Rockets rank first! After the first major adjustment in the offseason, the US media CBS Sports showed the seven biggest winners since the offseason, among which Houston 8 for 1 to buy at the bottom KD pointed to the championship and became the biggest winner.
No. 7: The Spurs were selected for the list because they quietly became winners of the draft again. The draft pick was higher than the predicted pick for the third consecutive year, successfully defeating the superstar Harper and taking advantage of the 14th pick, Carter Bryant.
With a high cost-effective contract signed Connet and introduced space-based inside Olynick, the Spurs have made all preparations for Wenban Yama's takeoff.
No. 6: The Thunder team does not seem to have completed any outstanding operations, but being the defending champion is the greatest success to be able to retain all the core lineups, and they have signed long-term contracts with the three cores, ensuring the team's competitiveness in the next five years.
Fifth place: The Clippers
This summer, the Clippers have clear goals and plans. They renewed Harden with a two-year contract, making it clear that the team will make the last move around the core lineup of Xiaoka + Harden in the next two years.
Then he defeated the market in the trading and free markets. He first introduced Daluo and Collins to the inside, alleviating the pressure on Zubac and Kat, and then took Bill to fill the vacancy after Powell left in the buyout market.
With the return of veteran Paul, the "Calling Artillery Combination" Luocheng reunion has improved the rotation depth of the Clippers and once again launched an attack on the championship.
4th place: Magic
As one of the dark horses in the Eastern Conference, the Magic are completing reconstruction and have introduced Bain in a big way during the offseason, trying to seize the opportunity to break out of the East while the Bucks and the Celtics are in trouble.
Because of packing and trading multiple first-round picks, this deal doesn't seem to be cost-effective, but in terms of fit, Bain is the most perfect puzzle for the championship for this young Magic team, and he will provide the team's projection and organizational skills.
More importantly, the Magic also bought at the bottom of the free market and signed Jones, the "king of assists and errors" in the "free market", and completed the targeted reinforcement to make him one of the winners.
Third place: The Hawks once again built a highly competitive lineup around Trae Young, while using a long appointment to lock in the potential future core Jaylen Johnson.
plus a high cost-effective contract to win the Positives and win the Alexander Walker battle. The Eagles are making their way out of the playoffs and becoming a truly competitive team.
Second place: Nuggets
Before the start of the playoffs, the Nuggets decisively cut off the conflicting coach Malone and general manager Booth, which once caused the team to fall into turmoil.
But after the offseason arrived, the Nuggets used actions to prove the correctness of the management to clear out Booth and Malone. They first sent Porter Jr. with a deal to exchange for another large-scale shooter Cameron Johnson.
Then he won two strong players in the free market, including Bruce Brown and Hardaway Jr., and used a "robbery" deal to get Jokic's substitute inside Valanone to achieve a comprehensive lineup upgrade. This is also the first time the Nuggets have completed a reinforcement in the offseason after winning the championship in 23 years.
No doubt, the top spot belongs to the Rockets. After winning the second record in the Western Conference in the 24-25 season, the Rockets completed magical operations one after another in the offseason.
First, he used an 8-for-1 cheap plan to win Durant to solve the key goal shortcomings, and then signed three strong players in the free market, Finney Smith, Capela and Okogie to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of the lineup.
More importantly, the Rockets also persuaded Van Jordan to reduce the price and renew the contract, so that Houston could keep Jay Jordan with a long contract at a low price. In addition, veterans such as Adams, Ju Holiday, Jeff Green and Tate returned with a high cost performance, and the Rockets successfully entered the first echelon of the championship.
