Bucks were completely unexpected and they cut Lillard. Lillard returned after suffering from injury last season, and tore off the season in the playoffs against the Pacers, and then the team was eliminated. Antetokounmpo was also revealed that it may leave the Bucks, which also made the Bucks management want to strengthen the lineup in the offseason so that Antetokounmpo's chances of maintaining the championship.

The Celtics sent away several players, completed the team's tax cut, and Tatum's injury; how competitive the team's new season's strength remains to be verified? Halliburton, the Pacers star, also suffered an injury, and Turner in the team was also snatched away by the Bucks.

Many teams are strengthening the Nuggets and are not idle. The Nuggets' operations have been excellent since the offseason. They completed 2 for 1 and sent away the only active first-round pick in 32 years and Porter Jr. for Cameron Johnson, which was a good addition to the team's problem points. At the same time, they signed Bruce Brown, and then completed a batch of 1 for 1, finding a substitute for Jokic.

Trade sent Saric away and got Valan. Last season, Valan was sent to the Kings by the Wizards, and he also got a certain chance in the Kings. Salic doesn't have many opportunities in the Nuggets. This operation allowed the Nuggets to get rid of Salic's contract and was well supplemented by the inside. It can be said that it was another perfect operation.

In this way, the Nuggets will have a very outstanding 8-9-player lineup rotation in the new season, and they still have room to operate. But what is certain is that the Nuggets' operations further improve their lineup depth and strength, and once again have the ability to achieve better results. The West is completely in chaos in the new season.
