Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers had a respectable regular season this year despite challenges getting Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the floor together. They finished fifth in the Western Conference, and third in a Pacific Division where every team made the NBA Playoffs. Their postseason did not go nearly as well, though, as Leonard and George played one combined playoff game. Next year, they will again be among the favorites to win the NBA Finals before the season starts, but they need to find a way to get their stars on the court together.
Golden State Warriors
Unsurprisingly, the Golden State Warriors made the NBA Playoffs in the 2022-23 season, a year removed from winning the NBA Finals. But the Warriors finished fourth in the NBA Pacific Division, thanks in large part to a miserable 11-30 road record. They are always a threat in the postseason thanks to their outside shooting, but this was not as deep a Warriors team as in years past.
Phoenix Suns
It was a wild regular season for the Phoenix Suns, who struggled early in the year, then changed the landscape of the NBA by trading for Kevin Durant. Phoenix finished in second place in the Pacific Division this season, but became title favorites as soon as they made the move for KD. The question for this team going forward will be whether they have enough depth to overcome all of the role players they purged in order to bring in Durant.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers finished at the bottom of the NBA Pacific Division, but they still made the playoffs by winning the first game of the Western Conference play-in tournament. The regular season did not mean much to the Lakers, as they were simply trying to get healthy and set their roster up for playoff success. That plan worked to perfection, as Anthony Davis and LeBron James were back by the postseason, and trades for several role players helped them on the defensive end of the floor.
Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings were the most pleasant surprise in the NBA this season. They were expected to finish last in the Pacific Division, but they won the division and finished third in the Western Conference as a whole. The dynamic duo of Domantas Sabonis and Clutch Player of the Year De’Aaron Fox propelled this team to a massive improvement, which could be sustainable if they can keep their young core in tact.
