Lakers and Warriors Rockets and Spurs are in the same group, and James strives for the sixth NBA championship

On July 10, the group draws of the new NBA Cup were announced. The Lakers were so lucky that they were once again assigned to the best team, while the Warriors, Rockets and Spurs were trapped in the death group.

The NBA draw in the new season ended, and after this draw situation came out, I have to say that the Lakers are really lucky, and they were assigned to the most popular group in the West. On the other hand, the Warriors on the other side encountered three strong teams, and James' luck was indeed much better than Curry.

The specific situation is this. After this draw, Group A will have the new championships of the Thunder, Suns, Jazz, Timberwolves, and Kings, and Group B will have the Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Pelicans. Group C includes the Rockets, Warriors, Nuggets, Spurs, and Trail Blazers, which are the details of the grouping of 15 teams in the Western Conference.

And we can see that the difficulties of the three groups are indeed different. First of all, the two bad teams in this group where the Lakers are located are the Grizzlies and the Pelicans. The Pelicans will definitely not be able to achieve any good results in the new season, and they are basically a state of giving up. So when you meet this opponent, you're really a random score. The Grizzlies don't want to give up, but they are already competitive after Bain left. It's basically in a free-for-money mode.

In fact, the Lakers and Mavericks can compete in this group, and the Clippers. But the Mavericks' Irving was reimbursed again, missing a core defender, and not very strong. In the end, the Lakers and the Clippers can basically lock in advance to advance. Moreover, the Lakers have been suppressed recently by blood and have also had the advantage last season. This is why James and the Lakers are really lucky. Although they haven't played yet, they are very easy to advance.

In addition, this death group must be the C group of the West. This group is a bit too cruel. Look at these teams, the Rockets, Nuggets, Warriors, Spurs, and a Trail Blazers of Yang Hansen. The Trail Blazers are definitely not good, but the problem is that there are a few teams left, and these are all teams that can win the championship. After the Rockets made up for Durant, they were originally the first-level championship team. In addition, many core players renewed their contracts, and they all kept the team with salary cuts. Van Vleet cuts his salary, Jabarri Smith didn't get much money, Capela returned with a low salary, and even poached the Lakers' Finney Smith and took off directly.

Nuggets are the most successful team in the Western Conference this year. They signed Bruce Brown, retained Valanciunas, and traded Cameron Johnson. The lineup is very luxurious, and they even targeted Bill or Lillard next. The Nuggets have a middle-class special case.

The Warriors have always been competitive with Curry. The Spurs are left in the end. The Spurs have both internal and external cores of Wenban Yama and Fox, as well as Harden Harper, the second-tier pick who just selected this year, and Castle last season's best rookie Castle. It is really cruel to compete for two places for these four strong teams.

So I have to say that the Lakers were not assigned to this group to have fun, otherwise James and Doncic would not be able to go out of the line. Of course, there are three strong teams in the West, the Thunder Suns Timberwolves. I have to say that in comparison with the East, there are really many strong teams in the West. There are many teams in the East that have basically no chance without playing. The West is strong and the East is weak for so many years, and the league structure has never changed.
