Since the opening of the NBA offseason trading market, the signing of relatively large transfers has been almost done. The next step is some minor repairs and repairs from some teams, so the lineups of each club for the new season are basically determined. After a comprehensive comparison, there are only four teams with the ability to win the championship next season, and there are no Lakers or Mavericks.

First of all, the Thunder team has the greatest probability of winning the championship next season. During the offseason, they retained the championship team last season, and secondly, the team will still have a large number of draft picks in the future, so although the Thunder team has no movement in the trading market, they will still be the leader of the championship team next season. The second is that the Houston Rockets who got the trade was Durant. One of the big reasons why the Rockets failed to go further in the playoffs last season was the lack of experience and key ball ability. Now these problems have been perfectly solved with the arrival of Durant.

In addition to the above Thunder and Rockets, the Nuggets and Knicks also have the ability to win the championship. The Nuggets completed two important trades to strengthen the offseason, which was to trade Porter Jr. for Johnson, and then welcomed the championship-winning season defender Brown. The Knicks' starting five-man team was used to the extreme last season, but the problem of lack of scoring ability of the substitute lineup was exposed very clearly. However, with the arrival of Clarkson, the Knicks' offensive firepower of the substitute lineup has been greatly improved, and the team will still stand out in the East in the new season!

As for the Lakers and Mavericks who are very popular to win the championship, it is best not to hold too much hope. As James's condition declines, the Lakers have not made substantial reinforcements. Only one Ayton is far from solving the problems faced by the team. Moreover, James and the Lakers are having a little unpleasant fight now, so the possibility of the two sides parting ways is not ruled out. The Mavericks' Thick Eyebrow + Irving + Flag's three-leading score combination seems powerful, but potential injuries and experience issues cannot be ignored. The running-in of the overall lineup of the team is also unknown.
