T4 附加賽球隊

14. Minnesota Timberwolves
Major additions: Rudy Gobert (trade), Kyle Anderson (free agent), Austin
Rivers (free agent), Wendell Moore Jr. (draft), Bryn Forbes (free agent),
Josh Minott (free agent)

Major subtractions: Patrick Beverley (Utah), Jarred Vanderbilt (Utah), Malik
Beasley (Utah), Leandro Bolmaro (Utah), Josh Okogie (Phoenix)

Did this team get better? They absolutely did. The Minnesota Timberwolves
took massive swings this offseason. They put Tim Connelly in charge of the
team after the impressive job he did in Denver. Then he traded for Gobert by
sending out important role players and a historic amount of first-round draftcapital. And it broke the basketball internet for a bit. Gobert has had some
massive problems in the playoffs, but the Wolves have had some massive
problems just getting to the playoffs. Now with Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns,
Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell, they believe they should win 50 games
every year and at least get to the second round before seeing how high they
can climb. If they did that for three straight seasons, it would be the best
stretch in Wolves history. But is that good enough to get them to the title?
And can they avoid those picks to Utah biting Minnesota in the long run?
Every pickup they made this summer (free agency and draft) were great
additions.

14.明尼蘇達灰狼

主要補強: Rudy Gobert(交易),Kyle Anderson(FA),Austin Rivers(FA),Wendell MooreJr.(選秀),Bryn Forbes(FA),Josh Minott(FA)

主要流失:Patrick Beverley(猶他),Jarred Vanderbilt(猶他),Malik Beasley(猶他),
Leandro Bolmaro(猶他),Josh Okogie(鳳凰城)

這隊有變強嗎?他們當然有。灰狼在在這個休賽期奮力一揮。他們在Tim Connelly於金塊達成出色的成果後聘請了他。他也旋即交易出了幾個角色球員與歷史性數量的首輪資本換取Gobert。這也引起籃球網路譁然。Gobert在季後賽有不少的問題,但灰狼連進到季後賽都有不少問題了。在現在有Gobert,Karl Anthony-Towns,Anthony Edwards與D'Angelo Russell他們相信自己在看到頂點前應該是個穩定50勝的隊伍並至少能進到第二輪。如果他們能連續三季達成那將會是灰狼隊史新高。但這足以讓他們拿到一座冠軍嗎?然後他們能夠避免那些首輪代價反噬他們之前都長期維持好戰績嗎?他們今年夏天所有的補強(FA與選秀)都是很不錯的動作。

15. New Orleans Pelicans
Major additions: Dyson Daniels (draft)

Major subtractions: Tony Snell (free agent)

Did this team get better? From a talent standpoint? Not really. The New
Orleans Pelicans grabbed Daniels in the draft, and he’s a fun prospect. But
he’s probably not cracking this deep rotation unless he’s absurdly good
right away or there are big injuries. That’s OK. Where this team gets better
is Zion Williamson being back and healthy (for now). Throwing him into the
mix with what the Pelicans were over the final 60 games of the season is an
incredible addition. This team is so deep and so talented. There’s a massive
amount of firepower on this squad. Williamson’s extension also removes a lot
of potential drama from the questions he gets all season. Now it’s just
about hooping and seeing what they can transform into. But the West is packedwith good teams, so they still have to fight for positioning.

15.紐奧良鵜鶘

主要補強:Dyson Daniels(選秀)

主要流失:Tony Snell(FA)

這隊有變強嗎?天賦面來說?不太有。紐奧良鵜鶘在選秀中抓下了Daniels而他是一名有趣的新秀。但他不太可能對現有的深陣容造成甚麼影響除非他打得荒謬的好或是有重大傷病。那是OK的。這隊變好是好在Zion Williamson的回歸與健康(至少現在)。把Zion加進這個上一季後60場表現的鵜鶘是非常棒的。這隊有著十足的天賦與深度。這一個組合還有十足的火力。Williamson的延長合約也移除掉了很多潛在的與他耐戰力相關的抓馬。現在就只等著打球以及看他們能變態成甚麼東西。不過西區有很多好球隊,他們仍需奮鬥才能獲得季後賽席次。

16. Brooklyn Nets

Major additions: Royce O’Neale (trade), T.J. Warren (free agent)

Major subtractions: Goran Dragic (Chicago), Andre Drummond (Chicago), Bruce
Brown Jr. (Denver)

Did this team get better? Let’s just say no for now. Bringing in O’Neale
and Warren while losing Dragic, Drummond and Brown can be sliced and analyzedin a bunch of different ways. Warren needs to be healthy, but let’s be
honest: None of these moves matter until the drama is settled for the
Brooklyn Nets. Do we think Durant is going to be traded? I don’t know. Is
Kyrie Irving out the door? I don’t know. Even if he’s remains this season,
do we expect him to play even half the season? I don’t know. Is Ben Simmons
going to return to form? I have no idea. The Nets are full of questions, and
there aren’t many answers. For now, let’s just put them firmly in the
middle of these rankings.

16.布魯克林籃網

主要補強:Royce O'Neale(交易),T.J. Warren(FA)

主要流失:Goran Dragic(芝加哥),Andre Drummond(芝加哥),Bruce Brown Jr.(丹佛)

這隊有變強嗎?至少現在來說沒有。簽下O'Neale與Warren但同時失去Dragic,Drummond與Brown可以用許多方式分解與剖析。Warren需要健康,但我們誠實點:這些在布魯克林籃網的抓馬結束以前都不重要。我們會認為Durant會被交易嗎?窩不知道。Kyrie Irving要走了嗎?窩不知道。即使他這季留隊了我們要期待他至少打半個賽季嗎?窩不知道。Ben Simmons會回到球隊並找回狀態嗎?窩不知道。籃網問題太多了,且沒有很多答案。至少現在我就把他們擺在這個排名中間。

(個人心得:窩不知道)

17. Cleveland Cavaliers
Major additions: Ricky Rubio (free agent), Robin Lopez (free agent), Ochai
Agbaji (draft), Raul Neto (free agent)

Major subtractions: Rajon Rondo (free agent), Ed Davis (free agent)

Did this team get better? They did, and we should probably expect Collin
Sexton’s deal to get done sooner rather than later. Hopefully he can give a
healthy campaign to this Cleveland Cavaliers team that took a big step
forward last season. The Cavs fizzled out with the injuries, but they zigged
when others zagged by competing with huge lineups in the modern NBA. BringingRubio back (assuming he’s healthy from the ACL) is an upgrade. Lopez is good
depth for a loaded frontcourt. This team didn’t lose much, and they bring
back experience that matters. The improvement of newly wealthy man Darius
Garland and star sophomore Evan Mobley probably dictates the most for next
season. Can they avoid the Play-In and make the top six?

17.克里夫蘭騎士

主要補強:Ricky Rubio(FA),Robin Lopez(FA),Ochai Agbaji(選秀),Raul Neto(FA)

主要流失:Rajon Rondo(FA),Ed Davis(FA)

這隊有變強嗎?他們有,而且我們應該要期待Collin Sexton遲早會簽約。希望他這季可以維持健康並將這隻克里夫蘭騎士帶到比去年更高的層級。去年騎士被傷病逐漸的打垮,但他們採取了反現代NBA潮流的大型陣容。帶回Rubio(假如他從ACL傷病滿血回歸)是個升級。
Lopez對於已經很滿的前場是個深度保證。這一隊沒有損失很多並帶回了有影響力的經驗。新簽大約的Darius Garland的進步以及明星二年級生Evan Mobley可能會在下一季展現統治力。他們能避免附加賽並打進前6嗎?

18. Los Angeles Lakers
Major additions: Lonnie Walker IV (free agent), Thomas Bryant (free agent),
Troy Brown Jr. (free agent), Damian Jones (free agent), Juan Toscano-Anderson(free agent), Darvin Ham (head coach)

Major subtractions: Malik Monk (Sacramento), Carmelo Anthony (free agent),
Dwight Howard (free agent), Wayne Ellington (free agent), Avery Bradley (freeagent), Kent Bazemore (free agent), Frank Vogel (head coach)

Did this team get better? I have no idea, honestly, because they shouldn’t
have been that bad last season. I know that’s not a satisfactory answer, but
what do you even do with this Los Angeles Lakers squad? Darvin Ham is the bigmove here. It proves whether or not Frank Vogel can be the scapegoat for lastseason. I don’t think Russell Westbrook is going anywhere, so the Lakers
have to figure out how to do what’s needed to win games. They didn’t do
that last season. The defense was terrible. It will all rest on LeBron James
and Anthony Davis being healthy. Walker, Brown and Bryant are good pickups,
but are they definitely better than the talent headed out the door in free
agency? Hopefully, they’re more cohesive.

18.洛杉磯湖人

主要補強:Lonnie Walker IV(FA),Thomas Bryant(FA),Troy Brown Jr.(FA),Damian Jones(FA),Juan Toscano-Anderson(FA),Darvin Ham(總教練)

主要流失:Malik Monk(沙加緬度),Carmelo Anthony(FA),Dwight Howard(FA),Wayne
Ellington(FA),Avery Bradley(FA),Kent Bazemore(FA),Frank Vogel(總教練)

這隊有變強嗎?窩不知道,誠實說,因為他們上一季不應該那麼爛。我知道那不是個令人滿意的答案,但我們要對這隻湖人隊做甚麼?Darvin Ham是個大動作。這能證明Frank Vogel上一季到底是不是個代罪羔羊。我不認為Russell Westbrook會去任何地方,所以湖人需要想出贏下比賽的方法與代價。他們上一季沒有那麼做。防守很糟糕。這完全會仰賴LeBron
James與Anthony Davis的健康。Walker,Brown與Bryant都是不錯的簽約但他們有勝過成為自由球員的天賦嗎?希望啦,他們可以更團結。

T5 想打進附加賽的球隊

19. Portland Trail Blazers
Major additions: Jerami Grant (trade), Gary Payton II (free agent), Shaedon
Sharpe (draft)

Major subtractions: Joe Ingles (Milwaukee), Eric Bledsoe (free agent)

Did this team get better? The Portland Trail Blazers absolutely got better. It’s kind of hard not to after the brutal end to the season they had. The
Blazers set the record for most 30-point losses in a season with 15 (the
previous record was 10). Damian Lillard is back, and that will help. They
brought back Anfernee Simons on a nine-figure deal. The pickups of Grant and
Payton should help Chauncey Billups get this team to have a bigger impact
defensively. Sharpe is a project, but a fun project. The Blazers are going tobe back, but is it enough to guarantee them a spot in the postseason? Do theyhave to prove they can make the Play-In at least in a reloaded West?

19.波特蘭拓荒者

主要補強:Jerami Grant(交易),Gary Payton II(FA),Shaedon Sharpe(選秀)

主要流失:Joe Ingles(密爾瓦基),Eric Bledsoe(FA)

這隊有變強嗎?波特蘭拓荒者當然變強了。在上一個殘酷結尾的賽季之後很難不進步。拓荒者創下了最多30分+以上的15場輸球(原紀錄只有10而已)。Damian Lillard回來了,這將會有幫助。他們用一個9位數合約簽回了Anfernee Simons。取得Grant與Payton應該能幫助Chauncey Billups讓這隊有更好的防守影響力。Sharpe是個計畫,但是是個有趣的計畫。拓荒者會回來,但這足以讓他們在季後賽確保一個席次嗎?他們需要證明他們可以至少在競爭又變得激烈的西區拿下附加賽的名次嗎?

20. New York Knicks
Major additions: Jalen Brunson (free agent), Isaiah Hartenstein (free agent),Trevor Keels (draft)

Major subtractions: Alec Burks (Detroit), Nerlens Noel (Detroit), Kemba
Walker (Detroit), Taj Gibson (Washington)

Did this team get better? Definitely. The New York Knicks lose some solid
role players in Burks and Noel, but the pickups of Brunson and Hartenstein
are significant. Brunson will have a ton of pressure on him to take this
Knicks team to the next level after signing a deal over $100 million. And he
does have to perform. But the Knicks’ success will likely depend on how much
Julius Randle bounces back from an atrocious year. I love the Hartenstein
pickup. He was a really nice defensive presence. This Knicks team needs to
grow up as a collective, and Brunson being a steady presence should help thatimprove.

20.紐約尼克

主要補強:Jalen Brunson(FA),Isaiah Hartenstein(FA),Trevor Keels(選秀)

主要流失:Alec Burks(底特律),Nerlens Noel(底特律),Kemba Walker(底特律),Taj
Gibson(華盛頓)

這隊有變強嗎?當然。紐約尼克喪失了幾個穩定的角色球員如Burks和Noel但簽下Brunson與Hartenstein很重要。Brunson在簽下超過100M的合約後將會在尼克面對成噸的壓力。他也的確要好好表現。但尼克的成功看起來還是仰仗於Julius Randle從上一個慘淡的賽季反彈的程度。我愛Hartenstein的簽約。他有很棒的防守存在感。這支尼克隊需要整體的成長且Brunson穩定的存在應該能幫助他們進步。

21. Washington Wizards
Major additions: Will Barton (trade), Monté Morris (trade), Delon Wright
(free agent), Johnny Davis (draft), Taj Gibson (free agent)

Major subtractions: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Denver), Ish Smith (Denver),
Thomas Bryant (Lakers)

Did this team get better? I really like what the Washington Wizards did.
Barton is not as good as Caldwell-Pope, but Morris is an upgrade over Smith.
Bringing Wright to help balance out the versatility of the backcourt is big,
and maybe Davis can contribute quickly. The keys to the Wizards are the
health/availability of the quarter-billion-dollar man Bradley Beal, and his
partnership with Kristaps Porzingis. We don’t have anything but theory when
it comes to how they’ll fit together, and both players need to prove health
is on their side.

21.華盛頓巫師

主要補強:Will Barton(交易),Monte Morris(交易),Delon Wright(FA),Johnny Davis(選秀),Taj Gibson(FA)

主要流失:Kentavious Caldwell-Pope(丹佛),Ish Smith(丹佛),Thomas Bryant(湖人)

這隊有變強嗎?我真的很喜歡華盛頓巫師做的事。Will Barton沒有Caldwell-Pope那麼好,但Morris相較於Smith來說是個升級。簽下Wright來平衡後場的功能性很巨大,且Davis可能很快就可以做出貢獻了。巫師的關鍵在於四分之一B的男人Bradley Beal的健康/可上場度與他和Kristaps Porzingis的契合度。我們只能用理論去猜他們的合適度,／而且兩位球員都各自必須證明自己的健康。

22. Charlotte Hornets
Major additions: Mark Williams (draft), Bryce McGowens (draft), Steve
Clifford (head coach)

Major subtractions: Montrezl Harrell (free agent), Miles Bridges (restricted
free agent), James Borrego (head coach)

Did this team get better? It feels trite to try to offer analysis in light ofthe serious situation involving Hornets forward Miles Bridges, who was
charged with felony domestic violence and child abuse in Los Angeles last
month. As far as basketball-related moves go, star guard LaMelo Ball needs
another leap forward, and the supporting cast needs to be in unison in
complementing his stardom on the court. This team couldn’t play defense last
season, so the return of Steve Clifford is hopefully going to fix that. The
Hornets had a nice draft, but it’s tough to expect any of those guys to
contribute. The Hornets might be stuck in neutral if Ball doesn’t bounce
forward even more.

22.夏洛特黃蜂

主要補強:Mark Williams(選秀),Bryce McGowens(選秀),Steve Clifford(總教練)

主要流失:Montrezl Harrell(FA),Miles Bridges(RFA),James Borrego(總教練)

這隊有變強嗎?在上個月洛杉磯涉入嚴重家暴與虐童案的Miles Bridges的狀況結束之前分析都有點陳腔濫調。至少籃球相關的動作來說,明星後衛LaMelo Ball需要另一個長足的進步且配角們都需要能與他的星度共鳴。這隊上一季無法打出好的防守,所以Steve Clifford的回歸希望可以修正這個問題。這支黃蜂有著不錯的選秀,但非常難期待這些人可以在下一季做出貢獻。黃蜂可能會卡在不上不下的窘境如果Ball沒有再前進更多。

23. Utah Jazz
Major additions: Jarred Vanderbilt (trade), Patrick Beverley (trade), Malik
Beasley (trade), Leandro Bolmaro (trade), Walker Kessler (trade), Will Hardy
(head coach)

Major subtractions: Rudy Gobert (Minnesota), Royce O’Neale (Brooklyn), Eric
Paschall (free agent), Danuel House (Philadelphia), Juancho Hernangomez
(Toronto), Quin Snyder (head coach)

Did this team get better? No, and they’re trending toward getting even
worse. The Utah Jazz moved Gobert for an obscene amount of draft capital and
a bunch of role players they might try to move even more. Mike Conley and
Bojan Bogdanovic will be on their way out if the Jazz can find assets for
them. Danny Ainge is tearing this thing down and hoping to rebuild something
similar or maybe even better than what he put together in Boston with this
current team. The swap of Quin Snyder for Will Hardy on the sidelines will bea downgrade for now, but Hardy is very well-respected around the NBA. Now we
just wonder when/if Donovan Mitchell gets moved and where he gets moved.
If/when they do, No. 23 is going to be way too high for this Jazz team.

23.猶他爵士

主要補強:Jarred Vanderbilt(交易),Patrick Beverley(交易),Malik Beasley(交易),
Leandro Bolmaro(交易),Walker Kessler(交易),Will Hardy(總教練)

主要流失:Rudy Gobert(明尼蘇達),Royce O'Neale(布魯克林),Eric Paschall(FA),DanuelHouse(費城),Juancho Hernangomez(多倫多),Quin Snyder(總教練)

這隊有變強嗎?沒有,而且他們在往更爛的方向走。猶他爵士賣掉了Gobert並喚回了駭人聽聞的選秀資產與角色球員並可能會再做更多交易。Mike Conley與Bojan Bogdanovic也會在離開爵士的路上並爵士會換回一些資產。Danny Ainge正在撕裂這支球隊並希望能複製甚至是進化他在波士頓的經驗。撤換Quin Snyder並聘請Will Hardy作為教練現在可能是個降級,但Hardy在NBA中已經取得不錯的尊重。現在我們只需要思考Donovan Mitchell會不會/何時會被賣掉及賣到哪。如果/當他們賣了之後,23對爵士來說絕對太高了。

24. Sacramento Kings
Major additions: Keegan Murray (draft), Kevin Huerter (trade), Malik Monk
(free agent), Mike Brown (head coach)

Major subtractions: Mo Harkless (Atlanta), Justin Holiday (Atlanta), Donte
DiVincenzo (Golden State), Alvin Gentry (head coach)

Did this team get better? The Sacramento Kings did get better. Murray looks
like a strong rookie, but rookies rarely make significant impacts on actuallywinning games. The Huerter pickup was very savvy of Monte McNair. However,
trusting the Kings has rarely been a fruitful endeavor for anybody, so there
needs to be hesitancy in trusting them to take a step forward. The Kings werenot good after bringing Domantas Sabonis into the mix. The team can’t defend
when he and De’Aaron Fox are on the court, which sounds like a sample size
issue until you see their efforts defensively for their respective careers.
Mike Brown has a lot to fix on that end of the floor, and the Kings don’t
exactly have a lot of personnel to make you feel like they can do that.
However, the offense should be pretty good.

24.沙加緬度國王

主要補強:Keegan Murray(選秀),Kevin Huerter(交易),Malik Monk(FA),Mike Brown(總教練)

主要流失:Mo Harkless(亞特蘭大),Justin Holiday(亞特蘭大),Donte DiVincenzo(金州),,Alvin Gentry(總教練)

這隊有變強嗎?沙加緬度國王是變強了。Murray看起來像個很強的新秀,但新秀很少能對真正贏下球賽產生巨量的影響。Huerter的簽約是Monte McNair很聰明的舉動。但是,應該是很少人能長期且滿溢的相信國王了,相信他們能更進一步是一件令人猶豫不決的事。國王在交易來了Domantas Sabonic依然不好。球隊在他與De'Aaron Fox同時在場上時防守不佳,雖然可能是樣本數問題但你在看到他們各自生涯的防守後可能就...。Mike Brown在攻防兩端都有很多東西要修正,但國王並沒有很多的人手讓你感覺他們能做到。不過,進攻應該是不錯啦。

25. Detroit Pistons
Major additions: Jaden Ivey (draft), Jalen Duren (draft), Kemba Walker
(trade), Alec Burks (trade), Nerlens Noel (trade)

Major subtractions: Jerami Grant (Portland)

Did this team get better? First and foremost, the Detroit Pistons brought
back the teal jerseys. That’s a massive victory for them, and if you
disagree, I want you to know you’re bad and you should feel bad. The Pistons
are going to be everybody’s favorite dark horse team for League Pass.
Everybody is going to pretend to be in on them leading up to the season. The
key for them is figuring out if they can keep those eyeballs into 2023. Troy
Weaver, aka the Grim Weaver, had a great draft with Ivey and Duren. Burks andNoel are good role player pickups (is Kemba Walker gone yet?). But losing
Grant matters, and this is still a very young core. Fans will probably think
No. 25 is disrespectful, and maybe it ends being that way. But this is a teamthat needs to carry the winning of the final two months into a new season.
That’s far easier said than done, but this is going to be a fun team all
year. If they can be in the Play-In mix by mid-March, that’s a huge win.

25.底特律活塞

主要補強:Jaden Ivey(選秀),Jalen Duren(選秀),Kemba Walker(交易),Alec Burks(交易),Nerlens Noel(交易)

主要流失:Jerami Grant(波特蘭)

這隊有變強嗎?第一也是最重要的,底特律活塞重回青綠色球衣了。這是他們的重大勝利,如果你不同意我想讓你知道你很爛你也該覺得你很爛。活塞會變成大家League Pass上面最喜歡的黑馬(真正意義上的)。他家都認為他們下一季會更好。關鍵在於他們要在2023找到一個能留住那些眼球的方法。Troy Weaver,aka嚴肅Weaver,選秀繳出好成績選下了Ivey與
Duren。Burks與Noel都是簽下的好角色球員(Kemba Walker應該走了?)。但失去Grant會有影響且這是個還非常年輕的核心。粉絲可能會想第25名很不受尊重,這也有可能到最後是這樣。但這是一支需要把上一季最後兩個月的好表現帶到新賽季的球隊。這說的比做的簡單,但這會是一支明年整年有趣的球隊。如果他們能在三月中以前的混戰競爭附加賽,這會是場巨大勝利。

T6 我們早就知道你們在練兵坦克了

26. Oklahoma City Thunder
Major additions: Chet Holmgren (draft), Ousmane Dieng (draft), Jalen Williams(draft), Jaylin Williams (draft)

Major subtractions: Isaiah Roby (San Antonio)

Did this team get better? The Oklahoma City Thunder are going to be better
than they were last season, assuming they don’t shut down a bunch of people
for the second half of it … again. Holmgren is the attention-getter of their
offseason acquisitions, and no offense to Isaiah Roby, but they didn’t
really lose anybody. They’ve outright tried to wage war on media members and
broadcasters all over the world by drafting Jalen Williams AND Jaylin
Williams. Jalen Williams from Santa Clara might be my favorite pickup they
had in the draft. The Thunder are still in asset-gathering mode until Sam
Presti feels he has the star power to develop, but this team should be prettyinteresting. They need Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to stay healthy, and Luguentz
Dort’s new deal will put pressure on him to perform offensively.

26.奧克拉荷馬雷霆

主要補強:Chet Holmgren(選秀),Ousmane Dieng(選秀),Jalen Williams(選秀),Jaylin
Williams(選秀)

主要流失:Isaiah Roby(聖安東尼奧)

這隊有變強嗎?奧克拉荷馬雷霆會變得比他們上季更強,假設他們不會又一次把一堆人在後半球季關機...的話。Holmgren是個休賽季補強的吸睛點,然後不是要冒犯Isaiah Roby,但他們真的沒有損失任何人。他們就是要讓媒體人與主播產生戰爭才同時選下了Jalen
Williams與Jaylin Williams。來是聖塔克拉拉的Jalen Williams可能是他們的選秀中我最喜歡的。雷霆還在累積資產的模式直到Sam Presti感覺他有了足夠的球星戰力來發展,不過這隊應該會蠻有趣的。他們需要Shai Gilgeous-Alexander維持健康,及Luguentz Dort的新合約可以成為他進攻表現的原動力。

27. Houston Rockets
Major additions: Jabari Smith Jr. (draft), Tari Eason (draft), TyTy
Washington Jr. (draft), Boban Marjanovic (trade), Marquese Chriss (trade)

Major subtractions: Christian Wood (Dallas), John Wall (Clippers), Trevelin
Queen (Philadelphia), Dennis Schroder (free agent)

Did this team get better? In terms of talent on the team, the Houston Rocketsare still probably in the same boat we saw last season. John Wall didn’t
play, so his leaving doesn’t impact them in games. Wood is better than the
rookie version of Smith, but Wood wasn’t exactly bringing the Rockets
winning basketball. Once again, Rafael Stone had a phenomenal draft. The
Rockets have so much potential, but it will take a long time to mold that
potential into winning basketball. Great rebuild since the James Harden
trade. Stephen Silas has a lot to utilize.

27.休士頓火箭

主要補強:Jabari Smith Jr.(選秀),Tari Eason(選秀),TyTy Washington Jr.(選秀),
Boban Marjanovic(交易),Marquese Chriss(交易)

主要流失:Christian Wood(達拉斯),John Wall(快艇),Trevelin Queen(費城),Dennis
Schroder(FA)

這隊有變強嗎?如果是講天賦的話,休士頓火箭可能還是與上一季同樣的一支隊伍。John
Wall沒有打,所以他的離開並不影響他們的球賽。Wood比菜鳥版本的Smith好但他沒有帶給火箭會贏的籃球。再一次,Rafael Stone有個很漂亮的選秀。火箭有滿滿的潛力但這需要很長的時間才能轉換成贏球。自從James Harden離開之後他們有很棒的重建。Stephen Silas將會有很多東西可以利用。

28. Orlando Magic
Major additions: Paolo Banchero (draft), Caleb Houstan (draft)

Major subtractions: Robin Lopez (Cleveland)

Did this team get better? They did, but it will take some time to show it.
Banchero has all the makings of a franchise guy. We saw some really
encouraging moments with the young players on this team last season. But theystill need to figure out how to win basketball games, and that takes a lot oftime for a young group to figure out. I like them re-signing Gary Harris and
Mo Bamba, but they need some more veteran presences on this squad for wins,
especially if they end up moving Terrence Ross this season. A big season for
Jalen Suggs will help galvanize this group.

28.奧蘭多魔術

主要補強:Paolo Banchero(選秀),Caleb Houstan(選秀)

主要流失:Robin Lopez(克里夫蘭)

這隊有變強嗎?他們有,但他們會需要一些時間展現。Banchero有所有可以成為建隊基石的組成。我們在上一季從這些年輕球員身上看到許多令人振奮的時刻。但他們仍需要想出如何贏下球賽,而這對這個年輕團隊來說需要很多時間才能想出來。我喜歡他們簽回Gary
Harris與Mo Bamba的動作,但他們需要更多老將的存在才能贏球,尤其再他們送走TerrenceRoss之後。如果Jalen Suggs打出重大的賽季將能振奮這個團隊。

29. Indiana Pacers
Major additions: Bennedict Mathurin (draft), Daniel Theis (trade), Aaron
Nesmith (trade), Andrew Nembhard (draft)

Major subtractions: Malcolm Brogdon (Boston), Ricky Rubio (Cleveland), T.J.
Warren (Brooklyn)

Did this team get better? No, and I believe the Indiana Pacers are going to
look to get even worse. They’re embracing the rebuild, which we started to
see when they moved Domantas Sabonis at the trade deadline. Brogdon got movedto Boston for not much in return. Myles Turner and Buddy Hield are expected
to be on the move at some point. The Pacers realized mediocrity with the
previous crew wasn’t good enough for their fans, so they’re giving
themselves a makeover. Love the Mathurin selection, and he’ll be a fun
player with Tyrese Haliburton to entice the fans.

29.印第安那溜馬

主要補強:Bennedict Mathurin(選秀),Daniel Theis(交易),Aaron Nesmith(交易),AndrewNembhard(選秀)

主要流失:Malcolm Brogdon(波士頓),Ricky Rubio(克里夫蘭),T.J. Warren(布魯克林)

這隊有變強嗎?沒有,而且我相信溜馬應該會再變的更爛。在他們在大限時送走Domantas
Sabonis就知道他們正在擁抱重建。Brogdon被送到波士頓且並沒有換回很多東西。MylesTurner與Buddy Hield也應該都會在某個時間被送走。溜馬理解到前團隊的平庸對他們的粉絲來說並不夠好所以要給自己一個從頭來過。我愛Mathurin的選擇而他會是個有趣的球員並能與Tyrese Haliburton一同吸引粉絲。

30. San Antonio Spurs
Major additions: Jeremy Sochan (draft), Malaki Branham (draft), Blake Wesley
(draft), Gorgui Dieng (free agent)

Major subtractions: Dejounte Murray (Atlanta), Danilo Gallinari (Boston),
Lonnie Walker IV (Lakers)

Did this team get better? Absolutely not, and that’s the design. Ever since
Kawhi Leonard was traded, the San Antonio Spurs have been struggling to find
that next franchise guy. After a fairly brief dance with DeMar DeRozan, the
Spurs have now sent Murray to Atlanta and gone full youth movement to embracethe tank. They added three intriguing rookies to the mix. This rebuild
project will likely target Victor Wembanyama — the Tim Burton character from
France. Develop the young guys this year and hope you’re graced with lottery
luck as we saw in 1997.

30.聖安東尼奧馬刺

主要補強:Jeremy Sochan(選秀),Malaki Branham(選秀),Blake Wesley(選秀),Gorgui
Dieng(FA)

主要流失:Dejounte Murray(亞特蘭大),Danilo Gallinari(波士頓),Lonnie Walker IV
(湖人)

這隊有變強嗎?當然沒有,而且這是計畫之中的。自從Kawhi Leonard被交易之後,聖安東尼奧馬刺一直在找到下一個建隊基石中掙扎。在DeMar DeRozen的短暫一舞之後,馬刺送走
Murray去亞特蘭大並獲得滿滿的年輕動力來擁抱坦克。他們選了三個耐人尋味的新秀。這個重建計畫應該會瞄準Victor Wembanyama--法國版本的Tim Burton角色。發展現有的年輕人並希望他們的樂透運能跟1997的時候一樣好。

(完。)

但老實說...好像也沒啥特別好講的 要細講就不是Power Ranking了

應該就純粹他是舊球衣的粉絲XD

是沒錯 但我覺得1/4B比較貼近原文XD

但是你要把一場都沒打的新秀預設他們有很大的影響力也不太對阿 這種就是看每個人的主觀衡量了

謝謝~

那個我看到時也頓了一下XD
