內容:
(前言比較像是講明明平常他都是10月才排怎麼現在就在排了 所以就不翻了XD 反正重點就是基於去年的排名再用季後補強他們有沒有變強做加減)

Here’s how the (offseason) Power Rankings work:

It’s up to my discretion how the rankings shake out. For some teams, they’
ll be hit in the short term. Others will be given the benefit for the long
term. Yes, it is entirely subjective.

If I have a team ahead of another team, there’s no reason to ask why they’
re ranked above the team you like. The answer is pretty simple: I think that
team is set up better for success.

Yes, I watch the games. And yes, I watch your favorite team.

Only 15 teams will be deemed worthy of a GIF or video. That’s to limit how
much we eat up your data and computer’s processor.

This is supposed to be fun, so let’s have fun with it.

1.排名怎麼變動是我自己斟酌的。有一些隊伍他們只是暫時在那邊。其他可能是長期的。對,這完全是主觀的東西。

2.如果有一隊在另一隊前面,這沒有啥理由去問為啥他們在前面。答案很簡單:我覺得這一隊的組成比較容易成功。

3.對,我看比賽。對,我有看你最愛的球隊。

4.為了電腦效能,只有15隊我有放GIF或影片(迷因那種 我就不放了XD)。

5.這應該是好玩的東西,所以我們好玩就好。

T1:強力競爭者

1. Golden State Warriors, defending champs
Major additions: JaMychal Green (free agent), Donte DiVincenzo (free agent),
Patrick Baldwin Jr. (draft)

Major subtractions: Gary Payton II (Portland), Nemanja Bjelica (Europe), OttoPorter Jr. (Toronto), Juan Toscano-Anderson (Lakers)

Did this team get better? On the surface? Absolutely not. The Golden State
Warriors saw three — maybe four — good role players leave in free agency
this offseason. For a defending champion, that’s not exactly rare, but it
was kind of odd to feel like the Warriors had finally hit a breaking point
with doling out luxury-tax penalties. If DiVincenzo’s knee is healthy, he’
ll be a nice replacement for Payton as a very different role player. Green
should be a solid rotation option for them. This team is banking on Stephen
Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson being great in title defense form,
and on the young guys (Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, James Wiseman) growing
up in bigger roles next season. The biggest key is a full offseason for
Thompson … and maybe how Green handles extension talks.

1. 金州勇士,衛冕軍

主要補強:JaMychal Green(FA),Donte DiVincenzo(FA),Patrick Baldwin Jr.(選秀)

主要流失:Gary Payton II(波特蘭),Nemanja Bjelica(歐洲),Otto Porter Jr.(多倫多),Juan Toscano-Anderson(湖人)

這隊有變強嗎?表面上?當然沒有。金州勇士眼睜睜看著3...甚至4個好的角色球員變成自由球員離開。對於一個衛冕軍來說,這並不稀奇,但看到勇士終於在繳稅上走到一個臨界點感覺很奇怪。如果DiVincenzo的膝蓋是健康的,他應該是GP2很好的替代品,雖然兩個是非常不同的角色球員。Green也應該是他們不錯的輪值選項。這隊主要是靠著Curry,Green與
Thompson才在一個很好的衛冕狀態,且下一季年輕人(Kuminga,Moody,Wiseman)將會成長成更重要的角色。最大的關鍵還是在Thompson的狀態與Green延長約的協商。

2. Boston Celtics
Major additions: Malcolm Brogdon (trade), Danilo Gallinari (free agent)

Major subtractions: Daniel Theis (Indiana), Aaron Nesmith (Indiana)

Did this team get better? They definitely got better. The Boston Celtics willhave to worry about the availability of Brogdon. He hasn’t been reliable in
years when it comes to staying on the court. But considering what the Celticsgave up in exchange for Brogdon to join the squad, it was a no-brainer. When
he’s available to play, he gives them one of the deepest backcourts in the
NBA. Coming off an NBA Finals appearance, Brad Stevens made the team better.
And maybe they even keep trying to get Kevin Durant? What will be interestingis the effect of reports continuing over the years of Jaylen Brown being
dangled to acquire superstars. It happened with Danny Ainge, and it’s
happening with Stevens. You can make an argument for keeping this core
together after the first-year run under Ime Udoka. You can make an argument
for getting someone like Durant even if it means giving up Brown. The Celticsaren’t just assuming they remain the best team in the East because they made
the finals.

2.波士頓賽爾提克

主要補強:Malcolm Brogdon(交易),Danilo Gallinari(FA)

主要流失:Daniel Theis(印第安納),Aaron Nesmith(印第安納)

這隊有變強嗎?他們當然變更強了。波士頓賽爾提克會需要擔心Brogdon的出賽狀況。他已經很多年沒辦法穩定待在場上了。但考量到塞爾提克為了買他而付出的代價,這是無腦的選擇。當他可以打的時候,他會給他們NBA最有深度的後場之一。在NBA總冠軍賽結束後,BradStevens把球隊變得更好了,他們可能甚至可以繼續嘗試買來Durant?多年來Jaylen Brown一直被傳出要被拿去交易巨星的效應會是很有趣的。Danny Ainge時發生,Stevens時依然發生。你可以爭論要將這些核心在Udoka第一季的執教後留著。你也可以爭論要去拿一個像KD一樣的球員,即使這意味著要放Brown。賽爾提克並未因為他們打進了冠軍賽就預設他們是東區最好的球隊。

3. Phoenix Suns
Major additions: Damion Lee (free agent), Josh Okogie (free agent)

Major subtractions: JaVale McGee (Dallas), Aaron Holiday (Atlanta)

Did this team get better? The Phoenix Suns did not get better this offseason,but it’s fair to wonder how much they even need to get better. Yes, the end
of the postseason was a disaster. Was that Chris Paul collapsing? Was it a
rift between Deandre Ayton and the organization? Was that the Suns coming
back down to earth (realistic in basketball, very dangerous in science)?
Bringing back Ayton by matching the Indiana offer sheet was a good move, and
hopefully, they can put water under the bridge. Losing McGee sucks, but they
retained Bismack Biyombo and they’ll get Dario Saric back. The Suns need to
hope a healthy playoff appearance in 2023 looks more like what we saw in
their 2021 finals run. They’re still a great matchup to face the defending
champion Warriors.

3.鳳凰城太陽

主要補強:Damion Lee(FA),Josh Okogie(FA)

主要流失:JaVale McGee(達拉斯),Aaron Holiday(亞特蘭大)

這隊有變強嗎?太陽並沒有在這個休賽期變得更好但他們還需要變多好是個好問題。是的,去年季後賽的結尾是場災難。Chris Paul衰退了?Deandre Ayton與球隊之間有矛盾嗎?太陽要墜落地球了(籃球很真實,科學很危險)?藉由匹配印第安納的合約將Ayton簽回是好的動作並希望他們可以不計前嫌。失去McGee很糟糕,但他們留下了Biyombo並會有Saric回歸。太陽需要希望他們能在2023有個健康的季後賽,如同他們2021打進總冠軍賽一般。他們還是衛冕軍勇士的一個強力競爭者。

4. Milwaukee Bucks
Major additions: Joe Ingles (free agent), MarJon Beauchamp (draft)

Major subtractions: None

Did this team get better? Just with being healthy, the Milwaukee Bucks are
better. I don’t think we should expect anything from Beauchamp as a rookie,
and he’ll probably spend a lot of time in the G League still. Ingles is
coming off an ACL injury, so we don’t know when he’ll be back and
contributing. But the Bucks get a healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo, a healthy
Khris Middleton (assuming he heals from the wrist surgery on time) and a
healthy Jrue Holiday. They brought back their key role players. And this teamwas still giving Boston hell in the postseason without its second-best
player. I almost had Milwaukee above Phoenix and Boston, but I want to see
the health of Middleton and Brook Lopez to start the season. Let’s not
forget how great this Bucks team is.

4.密爾瓦基公鹿

主要補強:Joe Ingles(FA),MarJon Beauchamp(選秀)

主要流失:無

這隊有變強嗎?只要維持健康,密爾瓦基公鹿就更強了,我不覺得我們需要從菜鳥Beauchamp期待他有甚麼貢獻且他應該會長期待在G League。Ingles剛從ACL傷病回來所以我們不知道他甚麼時候會回來並做出貢獻。但公鹿有健康的Antetokounmpo,健康的Khris Middleton(假設他手腕手術復原進度準時)以及健康的Jrue Holiday。他們簽回了他們重要的角色球員。這隊在失去他們第二好的球員時仍帶給波士頓一個地獄。我幾乎要把密爾瓦基排在鳳凰城與波士頓前面,但我想看到Middleton與Brook Lopez開季時的健康狀態。請不要忘記公鹿有多強。

5. Miami Heat
Major additions: Nikola Jovic (draft)

Major subtractions: P.J. Tucker (Philadelphia)

Did this team get better? They did not. The Miami Heat are a little bit in
limbo with their offseason. Tucker is gone, and that’s a big loss. The only
new player they’ve really brought in is a rookie who is currently most
notable for having a name one letter away from the two-time reigning MVP. TheHeat are waiting to see if they have a realistic shot at Kevin Durant (less
likely) or Donovan Mitchell (do they want to give up all those picks?) in a
trade. Otherwise, they’ll probably just expect advancements from the young
guys and hope the bounce that didn’t go their way in trying to get back to
the finals falls for them this time. The most notable thing for the Heat thisoffseason has been Jimmy Butler’s new hair.

5.邁阿密熱火

主要補強:Nikola Jovic(選秀)

主要流失:P.J. Tucker(費城)

這隊有變強嗎?他們沒有。邁阿密熱火休賽期有些停滯。Tucker沒了,這是巨大的損失。他們唯一的新球員是一個因為與兩屆MVP名字很像才出名的菜鳥。熱火他們還在等待他們是否能有機會得到Kevin Durant(比較不可能)或Donovan Mitchell(他們願意放棄那堆選秀權嗎?)。否則,他們可能只能期待年輕球員的成長並希望這個反彈並不會使他們重返決賽之路受到阻礙。熱火休賽季最受到關注的事情是Jimmy Butler的新髮型。

T2:競爭者邊緣

6. Memphis Grizzlies
Major additions: David Roddy (draft), Jake LaRavia (draft), Kennedy Chandler
(draft), Danny Green (trade), Kenneth Lofton Jr. (free agent)

Major subtractions: De’Anthony Melton (Philadelphia), Kyle Anderson
(Minnesota)

Did this team get better? The Memphis Grizzlies did not get better from a
talent standpoint. Anderson left for Minnesota, and they traded Melton for a
draft pick that became Roddy. We also have Jaren Jackson Jr. out for months
after another surgery. The Grizzlies should expect to take a step back, whichis not a big deal considering they surprised everybody with the second-best
record in basketball this past season. They grabbed four really nice young
role players on draft night, and we can expect Ja Morant and Desmond Bane to
get even better. But the Grizzlies lost two significant role players, and they’ll have to figure that out. Bringing back Tyus Jones was a great deal.

6.曼菲斯灰熊

主要補強:David Roddy(選秀),Jake LaRavia(選秀),Kennedy Chandler(選秀),Danny
Green(交易),Kenneth Lofton Jr.(FA)

主要流失:De;Anthony Melton(費城),Kyle Anderson(明尼蘇達)

這隊有變強嗎?曼菲斯灰熊沒有把天賦再往上堆疊。Anderson離開去了北大荒,且他們賣掉Melton以選來Roddy。我們還有Jaren Jackson Jr.因為動手術而要缺席數個月。灰熊應該要被期待退步。不過是在他們去年驚喜了所有人拿下聯盟第二的戰績後這並不是甚麼大事。他們選秀夜抓下了4名不錯的年輕角色球員,且我們可以期待Ja Morant與Desmond Bane再進步。不過灰熊失去了兩個重要的角色球員並需要找出解決方法。簽回Tyus Jones是很好的動作。

7. Philadelphia 76ers
Major additions: De’Anthony Melton (trade), P.J. Tucker (free agent), Danuel
House (free agent)

Major subtractions: DeAndre Jordan (Denver), Paul Millsap (free agent), DannyGreen (Memphis)

Did this team get better? Oh my god, yes. Daryl Morey and Elton Brand had a
brilliant offseason. This team had no depth last season after the James
Harden trade. Picking up Melton for an injured Danny Green (and a pick) was
massive. Tucker getting a three-year deal was a surprise, but a necessary
pickup for the Sixers. Danuel House is a really nice role player. If this
team is healthy, it’ll be a contender. Joel Embiid is too good not to be.
However, we need to see a better Harden than we’ve seen over the last year
or so. Great offseason for them though.

7.費城76人

主要補強:De'Anthony Melton(交易),P.J. Tucker(FA),Danuel House(FA)

主要流失:DeAndre Jordan(丹佛),Paul Millsap(FA),Danny Green(曼菲斯)

這隊有變強嗎?我的天,有。Daryl Morey與Elton Brand有個很聰明的休賽期。這隊在JamesHarden交易之後就沒了深度。只用受傷的Danny Green(與選秀權)就換到Melton很重要。Tucker拿到3年約是個驚喜,不過是76人必要的補強。Danuel House是個很棒的角色球員。如果這對健康他們一定是強力競爭者。Joel Embiid太強了不可能不排進去。不過,我們還是得看到比去年更好的Harden。但這對他們來說仍是一個很棒的休賽期。

T3:季後賽球隊

8. Dallas Mavericks

Major additions: Christian Wood (trade), Jaden Hardy (draft), JaVale McGee
(free agent)

Major subtractions: Jalen Brunson (New York), Boban Marjanovic (Houston),
Marquese Chriss (Houston)

Did this team get better? I do think the Dallas Mavericks got a little betterbut it’s tricky. Losing Brunson will be big, even with the addition of
Spencer Dinwiddie last season. Brunson was steady, and they needed that
presence. Wood has to prove he plays winning basketball. The talent is there,but they need his skills on offense along with real effort on defense. Jason
Kidd should be the guy who can get through to him though. The McGee pickup
was really big for them, as they’ve needed some real interior depth. They
need Tim Hardaway Jr. back and healthy, but this team had such a great
season. I know they made the conference finals, but they’ll have to keep
improving to keep up with that West landscape.

8.達拉斯小牛

主要補強:Christian Wood(交易),Jaden Hardy(選秀), JaVale McGee(FA)

主要流失:Jalen Brunson(紐約),Boban Marjanovic(休士頓),Marquese Chriss(休士頓)
這隊有變強嗎?我是覺得達拉斯小牛稍微變強了不過有點微妙。失去Brunson會很巨大,即使上一季補進了Spencer Dinwiddie依舊巨大。Brunson很穩定且他們需要他的存在。Wood必須證明他會打會贏的籃球。他天賦擺在那邊但他們不但需要他進攻的技巧也需要他在防守上付出真正的努力。Jason Kidd應該會是那個可以引導他的人就是。McGee的簽約也很重大,他們從以前就一直很需要內線的深度。他們需要Tim Hardaway Jr.回來且健康,但這隊去年就有一個好賽季了。我知道他們打進了分區決賽,但他們需要持續進步才能跟上西區的板塊動盪。

9. Denver Nuggets

Major additions: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (trade), Ish Smith (trade), Bruce
Brown Jr. (free agent), Christian Braun (draft), Peyton Watson (draft),
DeAndre Jordan (free agent)

Major subtractions: Will Barton (Washington), Monté Morris (Washington),
JaMychal Green (Golden State), Austin Rivers (Minnesota)

Did this team get better? I love what the Denver Nuggets did, and they
absolutely got better, even though they lose Tim Connelly from the front
office. Trading for Caldwell-Pope was a big addition for a team that needs
his shooting and more importantly his defense. Smith should help as a safety
net for the times when Bones Hyland still shows his inexperience. Brown is a
great pickup for them, and his cutting will be great for playing off Nikola
Jokic. This team is getting Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. back, and we
don’t know what that will look like. We know the potential, but we don’t
know the reality of their bodies returning. But this Nuggets team is loaded
and could skyrocket up these rankings.

9.丹佛金塊

主要補強:Kentavious Caldwell-Pope(交易),Ish Smith(交易),Bruce Brown Jr.(FA),
Christian Braun(選秀),Peyton Watson(選秀),DeAndre Jordan(FA)

主要流失:Will Barton(華盛頓),Monte Morris(華盛頓),JaMychal Green(金州),AustinRivers(明尼蘇達)

這隊有變強嗎?即使他們制服組失去了Tim Connelly,我愛金塊所做的事並絕對變更好了。交易來Caldwell-Pope是個大補強因為他們需要他的投射以及更重要的防守。Smith應該可以為Bones Hyland成長不如預期時設下保險。Brown是個不錯的簽約,他的空手切配合
Nikola Jokic將會很棒。這一隊還會有Jamal Murray與Michael Porter Jr.回歸,但我們不知道他們會看起來怎樣。我們知道他們的潛力,但我們不知道他們身體回歸時的真實情況。但這隻金塊隊戰力十足並可能在排名中如同火箭般飛竄。

10. Atlanta Hawks
Major additions: Dejounte Murray (trade), Mo Harkless (trade), Justin Holiday(trade), AJ Griffin (draft), Frank Kaminsky (free agent), Aaron Holiday (freeagent)

Major subtractions: Kevin Huerter (Sacramento), Danilo Gallinari (Boston),
Kevin Knox (Detroit), Delon Wright (Washington), Gorgui Dieng (San Antonio)

Did this team get better? The Atlanta Hawks had a brilliant offseason and
very much improved. The trade for Murray gives them a great complement to
Trae Young in the backcourt on both ends of the floor. Losing Huerter and
Gallinari can be tough, but bringing in Justin Holiday is a good plug for theperimeter in this rotation. The Hawks knew they couldn’t just bring the
group back that disappointed last season under expectations. They needed somenew blood, and now they have a real chance to build something dangerous in
the loaded Eastern Conference.

10.亞特蘭大老鷹

主要補強:Dejounte Murray(交易),Mo Harkless(交易),Justin Holiday(交易),AJ
Griffin(選秀),Frank Kaminsky(FA),Aaron Holiday(FA)

主要流失:Kevin Huerter(沙加緬度),Danilo Gallinari(波士頓),Kevin Knox(底特律),Delon Wright(華盛頓),Gorgui Dieng(聖安東尼奧)

這隊有變強嗎?亞特蘭大老鷹有個聰明的休賽季並進步了非常多。Murray交易案給了TraeYoung無論攻守兩端都很合的搭檔。失去Huerter與Gallinari可能會很難受,但帶回JustinHoliday對於輪值來說補進了很棒的外圍球員。老鷹在去年賽季的不如預期之後知道他們不能只是把現有的人留下而已。他們需要新血,而現在他們有真正的機會來在東區成為威脅。
11. LA Clippers
Major additions: John Wall (free agent)

Major subtractions: Isaiah Hartenstein (New York)

Did this team get better? The LA Clippers did get better, even though losing
Hartenstein turned out to be a big deal. John Wall should be a great
complement to what these guys want to do, even if he’s not the John Wall of
old. But this Clippers team’s improvement has everything to do with the
health of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. The Clippers could easily be a
top-five team all season long if they’re healthy. They can play with
anybody, and they can be contenders. But after the last few years of their
lack of health/bad luck, it’s difficult to outright believe in what they
will be. We just know what they can be. Let’s hope they’re healthy enough
to make this 11th ranking look foolish.

11.洛杉磯快艇

主要補強:John Wall(FA)

主要流失:Isaiah Hartenstein(紐約)

這隊有變強嗎?洛杉磯快艇是有變強,雖然失去Hartenstein變得非常巨大。John Wall應該能很好的融入這支團隊,即使他不再是過去的John Wall了。但這隻快艇的進步完全是在於Kawhi Leonard與Paul George的健康狀態。快艇非常有可能成為整季前五的球隊,前提是他們健康。他們可以跟任何人對決,他們也可以是強力競爭者。但在過去幾年他們的不健康/厄運之後,很難直接無腦的相信他們能達到的高度。我們知道他們能成為甚麼。讓我們希望他們可以夠健康來讓這個第11名看起來很愚蠢。

12. Toronto Raptors
Major additions: Otto Porter Jr. (free agent), Juancho Hernangomez (free
agent)

Major subtractions: Isaac Bonga (free agent), Yuta Watanabe (free agent)

Did this team get better? The Toronto Raptors did get marginally better with
role players, but we’re trying to figure out if Masai Ujiri is going to make
a massive swing for Durant. The pickups of Porter and Hernangomez (aka “Bo
Cruz”) were nice, and re-signing Thaddeus Young was key, but it didn’t
address their lack of size in trying to contain someone like playoff foe JoelEmbiid. The Raptors are a really good and underappreciated team, though.
Their versatility defensively, especially on the perimeter, is what fuels
them, but what we saw out of Scottie Barnes as a rookie raises the potential.They didn’t make any big changes yet but getting this team to jell a bit
more is the real plan … unless they can get KD.

12.多倫多暴龍

主要補強:Otto Porter Jr.(FA),Juancho Hernangomez(FA)

主要流失:Isaac Bonga(FA),渡邊雄太(FA)

這隊有變強嗎?多倫多暴龍的確有在角色球員變強些,但我們還在想Masai Ujiri有沒有要買進Durant。簽下Porter與Hernangomez(AKA "Bo Cruz")很不錯,且簽回Thaddeus Young很關鍵,但這並沒有解決他們缺乏大隻佬的問題在季後賽防守如Embiid這種球員會很有困擾。暴龍是一隻非常棒且沒有受到應有肯定的隊伍。他們防守上的多工性,尤其是外圍,是他們上升的燃料,且我們在菜鳥Scottie Barnes的表現中看到他們更高的上限。他們還沒做出任何重大改變但是把這支球隊變得更加穩固是真正的計畫...除非他們可以得到KD。

13. Chicago Bulls

Major additions: Goran Dragic (free agent), Andre Drummond (free agent),
Dalen Terry (draft)

Major subtractions: Tristan Thompson (free agent), Troy Brown Jr. (Lakers)

Did this team get better? I think they did, as long as Drummond plays as he
did in Brooklyn. He found his role and some comfort with it, so adding that
depth behind Nikola Vucevic would be big. Dragic adds to a loaded backcourt,
but health could make opportunities scarce for them. The Chicago Bulls missedout on Rudy Gobert, but they re-signed Zach LaVine to keep this team
together. When this team was healthy, they played great basketball, so maybe
they didn’t need big changes. They do need to find a consistent defensive
identity, but maybe a healthy Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso fixes that enough?
The Bulls are super talented, but they need to prove that matters against topteams and in the postseason.

13.芝加哥公牛

主要補強:Goran Dragic(FA), Andre Drummond(FA),Dalen Terry(選秀)

主要流失:Tristan Thompson(FA),Troy Brown Jr.(湖人)

這隊有變強嗎?我覺得他們有,只要Drummond繳出他在布魯克林的表現。他終於找到自己的定位與一些舒適圈,所以增加在Vucevic之後的深度影響會很大。Dragic加入了人手充足的後場,但健康可能會讓這個機會很稀少。芝加哥公牛沒拿到Rudy Gober但他們簽回了ZachLaVine來維持現有的陣容。當這隊是健康的時候,他們打出很棒的籃球,所以他們可能不需要大改變。他們事需要找到穩定的防守定位,但也許健康的Lonzo Ball與Alex Caruso可以修正這一切?公牛非常有天分,但他們需要證明他們能在季後賽對決頂尖球隊時能有一戰之力。
