The Rockets and Clippers laid off employees, the Lakers’ starting lineup for the opening game was confirmed, and the Warriors waived Seth Curry.

. Under the core leadership of Durant, Shen Jing, and Amen Thompson, the team's offensive and defensive system has become increasingly complete: Durant's key scoring and competition experience are the key to the championship, Shen Jing's inside support and rebounding capabilities continue to evolve, and Amen's defense and organizational potential are full. If the core lineup remains healthy, this lineup with talent, depth, and experience is fully capable of competing for the championship in 2026.

Finally, let’s talk about the Clippers. The Clippers have also recently made a wave of lineup changes, cutting Jason Preston, Patrick Baldwin II and Taytae Washington II, while converting Jamal Telford to a two-way contract player. Telford was able to get this opportunity because the Clippers released a two-way contract spot after they waived Trentin Flowers four days ago.

To put it simply, two-way contract players can be flexibly transferred between NBA teams and G League teams. They can not only train and compete with NBA teams to accumulate experience, but also get more playing opportunities in the G League. For Telford, this is a great opportunity. Being able to stay on an NBA team and learn from the top players in the league at close range will help a lot in his growth.

The waived Preston, Baldwin II and Washington II will most likely continue to play for the Clippers' G League affiliated team, just like the four Rockets players. With Harden and Kawhi, the Clippers have been the favorites to win the championship in recent years. The depth of the team's lineup is very important. Reserve young players in this way to ensure the thickness of the team's lineup. If a player is injured during the regular season, these players trained in the G League can take over.
