Discussion on the new season! Who will the championship be under the list of the Big Three?

In the NBA, building a championship lineup is not just about talent, but also about lineup fit. But even if the players are talented, if the chemistry is not good enough, the talent may be wasted. Looking at the new season, there are endless combinations of top three giants in the league, but it may not be common for them to truly exert their maximum power.

First, it is the Big Three of the Lakers, a combination of Doncic + Rivers + James. Although this trio is well-known, it is likely that it will not be able to squeeze into the top five in the ranking of the Big Three of the league.

The three of them each have excellent abilities, but they are not a match made by heaven. There are too many talented players in the league, and it is undeniable that these three are also considered top players, but their potential is ultimately limited by the overall system and tacit understanding.

Rivers is an excellent young player, but he is obviously slightly inferior to the Warriors Big Three. The Warriors have Curry, Green and Butler in the team. The three of them teamed up to play for 454 minutes last season. The tacit understanding between veterans is gradually being established, and it is one of the most offensive and destructive combinations in the West.

In sharp contrast to the Warriors is the Magic. They have a young three-core lineup. Bancero has proved in the playoffs that he can change the game. Wagner is also constantly improving his personal technical style. If the three-pointer feel can be restored in the new season, the offensive threat of this lineup should naturally not be underestimated.

Fortunately, Bain joined, with a career three-point shooting percentage of up to 41%, averaging 6.3 shots per game. During his time at Orlando, he averaged nearly 10 shots per game. Overall, after strengthening the offense, the three Magic giants are not bad at talent, but they are still not ranked in the top five in the league for the time being. After the Magic, the Knicks also led the team with three cores to firmly rank in the playoffs, but the new season may change. Brunson and Towns have experience in the best team. As for who can become the last link between Anunobi and Bridges, this will directly determine the Knicks' new season. The situation of the Timberwolves is somewhat similar. Edwards' core strength is enough to reach the top level of the league. Beside him, Randall and Gobert are strong partners. The Timberwolves' game levels are enriching year by year. Last year, the efficiency and shooting efficiency of three-pointers and shots have been significantly changed. No matter how their performance in the new season, this group of Big Three will bring huge changes to the team.

There are the Big Three of the 76ers in Philadelphia. No surprise, this pair of trio is still full of talent, but whether they can play in a healthy manner is a question. Maxi is in his prime, although Paul George and Embiid are gradually getting older. Looking back at the 2024-25 season, the 76ers' Big Three played for a total of 294 minutes, even less playing time than the Warriors formed halfway through. Although talent is undisputed, attendance is the key. For them, the new season may be a year for the 76ers to make or break. Below

, let's predict the Big Three lineup of the new season:

Fifth: Garland + Mobley + Mitchell Cavaliers' Big Three is not a perfect fit, but it has enough potential. Garland has excellent passing skills, Mitchell is a scorer with overwhelming offensive creativity, and Mobley is also taking the key step to becoming a core player, averaging 3.2 three-point shots last season, with a shooting percentage of up to 37%.

The problem is that the two defenders are small in size and need Mobley to make up for the defensive end. In addition, injuries are also hidden dangers. When the three of them reached the finals last year, all of them were injured. If they could not break through the East in the new season, discussions from outside will surely come.

Fourth: Aaron Gordon + Murray + Jokic The Nuggets' Big Three combination can be called a golden partner. Murray can create scoring opportunities and cooperate with Jokic in pick-and-roll, while Aaron Gordon supports the team with his top defensive talent and also made key contributions on the playoff stage many times last season.

Since the 2022 playoffs, Jokic has averaged 29 points per game and his real shooting percentage is as high as 61%. The addition of Cameron Johnson has further enhanced the depth of the lineup, and the Nuggets in the new season will once again become the champion contender.

Third: Zubac + Harden + Leonard Clippers have both talent and tacit understanding. Zubac has excellent offensive ability at low posts. Last season, the shooting percentage of 503 shots at the basket is as high as 71%, and the pick-and-roll cooperation with Harden has gradually become smooth. As for Leonard, as long as he can maintain a healthy appearance, the lineup of the three giants can show full combat power.

Even as the late stage of his career, Harden can still control the rhythm of the game and provide support for Leonard and Zubac. This trio each plays its own advantages and can fully achieve the talent level that fans expect.

Second: Amen Thompson + Shinkyung + Durant Rockets' Big Three have not fully demonstrated their combat power on the field, but their potential is huge. Durant's offensive dominance is unquestionable. As an All-Star big man, Shin Kyung has good vision for defense and passing, while Amen Thompson provides external defense and offensive vitality. This combination poses great threats on both offense and defense, helping the Rockets' overall tactics become more three-dimensional and comprehensive.

First: The young three giants of Homegren + Jaylen Williams + Alexander Thunder complement each other and have unlimited potential. Alexander has proven himself to be the top player in the league, while Jewish and Homgren show value on defense and franchise respectively.

Last season, Homegren limited his opponent's basket shooting percentage to 44%, and his foul rate was only 3%. Alexander averaged more than 30 points per game for three consecutive years and shot over 50%. At the age of 27, he has reached the top level in the league. His teammates around him are young enough, and the Thunder will continue to show their dominance in the future.
