1.Milwaukee Bucks
1.密尔沃基雄鹿
While the fabric of the Eastern Conference has changed drastically in recent weeks, the Bucks' core has stayed largely the same. The team re-signed starters Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez as well as key reserve George Hill. What set the team apart last season was its deep bench.
虽然西部各球队阵容经历了天翻地覆的改变，但雄鹿队的核心仍旧保持原有配置。球队续签了克里斯.米德尔顿、布鲁克.诺佩斯和重要老将乔治.希尔。但让雄鹿与上个赛季不同的是他们的板凳深度。
Will the acquisitions of Robin Lopez and Wesley Matthews be enough to make up for the departures of Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell and Nikola Mirotic? A strong bench to support Giannis Antetokounmpo is essential for Milwaukee to make it out of the East finals.
罗宾·洛佩斯和韦斯利·马修斯的加盟能够弥补马尔科姆·布罗格登、托尼·斯内尔和尼古拉·米罗蒂奇的离开吗？一个能支持字母哥的优秀板凳阵容对于雄鹿队冲出东部是非常重要的。
2.Denver Nuggets
2.丹佛掘金
While the rest of the NBA world went wild, the Nuggets made a few moves along the edges but quietly had one of the best summers of anyone.
虽然NBA的交易正在如火如荼地进行着，但掘进队只是稍稍做了一些调整，安静地度过了一个美好的夏天。
Adding Jerami Grant is one of the most underrated moves of the offseason, and they effectively are adding 2018 No. 14 overall pick Michael Porter Jr., who sat out the entire season with back issues. Assuming progression from their young rising stars, the Nuggets are firmly a favorite in the West.
掘进队引进杰拉米·格兰特是休赛期最被低估的操作之一，他们实际上还增加了早在2018年首轮第14顺位就选中的小迈克尔·波特，他因背伤报销了上年整个赛季。如果新秀球员表现良好的话，掘金在西部依旧是一支劲旅。

3.LA Clippers
3.洛杉矶快船
After a year of rumors of quietly recruiting Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers landed the mysterious forward after what might have been the most intrigue-filled week in free agency in recent memory.
想要悄悄签下科怀.伦纳德的谣言传了一年之后，快船终于得到了这名神秘的前锋，这或许是在最近的记忆里自由球员市场最为有趣的一周了。
Shocking the Lakers, the Raptors and the entire NBA, the Clippers persuaded Leonard to become a Clipper by stealthily working a trade for Paul George. Though the blockbuster move cost a historic haul of five first-round picks, two first-round-pick swaps and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Gallinari, the Clippers are now instant title contenders.
快船通过暗地里交易获得保罗.乔治从而说服伦纳德成为快船的一员，这震惊了湖人球迷、猛龙球迷和整个NBA。尽管这场轰动性的转会牺牲了 5 次首轮选秀权，2 次首轮选秀互换权，以及谢伊·吉尔吉斯·亚历山大和达尼罗·加里纳利，但快船队现在已经是冠军有力争夺者了。
Leonard and George should fit in seamlessly with a gritty supporting cast and budding Clipper culture built on a low-ego, team-first mentality. Doc Rivers' defense could be the nastiest in the NBA with Leonard, George and Patrick Beverley forming a perimeter wall.
伦纳德和乔治需要和一个坚定支持自己的阵容完美的融合在一起，并孕育出新的球队文化（从前的球队文化是轻个人、重团体的）。道德.里弗斯可能拥有着这个星球上最强悍的防守，伦纳德、乔治和布拉德利共同组建了一道钢铁长城。
Rivers has the best second-unit combo in Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell, and role players such as JaMychal Green, Maurice Harkless and Landry Shamet might make the Clippers the best team in not just Staples Center this season but perhaps in the entire league.
里弗斯拥有着最好的第二阵容：路易斯·威廉姆斯、蒙特雷斯·哈雷尔、以及角色球员如杰迈克尔·格林、莫里斯·哈克利斯、兰德里·沙梅特，这使快船不只在斯台普斯中心，而是在整个联盟成为最佳球队。
