Paper Tiger! Next season, the five teams with luxurious lineups but difficult to win the championship: The Cavaliers Big Four are also in vain

On August 11, as many European players returned to their hometowns and began to play the European Championship warm-up match, there are fewer and fewer news in the league. During this period, there is almost no operation in the league. Of course, the operations of various powerful players have been basically completed, except for the Warriors. Speaking of this, although many teams have formed luxurious lineups this offseason, some are paper tigers. Let’s take a look at which teams can be called paper tigers.

Cavaliers

Cavaliers were the first to be hit. Last season, they achieved the record of first place in the Eastern Conference and second in the league, but they fell at the Pacers in the second round. Many fans may say that it was caused by injuries. This is indeed part of the reason, but not the main reason. The Cavaliers have never played against the Pacers, and their four giants are unable to complement each other at all, and their functions are even conflicting, which has led to them being unable to play their greatest role.

Take Mitchell and Garland for example. Both need to have a ball to play, and both are under 1.9 meters tall, which leads to their weakness in the backcourt defense. Allen and Mobley are both inside-line playing styles. When they are on the court together, the team's space will be affected. Therefore, the Cavaliers had thought of breaking up their quad cores in the offseason, but when they saw the Celtics and the Pacers fall, they hesitated again. I guess they will be more determined after playing next season. Now this lineup is not practical for the playoffs.

Lakers

Yes, you read that right, the Lakers are on the list. Although the Lakers strengthened their weak inside line this offseason and won the former DPOY Smart, the Lakers are still far from winning the championship team. It can be said that if Xiaoli has been partnering with Doncic to play in the backcourt, then the Lakers will not be able to win the championship. Both of them are not good at defense, and Xiaoli is even more talent-bearing. Although he works hard on the defensive end, his confrontation and athletic ability have caused him to suffer.

Doncic lost weight this offseason, and it can be seen that he wants to contribute more on the defensive end. James is one year older next season, and his condition will probably decline. In addition, it is hard to say whether Smart can recover from his peak. Moreover, Smart's three-pointers have been unstable. They do not have an excellent 3D puzzle. Finney Smith's departure will still have an impact on them. Another key issue is that Reddick's coaching is still a bit inexperienced.

Warriors

Warriors have not yet signed up this offseason, but as of the news now, Horford, Melton, Payton Jr. and Ses Curry will eventually join the Warriors to form the team's 14-man roster. Even if they form such a lineup, it may be difficult for the Warriors to pursue the championship. It is true that their three cores are very experienced and they don’t want to meet them, but it does not mean that they are very strong. The Warriors are now a very old team.

They are different from the Clippers. Although the Clippers are older, Bill and Leonard are still young and in good condition, as well as powerful players such as Collins, Dunn and Zubac. The Warriors are the old ones, the young ones, and the lineup is too old and has no backbone. Even if they make it to the playoffs, as the schedule deepens, their aging problems will be revealed, and physical fitness will be their biggest weakness.

Magic

Magic made good signings this offseason. They introduced Bain and sent away the garbage contracts Pope and Cole Anthony. The team also introduced Tays Jones, plus Wagner, Banchero and Sargers. The talent of this team is top-notch in the entire league. After the Magic introduced Bain and Jones, they not only enhanced their space projection capabilities, but also had a qualified point guard.

Now the Pacers and Celtics have both fallen down. It seems that the Magic has a chance to break out of the division, but I think it is difficult. First of all, the health of the Magic team has been unsafe. Last season, the three young core members were injured in turn. Sometimes they played too hard and did not pay attention to protecting their bodies. In addition, they do not have enough experience. Bain is not a veteran with enough experience. They lack control over details and execution at critical moments, so it is difficult to succeed. Although the 76ers lost Abuselle this offseason, the 76ers' core lineup is still there. If it weren't for injury last season, the 76ers would definitely be a team that could change the Eastern Conference pattern. Their core Maxi, Paul George and Embiid, these three giants can also be ranked first in the league. Now the team has also won Edgecom through the draft, plus outstanding players such as Grimes and McCowan.

The 76ers' paper strength is also among the top in the entire league, but the 76ers also have their hidden dangers. It is hard to say whether Embiid will have a peak after his comeback. In addition, neither Embiid nor George have proved his ability to play tough battles in the playoffs, and the other outstanding core members are too young. In this case, even if the 76ers remain healthy, they may not be able to achieve good results. Having said that, what do you want to say about these five teams?
