Spend 820 million US dollars, maintaining the strongest formation! Can the Rockets Nuggets sign aid defeat the defending champion?

The Celtics have broken up the Super Five lineup this summer offseason, and Tatum has suffered an injury. The Celtics will no longer be the favorite team to win the championship next season. Can the Pacers, Knicks, Bucks, and 76ers, these Eastern Conference strong teams be compared with the Thunder? It's very difficult. The West is strong and the East is weak. The Thunder team spent money crazily this summer to maintain their original winning lineup. Super MVP + Champion + FMVP winner, Alexander renewed his contract for 285 million US dollars in four years. Jaylen Williams also renewed his contract for 287 million US dollars in five years, and Homgren renewed his contract for 250 million US dollars in five years. This time, the Thunder management refused to make a mistake and settled the contract renewal of the three super star giants early.

U.S. media ESPN officially predicts that the ranking of the strongest teams in the league in the new season, the defending champion Thunder is still ranked first, and the Rockets and Nuggets are closely behind. During the offseason this summer, the Houston Rockets and the Nuggets are both vigorously signing players. Can they break the strength monopoly of defending champion Thunder? The Thunder are a super strong team with both offense and defense. When they won the championship this year, the offensive efficiency league was the first in the league and the defensive efficiency league was the second in the league, which was terrifying. Therefore, if you want to defeat the defending champion Thunder, the Rockets and the Nuggets must also have the strength to have both offense and defense.

Last season, the Rockets played very well in the regular season and ranked second in the Western Conference, but lost the playoffs because they had no superstars and no super scorers. Jaylen Green averaged only 13 points per game in the playoffs, which was extremely inefficient, which dragged down the Rockets' offense. Therefore, the Rockets made up their minds in this summer's offseason, made a big deal, sent Jaylen Green away, and exchanged for super scorer Durant. Durant is also a super MVP + championship + FMVP winner. His scoring ability and efficiency are the highest among all the stars in the new century. The Rockets have Durant and have the backbone, which can be greatly enhanced in terms of offense and scoring. The Rockets' defense was originally the top five in the league last season. If they can upgrade their offensive scores to the top five in the league, they will have a chance to compete for the championship. Moreover, the Rockets also signed Capela, Finney Smith and others this summer offseason to grab rebounds, and the top 3D defensive champion. The Rockets will only have stronger defense next season and stronger forward teams. Young people such as Jabbarry Smith, Tari Ethan, Amen Thompson, etc. are continuing to improve. In the Suns, Durant must not only score offensively, but also do a good job in defense. In the Rockets, Durant will play very comfortably with so many defensive teammates.

Nuggets also made big signings this summer, sending out Porter Jr. and introducing Cameron Johnson, Valan and Bruce Brown. Cameron Johnson is also a very excellent young forward. He has both scoring and defensive skills, and has a strong three-pointer, which is no worse than Porter Jr. Valan's joining completely solved the worries of Jokic of the Nuggets. Last season, Jokic did not have a substitute center and was very tired. In the new season, Jokic will play very comfortably, and someone will help him share the dirty and tiring work of defending rebounds.

Bruce Brown, one of the Nuggets' championship winners, is an excellent 3D player and is particularly useful in the playoffs. Not taking the ball, having three points, breakthroughs, and defense, the Nuggets management has always regretted letting Bruce Brown go. In the offseason this summer, the Nuggets recalled Bruce Brown again. He will definitely shine on the substitute lineup and greatly improve the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Nuggets substitute lineup. US media NBA experts and reporters unanimously agreed that the Rockets and Nuggets will be the strong teams with the most chance to defeat the defending champion Thunder next season. What do you think of the Rockets and Nuggets' new season?
