2. Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns made a flurry of moves in the free agency this summer, despite already adding Kevin Durant before the trade deadline in February. The Suns acquired Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards, sacrificing veteran point guard Chris Paul in the process.

A new trio has been formed in Phoenix and many believe the Suns should be the favorites to win it all this season. Only time will tell.

The Suns also filled out the roster with impressive signings such as Eric Gordon, Drew Eubanks, and Yuta Watanabe as they restricted their supporting cast. Heading into the start of the season, the Suns have arguably the best roster in the NBA.

1. Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets are in prime position to win it all again in 2024. Despite losing their versatile wing Bruce Brown and veteran Jeff Green, the Nuggets look formidable, with their core intact, to repeat in the upcoming season.
