Six, Mavericks

The biggest move the Mavericks made in the summer was to lay off Artest (the last year of his contract was partially guaranteed) and use the released space to sign Monta Ellis on a two-year, $16 million low-price contract.

, and also signed back old general Devin Harris.

These are good operations from a lineup perspective, but with Kidd's departure and the growth of Yao Ming and Nowitzki, the Mavericks' overall strength is declining.

For Cuban, it may be a good opportunity when Nowitzki's contract expires next summer.

Projected: Devin Harris, Monta Ellis, Courtney Lee, Nowitzki, Yao Ming

Projected rotation: Barea, Wayne Ellington, Carter, Brandon Wright, Chris Kaman

Seven, Indiana Pacers

Their best news is that they will welcome Danny Granger back again in the new season, and they also signed Elton Brand from the Nets with a one-year contract of 4 million.

The stability of the lineup is by no means a bad thing for a team on the rise.

Projected: George Hill, Lance Stephenson, Paul George, West, Hibbert

Projected rotation: J. Watson, Granger, Mahinmi, Brand

Eight, Celtics

Stan Van Gundy may not be the best head coach, but whether Stevens can bring him to the NBA is a question mark.

And the worse news is that Pierce and Garnett are another year older.

Expected: Rondo, Bradley, Pierce, Garnett, Howard

Projected rotation: Jerry Bayless, Jordan Crawford, Delfino, Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk

nine, bulls

The Bulls still have great strength, but the key is whether Rose can stay healthy.

Projected: Rose, Kirk Hinrich, Deng, Boozer, Noah

Projected rotation: DJ Augustin, Mike Dunleavy, Taj Gibson

ten, knight

The Cavaliers' paper strength has significantly improved, but youth is their biggest weakness, including their head coach Kidd.

A young coach faces a team with huge lineup changes. If he gets well adjusted, he will be one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. If not...

Projected: Irving, Harden, Josh Smith, Tristan Thompson, Hawes

Projected rotation: Dellavedova, CJ Miles, Alonzo Key, Varejao, Tyler Zeller

eleven, warrior

The Warriors' signings in the summer attracted attention, and in addition to those high-profile signings, they actually made a small deal with the Mavericks.

They sent Bazemore and a future second-round pick to the Mavericks for Draymond Green.

The Mavericks already have Wright, and Green has little chance, but the Warriors need to find a substitute for David Lee.

Projected: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, David Lee, Zaza Pachulia

Projected rotation: Jack, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Speights

…

One thing can be clearly felt from this list of ESPN: It is difficult for a super team to exist forever.

After too much salary is concentrated on core players, once problems arise with the core players, the team's performance will become very unstable.

This question can be about status, injuries, or even age.

The dominance of the Lakers and Mavericks in the Western Conference is obviously declining, and the Knicks and Nets are actually about to face contract year and super luxury tax penalties.

And teams with more reasonable combinations, such as the Thunder, Pacers, Warriors, and Cavaliers, are rising.

However, the super teams may not completely disappear. Perhaps one day in the future, these new teams will also welcome super stars to join them.

That may be the true end of the league's era.

However, that will happen in the future.

There will still be a big fight next season. The New York Derby in the East is still exciting. The entry of the Pacers and Cavaliers has also made the competition in the top half more intense.

The new season of "Who Can Break Out from the West" stock market in the West is open again.

Lakers stocks, Thunder stocks, Spurs stocks, Mavericks stocks, Warriors stocks, buy and leave!

…

The Nets' opponent in the opening game of the new season is the Thunder.

The Texas Twins failed to meet in the finals last season, but Stern will not give up just yet.

In history, in order to promote 23VS24, the old man worked hard for several seasons.

Although, it didn't succeed in the end.

But he will definitely work harder this season because he is about to usher in his retirement season.

This was not something that was decided on the spur of the moment, but was planned several years ago.

Originally, Xiao Hua was the successor to this position, but following the previous recording incident, Xiao Hua left for the NFL, and the successor was left vacant for a time.

Originally, Tatum was the perfect replacement, but NBA owners did not want someone of Chinese descent to take over this position.

However, with the vigorous development of the Chinese market in the past two years, especially the unparalleled economic benefits brought by Lin Ying, the bosses began to compromise.

Starting from the 2014~2015 season, which is next season, Tatum will become the fifth president of the league.

This is obviously a good thing for the development of the NBA. A president who is familiar with Chinese culture and respects Chinese and even world culture will inherit Stern's ideas and continue to promote the NBA's global plan.

Of course, that is also a matter of next season.

The preview for the Texas Twins this season will begin in the opening game.

As the defending champion, the Nets will also hold a championship ring awarding ceremony and a championship flag-raising ceremony in the opening game.

This day will be important for Nets fans.

Moreover, it is reported that the Nets’ single cost of this championship is as high as US$1 million, which will set a new record for the most championship rings in the NBA.

For a second-year rookie like Crowder, a ring is more than his one-year after-tax salary!

…

"Does it take that long to choose?"

In the Riverbend Villa in Brooklyn, Swift looked at Lin Ying walking back and forth, wanting to laugh and getting angry at the same time.

It's been almost half an hour, and Lin Ying is still choosing clothes for her to wear at night!

Obviously just participating in the championship ring ceremony!

I had never seen Lin Ying so focused during the Night of Champions before.

"I wasn't sure that I would win the championship that day, but I will get the ring today."

Lin Ying seemed to be able to read minds, and said while holding the clothes in front of Swift.

Swift put a hand to her forehead.

"Why do you think every piece of clothing looks so good? It's really hard to choose. You can't look a little less good-looking."

But Lin Ying's next words immediately amused her.

Forget it, she accepted her fate.

Just think of it as a Victoria's Secret runway show.

…

The Barclays Center was extremely lively on this day, even more lively than the Night of Champions.

This is a historic moment in team history that everyone wants to witness with their own eyes.

And unlike the previous finals, in addition to fans from Brooklyn, many fans from New Jersey also came.

Although the Nets are now in Brooklyn, they were in New Jersey for the previous 25 years.

How could New Jersey fans forget their home team, especially now that the Nets have won the championship.

If you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives!

The arena also showed its humanistic side at this time. They designated a special area for these fans to sit.

This wave kills two birds with one stone. It not only facilitates these people, but also allows New Jersey fans to continue to support the Nets.

An hour before the start of the game, the venue was already packed.

Lin Ying came earlier, but what he didn't expect was that JR also came early.

I can’t say why, but starting from the summer training camp, JR gave people a very different feeling than when he was in Denver.

The two chatted for a few words and then went to the gym to warm up.
