One day before the start of the game, the NBA officially announced the first team power rankings.

Defending champions Lakers are ranked No. 1 and they continue to strengthen in the summer. Trail Blazers' former starting guard Steve? Blake joined, increasing the firepower from the outside. And Matt, who started in the Magic and was responsible for defending the opponent's arrows? Barnes, in order to win the championship, Barnes took a salary cut to join and signed a two-year contract of 3.6 million. In addition, Kobe Bryant stayed with the Lakers with the league's first salary of 84 million for three years.

Last year the Lakers paid 1. 1.2 billion, Jin Yuan cast the top elite to win the championship. In order to defend their title this year, the Lakers will also have to pay more luxury tax.

The 2010-2011 NBA salary cap was 5,804. $40,000, with a luxury tax trigger of 7030. $70,000. The Lakers' total salary for the new season will be as high as $94.7 million, which is almost double the salary cap. Based on this estimate, the Lakers will have to pay $24 million in luxury tax, for a total of 1. 1.7 billion. As the salaries of Kobe, Gasol, Artest, and Bynum increase year by year, this number will continue to increase in the future, breaking league records.

It is worth mentioning that the Knicks, a big tax payer, did not have to pay luxury tax this year, and Mullin controlled his salary perfectly and did not spend an extra dollar. This was not what Dolan requested, but a habit of Mullin.

Second in the power list is the Orlando Magic. They have won all of their preseason games and are averaging 25 points per game, showing that they are ready for the regular season to begin. The Magic's offense, defense and rebounding all ranked first in the league for most of the preseason. It's just that the Suns lost their offensive title to 144 points as they were cut by the Nuggets.

The Magic perimeter is also strengthened, Quentin? Richardson, Bill? Walker, Chris? Du Hong joined. Point guards have a bench.

Third place is the Miami Heat. Although the Big Three are formed, the role players are all veterans, the athleticism is not very strong, and the preseason shows that there are problems with the run-in. Especially Joel? Anthony plays center and can't do much.

No. 4 through No. 9 are the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz.

The tenth is the Warriors, who are still underestimated despite having decent bench depth.

The Knicks were ranked 13th and they played well in the preseason. People are looking for them to make the playoffs, but the roster is too young for experts to think it will be difficult to go far in the playoffs.

People always say that the playoffs are a battlefield for veterans, who don't play randomly and have a lot of experience. In the championships of the past few years, the Spurs and Celtics are all veterans, and the Warriors also have Randolph, Jackson, Margety, Marion and others in charge. Lakers Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, Atay and others are all veterans.

What about the Knicks? Now the most playoff experience is only Stoudamire and Mason, Zhou Xuan and Azubuike have experience in the finals, but they are very young. The others are either newcomers or haven't played in the playoffs.
