US media predicts that the league s strength list in the next three years: Suns are the last! Lakers are only 8th, and Rockets are second

On September 17, as many teams completed strengthening this offseason, it is clear to everyone which teams have the strength to compete for the championship next season. In the past, at most 4-5 teams each season have the strength to compete for the championship, and there are at least 8 teams next season. Now the strength gap between the league teams is too big, but this is what fans want to see. Many teams have found a suitable cornerstone in the offseason. They will build teams around the cornerstone for many years to achieve good results. Speaking of this, ESPN has predicted the strength list in the next three years. Let’s take a look. The first place is the Thunder. They renewed their contract with three cores during the offseason. It can be predicted that in the next three years, the Thunder will build a team around them, and the three cores are still very young and have already won the championship. They will also increase their goals in the future. The second is the Rockets. After getting Durant and the growth of young players such as Amen, Ethan and Shinkyung, the future is also worth looking forward to. The third is the Knicks, Brunson and Towns are both in their prime, and Anunobi and Bridges are also in long-term contracts, and the lineup is too luxurious.

The fourth is the Cavaliers. To be honest, I think the Cavaliers may disintegrate in the future. Their four-star lineup is really good in the regular season, but it is not strong in the playoffs and is easily targeted. The fifth is the Clippers. The Clippers have Harden, Leonard, and Zubac, which sets the lower limit for them. Moreover, Ballmer is rich, forming a strong formation is easy. Sixth Warriors, the Warriors will be a combination of Curry and Butler in the next two years, but at this age, isn’t it a bit inflated?

The seventh is magic, and magic is definitely worth looking forward to. After all, Magic has many outstanding young cores, and now I have Bain. I expect to dominate the East in the future. The eighth is the Lakers. James will definitely retire in the next three years. Everyone is looking forward to what kind of lineup the Lakers will form around Doncic, but they plan to introduce big names only in 27 years. The ninth is the Nuggets, and having Jokic has set a lower limit for them, but is this ranking low?

The tenth is the Spurs. The top young talents such as Wenban, Castle, and Harper are destined to rise.

11-20th place

No. 11 is the Timberwolves. Edwards has made a step every year in the past few seasons and has made very obvious progress. He will inevitably become the top star in the league in the future. With him, the Timberwolves are destined to be a strong team. The 12th is the Hawks. The combination of Daniels and Jaylen Johnson will replace Trae Young and lead the Hawks to success. The 13th is the Celtics, and Tatum's injury has brought the Celtics to doubt. If Tatum recovers and returns, they can make it to the top five.

No. 14 is the Heat. To be honest, the Heat may have been overrated. Neither Hero nor Adebayo were as outstanding as they thought. They chose the wrong cornerstone, and Riley was very stingy and unwilling to spend more money. The 15th is the Pacers. The Pacers have Carlisle to determine their altitude. This team may not have that much desire for stars, mainly the system. The 16th is the Mavericks. The Mavericks are considered inferior because of Irving's injury, but Harrison's operations are indeed bad.

No. 17 is the Grizzlies, and the ceiling for Morant and Jaren Jackson looks like that, and the team has been saving money, No. 18 is the Pistons, who may be ranked low, with young talents like Cunningham, Osal and Durham, they will have a place in the East. The 19th is the 76ers. ESPN believes that the 76ers are going to be rebuilt, and Embiid cannot recover from his peak, so they are ranked in this. The 20th is the Raptors. The Raptors are really talented, including Barnes, Ingram, Barrett, but Ujeri is gone.

21-30th place

No. 21 is the Bucks. The Bucks have Antetokounmpo, which gives them a good lower limit, but the key problem is that the team has no money to sign ups, and Lillard's dead money limits their height. The 22nd place is the Trail Blazers. At the end of last season, the Trail Blazers achieved good results with excellent defense. In the future, with the growth of Klingen, Yang Hansen and others, they will be stronger. No. 23 is the Hornets, with talents like Three Balls and Miller, but there are too many Glass people.

No. 24 is Jazz, and the next three years will be the stage where Jazz will focus on cultivating young cores. It is understandable that their performance is not good. The 25th place is the king. The king has always wanted to form a grand formation to win, but the result is not ideal. Perhaps because of the poor management's operational ability, he ranks 25th. The 26th place is the Wizards. Like the Jazz, the Wizards will focus on cultivating young players in the next few years and do not have the ability to achieve results.

No. 27 is the Nets, and the Nets are the same as those of the Jazz and Wizards. No. 28 is the Bulls. Now the Bulls have White and Gidey. Shouldn’t they be ranked higher? The Pelicans are ranked 29th. The Pelicans have a lot of talent, but they really can't achieve a record. The 30th place is the Sun. Is the combination of Booker and Jaylen Green so disgusted? It's heartbreaking enough. Having said that, what do you want to say about ESPN’s prediction this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
