Stabilize! US media predicts the Western Conference record ranking next season: 62 wins, and the three teams have 50 wins!

On August 15, the well-known American media open-air stand (BR), combined with the player changes in the free market and draft, gave a prediction on the record rankings of 15 Western Conference teams next season: among them, the defending champion predicted the record of 62 wins and 20 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets ranked second in the Western Conference with 54 wins and 28 losses, and there are three teams with 50 wins and 50 wins! Let’s take a look at the specific record rankings given by the media. Friends with different opinions are welcome to discuss in the comment area!

The Fifteenth Jazz: Predicted 16 wins and 66 losses!

Comments: The Jazz team has the lowest record every year, but it is never possible to find a cornerstone player in the draft market. This is the biggest problem for this team. This offseason, the team selected the Thorn Pele with the No. 5 position. Although this is a talented and highly personalized player, he is not a cornerstone player in any case. Sending the team's top scorer to the Clippers was only exchanged for Love and Li Kaile and another second round, and sending Sexton and a second round draft pick to the Hornets in exchange for Nurkic's deal is even more confusing! This team will be hard to achieve unless a real reformer appears in the management!

The 14th Pelicans: Predicted 25 wins and 57 losses!

Comment: Similar to the Jazz, the chaotic management decisions made this team see no hope. In the draft, he used 23 picks + 26-year first-round picks to exchange for the 13-pin pick. You should know that the Pelicans have the No. 7 pick. If they value this player so much, they can sign him directly with the No. 7 pick. The Pelicans' move is equivalent to giving up the draft pick that may become the No. 1 pick in the lottery next year. There is no need to say more about which talented young men will appear in the draft market next year! In the player market, Jordan Poole, who used an annual salary of 800,000 yuan, and used CJ's expiration contract to earn more than 6,000 yuan in two years, are all in a mess!

The Thirteenth Sun: Predicted 29 wins and 53 losses!

Comment: It is a bit incomprehensible to see the Suns being placed in this position by the open-air stands. From the perspective of the lineup, the Suns' strength is definitely no worse than that of the Kings and the Trail Blazers! Getting rid of Durant and Bill, Dillon, Jaylen Green, Mawei, and Kaman Maluacchi. The team's lineup has not only achieved rejuvenation, but more importantly, it has greatly optimized the lineup structure. Each player has his own role, and the balance of offense and defense has improved several levels compared to the Big Three. In my opinion, the Suns in the new season have at least the strength to make an impact on the playoffs, and there is even a higher possibility!

The Twelfth King: Predict 35 wins and 47 losses!

Comment: The Kings' management is also one of the most bizarre in the league! You can often do some operations that are completely incomprehensible, such as using Valan for Salic. How can you get consent for such a transaction? And Schroder was also given a three-year high-risk contract of up to $4,400. The Kings have followed the Warriors' passing and cutting system over the years. Schroeder can't even play with the Warriors. Where can the Kings get the confidence to use him well? However, this team has a combination of Sa Sakus + Raven + DeRozan, and it is not a big problem to win 30+ games throughout the season!

The Eleventh Trail Blazers: Forecast 36 wins and 46 losses!

Comment: It is a bit unexpected that the Trail Blazers can be ranked in this position. If Lillard can play in a healthy state in the new season, then they feel that they deserve this record prediction! But the problem facing them is that relying solely on a serious decline in Holiday + a group of young players, it is a bit whimsical to try to score 36 wins in the West, which is like a wolf and tiger!

9th to 10th Grizzlies and Mavericks: Both are predicted to be 42 wins and 40 losses!

Comment: The Grizzlies and the Mavericks are the two teams that have been most severely damaged by injuries in the past two seasons. Judging from the existing lineup, the Grizzlies sent Bain away, got Pope + Jerome to solve the potential locker room problems while increasing the bench firepower. The Mavericks have obtained at least two players in each position, including the talented boys Flag and Russell. From the lineup perspective, these two teams have improved to a certain extent compared with last season. If they get rid of the injury curse in the new season, they will easily achieve such results. The latter will wait until Irving returns healthily and can even launch an impact on the finals!

The Eighth Spurs: Predicted 45 wins and 37 losses!

Comments: Paul was let go in the offseason, and the second pick won the rookie of this year, Dylan Harper, the strongest offensive and defensive defender! The players also got practical frontcourt Cornet + Olynick in the market. The team's team building idea is very clear, and it officially builds the future around young people such as Wenban Yama. From the perspective of the lineup, this team will soon become a super strong team in the West!

The Seventh Warriors: Predicted 46 wins and 36 losses!

Comment: Although Kumingga's farce continues, he doesn't mind fighting with the Warriors to the death. The Warriors' management believes that once Kumingga's annual salary is given a quote of nearly 3,000,000 yuan, it may be difficult to sell it. This is also the deadlock between the two sides! Fortunately, news from all aspects has confirmed that before the start of the new season, four players who are very suitable for the Warriors system will appear in the team's lineup. After watching the playoff performance when the Warriors were in a complete lineup last season, it is not a big problem to stabilize the ranking of seventh in the Western Conference in the new season!

4th to sixth Timberwolves, Clippers, Lakers: Both are predicted to be 50 wins and 32 losses!

Comments: The Timberwolves retained all core lineups during the offseason, and only lost the bench substitute guard - Alexander Walker. I believe that the management dared to make such a decision because they saw the growth potential of Shannon + Dillingham. The Timberwolves, who have reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, have been underestimated in the past two seasons.. The Lakers and Clippers, both Los Angeles City's two heroes, completed a major lineup change in the offseason, and the results were very similar. The Lakers lost 1 and 3, and the Clippers lost 1 and 4. The lineup strength has improved compared to last season. From the perspective of the regular season, it is not a big problem for the US media to predict this record, but friends who know the ball understand that there is a huge difference in the real strength of these three teams!

The Third Rockets: Predicted 52 wins and 30 losses!

Comment: Whether it is player trading or player contract renewal, the operation of the Aerospace City this offseason is top in the league, but looking back, has the core problem of this team really been solved? With the premise of retaining Amen, Ethan and Xiao Jia, Durant, DFS, and Okogie are introduced again. Is it really useful to accumulate the front line without brains? The two fatal flaws exposed by this team last season are scoring ability + substitute point guard! But when we open the current big list, we will find that Durant is the only one who has a hard solution and stable score, and the number one substitute has not been solved. Looking at the statistics, the combination of Durant + DFS has no advantage in terms of score average, the combination of three-point output and Dillon + Jaylen Green.

The Second Nuggets: Forecast 54 wins and 28 losses!

Comment: The Nuggets, whose lineup has been greatly upgraded, have only 54 wins and 28 losses in the new season. You should know that the Nuggets last season all scored 50 wins and 32 losses. Perhaps the reason for the open-air stands to make this prediction is the improvement of the overall strength of the West, and the Nuggets are not a team that is persistent in chasing the regular season record!

The First Thunder: Predicted 62 wins and 20 losses!

Comments: As the defending champion, he renewed his contract with three core teams during the offseason and retained all the core teams for the championship. Compared with other teams, they do not need to be running-in in the new season, which is their biggest advantage. Sometimes young teams can think of setting some regular season records. The overall situation of the Western Conference in the new season is very different from last season. It is definitely not easy for the Thunder to win 60+ games!

Finally, let’s summarize. Judging from the record prediction given by the open-air stands, the top eight in the Western Conference in the new season are basically stable. There is a high probability that the top eight teams on this list will be the first eight teams on this list. Friends who have different opinions are welcome to discuss and communicate!
