After strengthening, the Lakers seem to be behind in the top four in the West!

After the free trading market was opened, each team opened up a crazy player reserve! There have been dozens of people signing contracts and trading! There was even a maximum salary contract of 285 million yuan. The top four in the Western Conference this season have also adjusted the roster. As the top spot in the Western Conference and won the championship, the Thunder made fine adjustments to the lineup. He sent Dillon Jones away, then renewed Jaylin Williams, and renewed the team's core Alexander with a super maximum salary of 285 million yuan for four years. For the current Thunder, maintaining the core lineup may be the most important thing. The renewal of Jaylen Williams and Chet will be the top priority of the team! Keep this set of core, the Thunder will have a high probability of defending their title next season! As the second in the Western Conference, the Rockets have been too big this offseason! The deal comes to Durant, sign Finney Smith, and sign Capela back, not only solves the weak link on the offensive end, but also becomes a popular team to win the championship in one fell swoop! The Rockets' deal last time may have been traced back to the year when Francis replaced McGrady! We are optimistic about the Rockets' first position in the Western Conference in the new season!

The Lakers are third in the West, and their current trading moves are too small! Only one young player Laravia was signed, but he also lost the forward defensive vanguard Finney Smith! If we enter the new season with our current lineup, even with two superstars, James and Doncic, the Lakers are likely to fall off, and they lack the depth of the lineup! Maybe even go to the play-offs!

Nuggets' operations in the playoffs are super magical! Trade Porter, who is in poor condition, saves money, and the newly joined Johnson has also improved the team's strength! In addition, Valanciunas and Hardaway were newly added. Valan's joining largely solves Jokic's substitute problem; while Hardaway Jr. can improve the team's lineup depth!

Next season, we are optimistic that the Thunder, Rockets and Nuggets will continue to stabilize in the first half of the Western Conference, but the Lakers may be falling behind!
