Letters choose to stay in the team, and the two major champions in the East have fallen! Next season, three youth troops may compete for dominance
7:42pm, 8 June 2025【Basketball】
June 8, according to US media reporter Ary today, Antetokounmpo has made it clear that he has no intention of submitting a transaction application this offseason and plans to continue to stay in the team. He has a very firm attitude towards staying in the team. It seems that Antetokounmpo wants to go down one by one. Although this may give him less honors, it will give him more respect. However, judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for the Bucks to be a championship team next season.
After all, Lillard suffered a serious injury, and it is hard to say when he will return. He may not come back until the end of the season next season, and it is hard to say whether he can recover after his return. Daluo is a complete free agent in the offseason. Considering his age, the team may give up on him, but if he is given up on him, there will be a vacancy in the team's No. 5 position. At the same time, players like Trent and Porter Jr. who have valued this season are probably difficult for the Bucks to stay.
The letters for next season are decided to spend this difficult season with the Bucks. Such a choice is indeed difficult for a star who wants to pursue his historical status, but the letters choose his loyalty. In addition to the Bucks not being able to compete for the championship next season, there is another powerful force in the East who withdraws from the championship. They are the Celtics. Many fans probably know about the current situation of the Celtics.
Their star Tatum also suffered a serious injury and will not be able to return until the second half of next season. If the team retains their current lineup, their luxury tax + salary next season will be as high as 500 million, so the team has now started a sale mode. Except for Double Tanhua and White, other players can trade. The team will choose to lie dormant next season. They will wait until Tatum returns to see if they are going to choose to continue to win the championship or rebuild.
If these two teams choose to give up next season, then this is definitely a good opportunity for some teams who want to break out of the division next season. As for the current situation, which teams are expected to dominate the Eastern Conference next season? I think there are three teams that are most likely. The first is the Pacers who have reached the finals now. They have reached the division finals for two consecutive years. This is not accidental, but they really have strong strength. The tactical system of the Pacers is so good. It is said that the cornerstone of this team is Halliburton, but in fact it is not. Their real cornerstone is Carlisle. He has built this team into a style of play similar to a university team. Tactics are paramount. Every player can play his value in the team. Even at many critical moments, their role players have the opportunity to take action, which makes it difficult for the Pacers' offense to be restricted, and the team's defense is also underestimated.
Apart from the Pacers, I think it's the Cavaliers. There is no Knicks among these three teams. The reason why I don't like them is that this team likes to let the players or coaches take the blame. The team is not satisfied with the team's scoring to the Eastern Conference Finals. The coaches have been laid off. Recently, they have recruited two coaches and are unwilling to come. Although the Cavaliers were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs this season, the main reason for their elimination by the Pacers is injury.
The Cavaliers' lineup is indeed not enough to compete for the championship, but they intend to change the lineup in the offseason. The team will retain the two cores of Mobley and Mitchell. A young forward like Hunter may also leave the team. They will try to send Garland and Allen away for a more suitable puzzle or star to chase the championship. The Cavaliers have Mitchell and Mobley guaranteed the bottom line, which has given them a high enough upper limit.
There is Magic. The Magic team has been underestimated. They were eliminated in the first round this season because of injuries. And if it weren't for Bancero and Xiao Wa's consecutive injuries during the regular season, the Magic wouldn't have fallen to this position. When their core is healthy enough, this team will definitely be able to enter the top four of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and their talent is so outstanding, which is a bit like the Eastern Conference Thunder.
Another major reason for the Magic's failure this season is that Sargers was injured and reimbursed for the season. If he was at the top of the league in the Magic's defense, it was a bit like the Rockets. However, compared to the Rockets, Magic's elder Ban Chero has the ability to play singles indiscriminately. He has been so outstanding in his third year of his career. Next season, he and Xiao Wa will probably still have a ball. As long as the Magic can introduce a suitable point guard in the offseason, they will be very good.
Maybe everyone thinks that the Pistons have this strength, and Cunningham is indeed powerful, but their young core members have not yet grown up. Holland and Orsa are still unconventional. It is estimated that in 2-3 years, the Pistons will have the ability to influence the situation in the East. This team is worth looking forward to in the future. The East will have less competition in the next season than in the West. Having said that, what do you want to say about the East next season? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
