US media updated the team s combat power list: Lakers fell out of the top ten, Rockets were only sixth, and the two Eastern Conference teams entered the top three

On July 24, as the offseason deepens, it can be said that many teams have completed their operations this summer. For example, the Rockets and the Clippers, they no longer have the salary space to sign other players. The Lakers cannot sign directly except for trading. Under such circumstances, the US media updated the latest strength list, and the Lakers are only ranked 11th. Let’s take a look at who is in the top ten and what operations they have done?

The 10th Pistons lost Schroeder and Beasley this offseason, and the team's strength on paper declined, but they signed Dunro, and his shooting skills could make up for Beasley's departure to a certain extent. Avie will also return in the new season, and their young core members: Cunningham, Thompson, Durham and Holland will all rise. The Pistons rely on tough defense and they will be one of the hardest bones in the East.

Ninth Warriors

At this stage, the Warriors can still rank ahead of the Lakers? I have to say that TA has always been too optimistic about the Warriors. The Warriors have not done much yet. Moreover, Rooney has left the team, and Payton Jr. is likely to join other teams. They have not even solved the matter of Kumingga. Although Horford and Melton have agreed verbally, what if Kumingga's problem cannot be solved? This offseason, Kumingga blocked the Warriors by himself.

The Eighth Magic

The Magic did a good job of strengthening this offseason, sent away the garbage contract Pope, got the star-level backcourt Bain, and won a qualified point guard, Tyers Jones. After the Magic's operation, their lineup became more reasonable and their strength was stronger. In addition to the team's third youngster, Va, Bancero and Sargos, if Sargos were not injured, the Magic could have achieved better results this season, and his defense was too strong.

The seventh Clippers

The Clippers are in this position. It is estimated that many fans are very interested in the top six. After the Clippers operated this offseason, they have already achieved the level of championship competition. Although they lost Powell, they got Bill, Collins and Paul. The team also won Daluo on the bench. With Harden and Leonard, no team in the entire league dares to say that they can win the Clippers. This strength is too strong.

The sixth Rockets

The Rockets are only ranked sixth. The Rockets are now at the level of championship competition. The two championship teams are ranked in this position, which is enough to show that there are more teams with championship competition next season. Although the Rockets have lost Jaylen Green and Dillon, they have obtained Durant, Capela and Finney Smith. The team's biggest shortcomings have been strengthened, and the lineup is better. The Rockets have the ability to challenge any opponent.

The fifth Nuggets

The Nuggets I think they should enter the top two. They are only ranked third and are seriously underestimated. Although the Nuggets lost Porter Jr. in the offseason, they got Cameron Johnson and Valanciunas, and brought back the championship-winning former player Bruce Brown. Previously, the Thunder players talked about the most difficult opponent to win the championship in an interview. They expressed that they were the Nuggets. If it weren't for the poor lineup, the Nuggets would have won the championship, and now they have made up for the shortcomings. The reason why the Timberwolves are still ahead of the Nuggets is probably because they have reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. However, the Timberwolves have now declined because Alexander Walker has left the team. However, if Edwards scores in the new season and Shannon and Dillingham meet expectations, the Timberwolves will probably still be very strong. The team's size and athletic talent are too outstanding, and Connery's operational ability is indeed top-notch. The reason why the third Cavaliers are ranked in this position is thanks to them in the East. If they were put in the West, he might not be ranked higher than the Clippers. This is not a derogatory view of them. The Cavaliers lost Jerome in the offseason, but they got the Ball Brother who has better defense as the substitute. The Ball Brother's arrival made up for their shortcomings in the backcourt defense. As long as the core players can perform this season, the Cavaliers will still be very strong.

Second Knicks completed reinforcement in the offseason, and their lineup was better. The team won Yabussele and Clarkson, enhancing their bench firepower. The Knicks, like the Nuggets, eventually lost to the Pacers because of their lack of bench strength. Yabussele can make up for Hart's lack of height and can start with a partner. Everyone has seen Clarkson's personal firepower, and they will be crazy to play with one team. As the defending champion, the Thunder still retains the core lineup during the offseason. It is reasonable for the Thunder to be ranked first. After all, other teams may not be able to get into chemistry, but the Thunder have proved that they can succeed, so there is not much controversy in ranking first. The Third Young Master will still have a goal increase in the new season, and they will be even better. Having said that, what do you want to say about these 10 teams?
