Ship Record: Thunder will still be the first next season, fire& dig& ship& lake& wolf& courage and other competitions are left with 5 direct places

According to famous reporter Shams, Smart reached a buyout agreement with the Washington Wizards, planning to sign a two-year, $11 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers after passing a clarification period. Later, Clippers reporter Justin Russo posted a message about this offseason and next season.

"The Lakers are also working well this offseason. I think it's interesting that many top teams in the West have performed well this offseason: the Rockets, Nuggets, Clippers and Lakers. At present, there are 7 teams competing for the top 6 in the West (no play-offs), but in fact it's more like 6 teams competing for 5 places (the Thunder seems to have locked in the first place). The Rockets, Nuggets, Clippers, Lakers, Timberwolves and Warriors will rank 2-6 in the West, and at least one team will enter the play-offs. It's worth seeing the competition for the heroes next season," Justin Russo wrote.
