Oklahoma City Thunder
OKC finished with the top seed in the West last season, though they fell short in the second round of the playoffs against the Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder have a legitimate MVP candidate in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, while they have done a great job of adding pieces like Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein to go around their young nucleus. This team will be a ton of fun to watch this year as they could win this division and the Western Conference as a whole.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves spent some time with the best record in the NBA last season. They are elite defensively, combining the size of Rudy Gobert and the athleticism of players like Anthony Edwards in a beautiful way. Minnesota made the Western Conference Finals last season and will look to build on that by winning the Northwest Division this year, though it will be interesting to see how this team performs without Karl-Anthony Towns and with Julius Randle on the roster.
Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets had a rather disappointing title defense last season. They were cut down early in the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves, with the supporting cast around Nikola Jokic just not doing enough. This year, the Nuggets will look to get back to the top of the heap in the Northwest Division, but will need more consistency from Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., and the rest of their squad for that to happen.
Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz are not likely to be any good this year. They still have Lauri Markkanen on their roster for now. But they don’t have enough around Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson to beat quality teams with any consistency. Markkanen trade rumors will likely be a hot topic as this season goes along, but that might be the only interesting thing about the Jazz in the 2024-25 campaign.
Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers finished last season with the worst record in the Western Conference, even worse than the San Antonio Spurs. And while the Spurs are set to improve behind Victor Wembanyama in the near future, the Trail Blazers have no such pieces that will immediately change their fortunes. Expect another long season in the Pacific Northwest.
