US media: The NBA has the highest cost-effective operation in the offseason, the Rockets ranked first with 2 transactions, and Durant is on the list

NBA offseason is like a silent war, and behind every operation is the management's foresight and determination to bet. The latest offseason top ten operating list released by CBS Sports is not only a rating for the team's decisions, but also a weather vane for insight into the dramatic changes in the league pattern. Let's take a look at who has been selected so far:

No. 1: Rockets 7 traded Kevin Durant

and only produced Jaylen Green + Dillon + No. 10 picks in 2025 + 5 rounds, and did not involve potential stocks such as Shin Kyung and Smith. It can be said that he had won historical scorers at the cost of "zero core assets". Durant averaged 28.2 points per game last season, with a real shooting percentage of 65.1%. The Rockets' offensive efficiency jumped from 18th to the top 5. The combination of Durant + Van Villet + Finney Smith, the playoff experience exceeded the total Rockets' original lineup, and the team's championship rate increased significantly.

No. 2: Magic trade gets Desmond Bain

4 first rounds + Pope + Cole Anthony gets this star, and finds "the third giant for Bencairo and Wagner. Although it is expensive, Bain's joining has transformed the Magic from a playoff team to a favorite in the Eastern Conference Finals.

No. 3: Nuggets trade gets Cameron Johnson

{2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 12 million), leaving room for renewal Gordon, exchanged a premium contract for high-quality 3D, and adding weight to the Nuggets' road to defending their title.

4th place: The Heat got Norman Powell

sent Love + Li Keil + second round pick to get Powell, and the Heat once again demonstrated its "empty wolf" operation ability. Powell averaged 21.8 points per game last season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%, and its efficiency was comparable to the All-Stars. This deal can be said to be zero losses. The combination of Powell + Hero + Adebayo will make the Heat's offensive efficiency rush into the top five in the league.

5th place: The Rockets signed Finney Smith

Smith joins the Rockets and is known as "strategic operation". Last season, the three-point shooting percentage is 41%, and the ability to switch defense covers No. 1-4. It is not fully guaranteed in the last two years. The average salary is only 13.25 million, which is cost-effective and crushes similar players in the market.

No. 6: The Cavaliers traded and got Ball

and sent Ocorro to Ocorro. If the "Ball Brother" recovers health, it will become the key to the Cavaliers' qualitative change. When partnering with Caruso, the Bulls' backcourt defense efficiency is the first in the league and can be copied to the Cavaliers.

No. 7: The Hawks sign Alexander Walker

Iron Gate of the Backcourt: Trae Young's perfect bodyguard, single defense efficiency ranks in the top 10% of the wings, and can be taken over. Top ball holders such as Doncic and Mitchell have a 41% three-point shooting percentage and a 6th fast break counterattack hit rate in the league.

8th place: The Hawks traded with Porzingis

The team gave Mann + Nian + 22 draws to get Posses. The pick-and-roll external bullet combination with Trae Young is unsolvable. The three-point range forces the opponent's defense to collapse. The only hidden danger is health - if the Posses maintains a 70% attendance rate, the Hawks will jump into the top three competitors in the East.

9th place: The Clippers traded with John Collins

The team gave Powell + the second round pick in 2027 to get the star, and averaged 19 games last season 8.2 rebounds, 39.9% three-point shooting percentage, both ending and threat from the outside. The connection with Harden is expected to replicate the "Harden Capela" annulus feast, forming a "two tower" with Zubac, which can effectively protect the frame and rush into the top ten in the league.

No. 10: The Knicks sign Abussele

Abusseleben plans to retain 76ers, but Philadelphia is only willing to provide a basic salary. The Knicks took decisive action, locking the all-round forward with a middle-class contract, can switch to the 1-4 position, and even substituting in the small ball lineup, which can perfectly adapt to the Knicks' pick-and-roll system.
