The top champion in the 25-26 season is the most popular, and I must ask my teacher for the Nuggets

There is more than a month left before the start of the new NBA season. Fans must be very concerned about what popular teams will be next season’s championship? The author lists his own ideas. The list of these teams is the Nuggets, Thunder, Clippers, Rockets, Knicks, and Cavaliers, but this is just my own opinion and is just for reference.

Why put Nuggets first? We will support our opinions later, let’s talk about the other teams first.

As the champion of last season, the Thunder will also become stronger in the new season, which is undoubtedly the strength of the Thunder. But the team's size, height and three-point shooting are not very good, otherwise they would not have played 7 games with the Nuggets last season. Therefore, this team has certain shortcomings, even though the star Alexander's fighting power is very terrifying. But the Thunder's outside defense is very terrifying, which destined that their lower limit is very high and their record in the new season will be excellent. The Clippers have upgraded their lineup during the offseason, and they have almost no big shortcomings at the moment. They can be said to be a team with balanced offense and defense. But the question is, whether it is Harden or Leonard, can he perform steadily at critical moments of ball control? The latter's attendance rate is a big problem. If Leonard can stay healthy and Harden's form can continue, the Clippers still have the ability to compete for the championship. In other words, the absolute ability of this team's superstars will determine its upper limit.

The Rockets' configuration was also very complete, but they had no choice but to lose core defender Van Vreett. When the team loses the best organizational brain, it will increase the pressure of core stars such as Durant to hold the ball. In the short term, how the Rockets can make up for this shortcoming will become a major problem. But considering that the Rockets played second in the Western Conference last season, coupled with Durant's joining, the overall strength should not be underestimated; how far can this team go? It also depends on how management operates to solve the core organizer's problems.

Knicks are definitely the best in the East in lineup configuration. After all, there are more or less problems with powerful people such as the Celtics and the Bucks. Last season, its opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals Pacers had lost star Halliburton, so the new season is a rare opportunity for the Knicks. Considering the lack of offensive firepower of the substitute lineup last season, this shortcoming was filled in the offseason and obtained two outside offensive experts, Clarkson and Brogden. The Knicks' strength has been improved again, so it will become the biggest favorite to win the East.

But there are also shortcomings, that is, the height of the star Brunson is limited, and the team's ability to attack at critical moments is also a big test.

Of course, there is another big favorite in the East, that is the Cavaliers. This team is balanced inside and outside, and superstar Mitchell is in charge. They will continue to perform well in the regular season as usual, and it is very likely to achieve the record of No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. But considering Garland's attributes of strong offense and weak defense, and the newly joined Ball's state becoming a fan of it, the Cavaliers may become more unstable. Furthermore, the small forwards of this team are still a big problem, and I don’t know what kind of offensive and defensive output Hunter can shoulder.

Nuggets had many problems last season, that is, except for Jokic and Murray, there was a lack of third ball holder, and Porter Jr. was almost abandoned. Even though the lineup has major flaws, it is still able to play against the opponent in the first two rounds of the playoffs to the 7th game. This is Jokic's ability to support the bottom. Of course, Gordon around him is also very important. During this summer's offseason, the Nuggets' management is still very good. They recalled old player Brown, sent Porter Jr. away for Cameron Johnson, and even got center Valan and ball-holder Hardaway Jr.

It can be said that the Nuggets will perform well in offense and defense in the new season, and the lineup will become more complete, with almost no shortcomings. Many outside players, excellent leader defenders, multiple forwards, and Jokic finally have qualified substitutes. The Nuggets have balanced offense and defense, and injuries may be the biggest obstacle to winning the championship.

Therefore, the number one champion in the 25-26 season must be the Nuggets.
