Parity Defines the Current NBA Era
Parity has established itself as a defining characteristic of the current NBA era. Following the Oklahoma City Thunder’s triumph in June, the league has crowned seven different champions in as many years, an unprecedented streak in NBA history.While this offseason hasn’t seen any major spectacular moves, several teams have significantly reconfigured their rosters.
The Houston Rockets made a trade with the Phoenix Suns, incorporating Kevin Durant and sending Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks in the same operation. The Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks lost key veterans and added new talent. The Orlando Magic bet on Desmond Bane, contributing to their rise in title betting. The Los Angeles Clippers also made interesting moves. The Portland Trail Blazers, for their part, starred in the return of Damian Lillard, although fans will have to wait a season to see him play due to an injury that will keep him out until the 2026-27 season. Here’s an analysis of the most important market movements and how they might influence the upcoming season.Teams That Gained the Most Value in the Squad
