The summer of the NBA in 2019 was a series of shocks and reversals.

Kawhi Leonard's transfer last season won the Toronto Raptors their first Championship. LeBron James finally met Anthony Davis and James Harden reunited with Russell Westbrook. Monster rookie Zion Williamson is calmly preparing for his debut.

The US sports media ESPN recently conducted a survey of its basketball journalists and columnists who anticipate the 2019-2020 season and published the results online.

Which team will be the loudest next season? Which club will receive the attention of fans not only in terms of performance but also outside the game? This may be good or bad.

The choice of ESPN panels is the Houston Rockets. Scoring votes earned the highest 69 points out of the 30 teams. James Harden and Russell Westbrook's reunion and their coexistence, both of which have high ball possession, are one of the main concerns of the upcoming season.

Davis joined the Los Angeles Lakers, Kevin Durant with Kyrie Irving in second place.

Which team expects the best results compared to the previous season?

The Lakers came in first with 95 points. The Lakers remained in 10th place in the Western Conference with a 37-45 victory with James last season.

New Orleans Pelicans, who won the first rookie of the year this year, signed Zion Williamson and traded Davis to the Lakers, bringing a number of players, including Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball.

Williams is the No. 1 candidate for Rookie of the Year expected by ESPN experts. He Scored 143 points to beat Memphis Grizzlies' rookie Guard Ja Morant (88 points).

How many times will the Lakers win in the next two seasons after the deal with LeBron James is finalized?

51.5% of the surveyed ESPN panels predicted that LeBron's Lakers would never win. 48.5% said they would do it once.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), who won the first regular league MVP debut last season, received the most points.

He scored 90 points, beating Stephen Curry of Golden State Warriors (63 points), James Harden(34 points) and Joel Embiid of Philadelphia 76ers (33 points).

In addition, 87.9% of ESPN panels predicted that Giannis Antetokounmpo will sign an extension contract with Milwaukee Bucks next summer. If Antetokounmpo does not agree to the extension, he can become a free agent in the summer of 2021.

Where is the strongest candidate for the next season?

ESPN experts cited the Los Angeles Clippers, who signed Leonard and Paul George.

The Clippers scored a total of 117, followed by Milwaukee (85), Philadelphia (38), Lakers (29), Golden State (15), Houston (11) and Utah Jazz (3).
