The Warriors rank first! US media rated the five biggest losers so far in the offseason: Suns 1 for 8 Durant 4

The Warriors rank first! With less than three weeks left before the media day of the NBA new season, US media "fansided" selected the five major losers in the offseason to date based on their performances since the offseason. Among them, the Suns sold Durant to the Rockets at a low price of 1 for 8, resulting in its fourth place.

Fifth place: The Nets, as a team in the early stage of reconstruction, were the core reason why the Nets were selected into the list was their poor draft performance. In this summer's draft, the Nets selected 5 first-round picks in one go.

First, he accidentally won the high point guard Yegor Jamin from Russia with the No. 8 pick, and then selected Nolan Traore and Ben Salav, who had obvious shooting problems in the 19, 22, 26 and 27 picks, "ball-controlled" center Wolf, who also had problems in shooting, and extremely immature 3D wing Powell.

Plus taking over Porter Jr.'s combat power, instead of entering the full play and reconstruction, the Nets, who held a large number of chips but handed over mediocre operations, were selected for the list.

4th place: The Suns

From entering the finals to missing the playoffs in a row, the Suns have had a very bad operation in the past few seasons. With the high luxury tax, the team's record and competitiveness have plummeted.

The Suns learned from their mistakes in the offseason and completely overturned the three giants of Booker + Durant + Bill. They first sent Durant to the Rockets 1 for 8, but only exchanged for Dillon, who was carrying a premium contract, Jaylen Green, who had been trained for many years, and a first-round pick, plus five second-round picks.

Then he had no choice but to buy out Bill. In addition, the team did not choose to rebuild the entirely, but continued to build a lineup around Booker and other combat power. This state of being neither up nor down is also the reason why the Suns were selected.

Third place: The Bucks have signed a group of "baby price" players since the offseason, which seems to be one of the biggest winners, but there is huge controversy in the handling of core players.

The Bucks directly cut Lillard with the extension clause, and then signed Turner with some of the freed salary space, hoping that the latter can become an upgraded version of Daluo.

This means that the Bucks spend about $48.5 million a year in the next four years, only bringing in Turner (salary + dead money brought by Lillard), and Turner has declined severely in the past few seasons and is completely unworthy of such salary expenses. In addition, the situation of the Bucks in the new season is still a mess.

Second place: Pelicans

Pelicans completed the management change in the offseason, but the two operations of the new general manager, Chaudhumas, are still confusing.

On the one hand, the Pelicans still haven't dealt with Zion, who has frequently been injured in the past few seasons, and have not entered a new round of reconstruction. They have also exchanged the Wizards for a high-paid Nervous Knife Pull.

On the other hand, the Pelicans bought the No. 23 draw + 26-year unprotected first-round pick to exchange the No. 13 draw from the Hawks. According to the Pelicans' record, this 26-year first-round pick is very likely to be a lottery draw. This terrible deal is the core reason why the Pelicans rank second.

No. 1: The Warriors' strong top-top was because they had no operations during the offseason. In order to avoid Kumingga being snatched away by teams like the Nets with cap space, the Warriors did not dare to strengthen personnel throughout the offseason.

Currently, Horford has only been signed with a two-year, $11.7 million contract, and the signing has not been officially announced. Currently, there are only 9 players on the Warriors who have formal contracts on their roster.

However, Melton, Payton Jr., Brogdon Jr. and Curry Jr. have also reached verbal agreements with the Warriors. If the issue of Kumingga's contract renewal can be resolved in the future and then successfully sign all new players who have reached verbal agreements, the Warriors will soon leave this list.
