Unfortunately, the traffic team failed one after another, and it also showed us a fact that it is too difficult for veterans to win the championship. Durant of 36 can't even enter the playoffs. Harden and James are both in the first round. Finally, Curry had some hope. Unfortunately, the Warriors still fell in the second round of the playoffs. I have to say that this year is the best opportunity for these veterans, but if you miss this year, it is really likely that it will be forever. Let's briefly analyze the prospects of the traffic team's championship next season.

The first is the Lakers. Many people think that as long as the Lakers strengthen the inside, they will still be the team that won the championship. Theoretically, they can think so, but a realistic problem that has to be said is that as James gets older, it is impossible to consume high intensity for a long time. However, although the offensive end is OK, it is a pity that the huge loophole on the defensive end must be where the Lakers are easily targeted by opponents. Even if the Lakers strengthen the inside, judging from the current configuration, the Lakers' prospects for winning the championship are worrying, unless Doncic can show a defensive attitude and Reeves can prove it to himself in the playoffs, otherwise, it will be too difficult for the Lakers to win the championship.

Let's talk about the Warriors. What is certain is that if the Warriors still use Curry and Butler as the core style of building the team next season, it will be difficult for the Warriors to win the championship. We are not questioning the strength of the Warriors. I'm afraid the biggest enemy for the Warriors is injury. As Curry gets older, he needs to face 82 regular season games again and in the long playoffs. Can Curry withstand it? Don't forget that just a round of attrition with the Rockets injured Curry. If you want to win the championship, your physical fitness has become their biggest enemy.

Then there is the Clippers. Perhaps this team's failure this season is the most regrettable. In fact, their overall strength is the most balanced team and the team with the most hope of winning the championship. Unfortunately, the league does not like the Clippers, and under the favoritism of the referee, the Clippers finally regrettably lost the series. If you start over, it will be too difficult for the Clippers. First of all, Leonard's injury management can be maintained. Based on past experience, it is too difficult. The consumption of Harden on the regular season has always laid hidden dangers for the playoffs. If the Warriors are the impact of physical fitness, then the Clippers' biggest enemy is injury.

Finally, it is Durant. Although it has not been said which team Durant will join, it is certain that Durant will definitely leave the Suns. Maybe Durant is the player with the greatest chance among the above players, but one thing is certain that Durant will definitely not be the core boss of the team. Age is the biggest problem. With the rise of young players, Durant's best destination is to join a competitive team and then assist the team's core.

Why do veterans have no chance? In fact, the biggest reason is the rise of young players. There is no need to say much about the Thunder. They have the strongest offensive and defensive system in the league, and the quasi-MVP Alexander is in charge. They will have certain competitiveness for a long time in the future. There is also the Spurs after the return of the Wenban. Don’t forget that they have the second pick. The most terrifying thing is the Mavericks. They have a lineup of three No. 1 picks, and in the end, the young Wolf King has risen. There are only 8 places in the playoffs. Whoever leaves will stay? It seems difficult to predict, and it is certain that the competition in the West will be more intense next season.
