. Without a trade, it will still be a first-round team at best

< p>Raptors: This year's Raptors are disappointing, they are last in the Eastern Conference, but they signed Turkoglu in the summer, Bosh is in good condition, Calderon, and Bargnani are all very practical, international team. ! Can return to the playoff team next year!

Bulls: The seven games against the defending champion this year are really exciting. Unfortunately, Ben Gordon is gone this year. Rumors say Hinrich is also leaving, but Rose is very exciting, as well as Rolle. With Deng and other strong players, the Bulls can still make the playoffs next year.

There are few strong teams in the Eastern Conference, so let’s just write this much

I have written so much without realizing it, and I feel a strong sense of accomplishment. There must be people who have different opinions, but it doesn’t matter. It's my personal opinion. It doesn’t matter if the poster doesn’t give me the best one, because I have written so many myself and decided to collect them myself~ PS: You asked this question too early. . . Because now is the day when teams are trading crazy, this problem has 20 days, and in 20 days, anything is possible for the NBA. . . .
