Since the beginning of the offseason, Turner has undoubtedly become one of the biggest winners. With his outstanding performance in the past season, he has successfully achieved his worth and signed a four-year, 107 million contract with the Bucks. You should know that Turner has been put on the trading shelves before, but now he has still won a better future for himself through his own performance. In fact, there has never been a shortage of cases in NBA history where they fall into a trough and then prove that they have a higher value. The six major stars we will be able to prove themselves again in the new season, among which Doncic, who has lost weight frantically, may be expected to play an epic season.

6. After Russell

was traded to the Lakers, Russell's performance was at the "savior" level. That year, the Lakers had been hovering near the second half of the playoffs. Finally, with the help of Russell, they successfully entered the playoffs as seventh in the West. However, in the playoffs, Russell became the most obvious weakness of the Lakers starting. Without breakthrough, poor defense, and unstable shooting resulted in him losing the starter for the last time.

Lakes lost to the Nuggets in the playoffs last year. Russell's performance was still bad in this round of series. In the end, the Lakers decided to give up on him and sent him to the Nets. However, Russell, who returned to his old place, still had no improvement in his performance, so he could only join the Mavericks with a contract of 12 million in the offseason. But the good news is that the current situation of this team is very suitable for him, and Irving is still recovering from his injuries, so Russell has a lot of opportunities to start in the early stage, and he also has familiar teammates Thomas and Christie. Therefore, if he wants to regain his value, this may be his best opportunity.

5.Ayton

Since Ayton entered the league, "giant baby", "fighting cleanliness", etc. have always been his labels. Even though he performed well in the 2021 and 2022 playoffs, he was pushed to the forefront of public opinion when the Suns' record declined later. In 2023, Ayton was traded to the Trail Blazers, and his performance here became more and more "Buddhist". In addition, the team selected Klingen and Yang Hansen, so Ayton, who learned that he was not in the team's plan in the future, also took the initiative to apply for a buyout during this offseason. After becoming a free agent, Ayton joined the Lakers not long after, and in fact, anyone can see that he is extremely compatible with the team's lineup. First of all, Ayton's joining the Lakers is definitely a sure starter. Then, he mainly eats cakes, Doncic, James, and Reeves around him have the ability to pass the ball to the center, so as long as his personal attitude is fine, there is no reason he can't play next season.

4.Trey Yang

When Tray Yang led the Eagles to the Eastern Conference Final in 2021, the outside world thought that this was just their starting point. As a result, four years later, this has become a height that the Eagles are no longer able to reach. The Hawks have been making a lot of trouble in recent years, but the team has not made it to the playoffs for two consecutive years. At the same time, there are more and more voices saying that Trae Young is not suitable to be the core of the team building. However, it is obvious that the Hawks do not think so. They are still working hard to strengthen this offseason and have signed some outstanding players.

For example, Porzingis, Walker, Kennard, and also selected the inside player Newell with outstanding talent, so that the Hawks' lineup will definitely be upgraded. In this way, Trae Young will have no excuse next season. He needs to play at the best lineup level + lead the team to the playoffs. Only in this way can the team's plan to build a team around him is not that bad, and considering that he will renew his contract in advance next year, he also needs to work harder for his big contract.

3. George

Since George joined the Clippers, he has not been able to return to his former level. The 2021 playoffs led the team to the Western Conference Finals is one of his few highlights here. However, considering George's age and attendance, the Clippers did not choose to renew his maximum salary last year, but at this time the 76ers stood up and were willing to sign a four-year, 212 million contract with George, so the latter also had no suspense and ushered in another transfer.

As a result, George, who joined the 76ers this season, was reimbursed after only 41 games due to injury, and the team ultimately failed to make the playoffs. As George gets older, he has less and less time to prove himself. Next season, he will be 36 years old and can only gain some good reputation at the end of his career by seizing this last chance. Otherwise, when he retires, he will probably still scold him everywhere.

2. Bill

When Bill and the Wizards signed this super maximum salary in 2022, everyone could see that this was a premium contract. As a result, in 2023, the Suns were still rushing to make a transaction. As a result, after Bill joined the Suns, his incompatibility with Durant and Booker completely destroyed the team's chemistry and the previously balanced lineup construction. However, the Suns only attributed the problem to the coach at the beginning, so they cut Vogel and signed Buden. As a result, after another season, the Suns changed their coach, but this time they finally knew that they would reorganize the lineup.

Due to Bill's big contract, no team will make a deal with the Suns, so if they want to part ways with Bill, then buying out is the only way. According to current news, Bill joins the Clippers and holds a contract that is much smaller than the maximum salary. He has a chance to save his reputation. Considering that he is only 32 years old, after he returns to some value next season, he may be able to sign another contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan next year.

1.Doncic

After reaching the finals last year, the Mavericks continued to strengthen the offseason. After the start of the new season, the team also played a good job after experiencing the running-in.. However, at this moment, the Mavericks suddenly traded Doncic, who was still recovering from injury. The most important thing is that the team has been "talking bad things about Doncic" through the media, such as his lack of self-discipline and high potential for injury, etc., so the team does not think he can play the role of the core in the future.

For Doncic, a talented player who has been smooth in his basketball career, this is one of the biggest setbacks he has experienced so far. The good news is that he is only 26 years old, so as long as he is willing to work hard, he can slap the Mavericks in the face with his own hands. Judging from the news of Doncic's various weight loss in this offseason, he did take the Mavericks' words to heart this time. In addition, the Lakers' strengthening is also very popular with him. Therefore, after the start of the new season, we have reason to believe that Doncic will truly launch an attack on the MVP.
