The Warriors pressed the line to be selected! US media announced the top 10 of the new season s strength list: Lakers 7th, Rockets 5th

The Warriors are selected! As the preseason begins and the new season begins, the US media "BF" announced the top 10 list of the new season's strength list. Among them, the Lakers are ranked 7th, and the Rockets, who suffered a serious injury from Van Jordan, are still ranked 5th.

Tenth place: Warriors

The reason why the Warriors were selected is mainly because the core is too old. Curry, Dream Chaser and Butler are all over 35 years old.

If you include new aid Horford, the Warriors' core four giants are 147 years old in total. The physical fitness and injury risks caused by age are issues that the Warriors have to face.

In addition, the Warriors did not resolve the contract extension issue with Kuminga until before the start of the preseason, and the contract was obviously prepared for a mid-season trade. The embarrassing state of both parties may bring considerable hidden dangers to the Warriors locker room.

Ninth place: Mavericks

Suffering from injury problems, the Mavericks have been seriously underestimated. If Irving can recover and return in the new season, paired with the full-blooded brother with thick eyebrows and Flagg, who performed extremely well in the preseason, the Mavericks, with the No. 3 pick and size advantage, will also be a reasonable contender for the championship.

Eighth place: Magic

The young Magic team has reached the stage of achieving results. During the offseason, they also used an 8-for-1 deal to acquire Bane, a prolific marksman, to strengthen the backcourt and shooting. In addition, Tatum is injured and the Eastern Conference is in chaos in the new season. The Magic team has a good opportunity to transform.

Seventh place: Lakers

With zero transactions during the offseason, the Lakers still completed a comprehensive upgrade of the lineup through Taobao in the buyout market and renewed Doncic's contract.

Even if Ayton performed poorly offensively in the preseason, the defensive threat and rebound protection he brings are exactly what the Lakers need most.

More importantly, Doncic has completed a significant reduction in weight and is expected to be among the MVPs in the new season. The Lakers are well prepared to go further.

Sixth place: Timberwolves

The Timberwolves spent a dull offseason, letting go of Alexander Walker, an important piece of perimeter defense, but as a strong team that has reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

As Edwards continues to grow and the chemistry between core players such as Gobert and Randle improves, the Timberwolves are qualified to occupy this position.

Fifth place: Rockets

As the biggest winner of the offseason, the Rockets not only acquired Durant at a low price, but also introduced new players such as Finney Smith, Capela and Okogie. In addition, they renewed many core rotations at a low price. The Rockets' lineup is exaggerated and deep, making them a reasonable contender for the championship.

Even if the starting core point guard Van Jordan suffers a serious injury, judging from the preseason performance so far, this Rockets team's size, depth, athletic ability and offensive improvement give them hope to achieve a higher ranking when the new season officially starts.

Fourth place: Cavaliers

The Cavaliers performed impressively last season, established a stable chemical reaction, and are a contender that cannot be ignored in the Eastern Conference.

Even if the shortcomings of only Mitchell being relied upon were exposed during the playoffs, as the young Garland and Mobley continue to grow, the Cavaliers have hope of making a comeback in the chaotic Eastern Conference.

Third place: Knicks

The Knicks have an excellent starting lineup. With the addition of new coach Brown, they are expected to increase the rotation lineup. This will be a protection for the core players, but it will also be a test for the maintenance and continuation of the team's competitiveness.

Second place: Nuggets

After experiencing internal strife and chaos for many seasons, the Nuggets finally spent an offseason of comprehensive reinforcement after cleaning up last season.

Whether it is trading to acquire Cameron Johnson and Varan, or acquiring Bruce Brown and Hardaway Jr. at a minimum salary, it is a huge boost and reinforcement for the Nuggets. Jokic, the number one player in active combat, finally has another chance to compete for the championship.

First place: Thunder

There is no doubt that the top position belongs to the Thunder. Until a new champion is born, the top position will belong to the Thunder.
