The NBA has four bottom teams next season, with 76ers on the list, which will disrupt the league s championship situation

NBA playoffs continue to start. The Pacers currently lead the Thunder with a score of 2:1 and have the initiative to win the championship. As for who can win the championship, who will perform better in the last moment, for the teams that have been eliminated, they have already prepared for the offseason to strengthen and strive to make a comeback next season. The following four teams are very likely to achieve a leap-through breakthrough in the next season. Let's take a look:

1, Philadelphia 76ers: The Eastern Sleepers

This season, the 76ers have only achieved a bleak record of 24 wins and 58 losses (third from the bottom in the East). The long-term absence of core Embiid, Paul George and Maxi directly led to the collapse of the team's competitiveness, forcing the management to turn to a bad strategy to win a high pick.

Despite the poor record, the role players unexpectedly shine, such as: Grimes, Yabussele and others. With the Tanhua lottery they won this year, the new season is expected to recover from Joe Embiid and George. In conjunction with Maxi's continuous evolution, the 76ers will form a "three-core drive + high-quality puzzle" structure, becoming a key force that disrupts the playoff pattern.

2. San Antonio Spurs: The new Western power driven by youth dual-core

Wenban Yama was reimbursed due to thrombosis, which frustrated the Spurs' goal of rushing to the playoffs, and finally ended the season with 32 wins and 46 losses. Fox was introduced before the trading deadline, marking the shift in the direction of reconstruction from purely cultivating new players to the construction of "internal and external dual-core". The Spurs held the second pick and actively pursued star players such as Durant. If it could be achieved, the Spurs would inevitably rise next season. Even if the signing failed, the existing lineup had the strength to compete in the Western Conference playoffs under the premise of health.

3. Portland Trail Blazers: Defensive first systematic counterattack

At the beginning of the season, the Trail Blazers clearly rebuild their positioning, but unexpectedly created the league's top defensive system. Under Billups' training, the team's defensive efficiency has jumped to the forefront of the league. It still needs to base itself on defense in the new season and release more offensive firepower. The team is expected to hit the last train of the Western Conference playoffs with the label of "defensive resilience + quick counterattack".

4. Toronto Raptors: The talent-spreading Eastern Conference upstart

Raptors were planned to completely rebuild, but the collective outbreak of young players made the team "forced" to achieve 29 wins and 50 losses (11th in the East). If in the more competitive West, this record is even lower than the Spurs, which indirectly reflects the strong talent reserve. The core framework led by the four young masters: Barnes (all-round forward, selected as All-Star) Ingram (scorer with the ball) Barrett (Canadian local forward) Quickley (Sixth man gene) Four players can form a multi-position defense switch + space lineup, adapting to modern basketball trends. Although the rise paths of these four teams are different - the 76ers rely on the return of superstars, the Spurs bet on dual-core evolution, the Trail Blazers are based on the defensive system, and the Raptors release their talents redundant. As powerful men such as the Warriors and the Clippers enter the aging stage of salary structure, and pseudo-strong teams such as the Cavaliers and the Suns have exposed bottlenecks, the league's power structure is ushering in a new round of reshuffle. Those once underrated teams are quietly rewriting the NBA's competitive landscape with the momentum of accumulating strength.
