Today, NBA legend Pierce predicted the ranking of the Lakers in the new season in the show "Speak".

Pierce said: "This topic is interesting, because the Lakers were the third seed in the West last year. But you know, they are not as good as the Thunder now, which is the fact. Listen, the Rockets have become stronger, they are the real second-strongest team in the West."

Then Pierce said: "So my current ranking is: Thunder, Rockets, Nuggets, which are the top three. I also want to add the Timberwolves, they have proved themselves, which is fourth. If the Clippers and Warriors can play healthy for a full season, they will be very competitive. As for the Lakers, I will put him in 7th place, which seems like this at the moment."
