Top Ten Best Offensive NBA Teams Coming Into the 2019-20 Season
Offense is a very big part of the game. Something that is perfected and brought to a science. It is the way you score points. You can score in multitudes of ways and it is the coaches responsibility to build an offense that can do that. The teams on this list will be based off of coach system and the players themselves.Head coach: Frank Vogel

I think the Lakers will have the best offense. First, let's look at the coaches. We have Frank Vogel, who isn't bad, and we have some pretty good assistants with Jason Kidd and Lionel Hollins. They have very defensive-minded coaches, but just look at this team overall. LeBron and AD are an instant success. They have LeBron playing point guard with AD at his natural position. I love both of those moves. They got Danny Green, who is a lights-out three-point shooter. They also have Kyle Kuzma, and they will probably have a dominant big man coming off the bench.
This Bucks team is still a high-powered monster. They have Giannis, and they kept Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and added a few more pieces. Bud Ball was one of the best offenses last year, and expect it to be excellent again. If Giannis takes another step in his shooting, he may be in contention for GOAT down the line.
The Rockets have a very dynamic offense. First, a Mike D'Antoni offense will always be on this list. Second, I think Harden and Westbrook can play well together, and Capela can provide a dump down to these two at all times, and Westbrook can get Harden some open looks. Lastly, they have pretty good shooters around them.
In my opinion, one of the most underrated teams in the league. This offense is going to be really good. We get to see Luke Walton run this team, and he likes playing fast basketball, which fits with this team's identity. They obviously have De'Aaron Fox, who might already be a top ten point guard in the league. They have a much-improved Buddy Hield to make big shots. They have Bogdan Bogdanovic as a fire starter. Then, of course, they will have a second-year Marvin Bagley. This Kings team is scary.
I mean, Kyrie is one of the best players in the league offensively, and DeAndre Jordan is a good roll option. I would put them a lot higher, but they will be without KD for at least most of the season. I love Caris LeVert, either off the bench as a 6th man or starting. In case DeAndre Jordan doesn't work out, they have Jarrett Allen and Spencer Dinwiddie for Kyrie. They also have some excellent shooters, especially Joe Harris. That is all capped off by Kenny Atkinson's genius.
Mike Conley boosts this team tremendously. He and Donovan could work out well. Getting Bojan was smart as well. He can provide a lot of punch either off the bench or in the starting lineup.
Luka and Porzingis. I think that says it all. Rick Carlisle is a great coach, and the Mavericks are known for doing things right. They also have a very solid point guard in Jalen Brunson, and if they can get shooters, this team will be an offensive juggernaut.

The Warriors are on this list because of Curry. He could return to MVP status this year because he simply has to carry the team. We will get to see if Steve is truly a good coach since he will be without Klay and Durant, and this will be the first time he is truly tested.
I mean, Joel Embiid is the best center in the league, and Ben Simmons is a top 20 player at the least. They also kept a third scorer in Tobias Harris and got Josh Richardson, who is one of the best role players in the league. Brett Brown is also a good offensive coach.
The only reason they are this low is because of the overall age of this team. This team might be number one in a few years. We always have to start with Zion. Zion is just a pure beast. Lonzo has the potential to be a top 5 guard in this league. He might already be the best passer. Brandon Ingram is a great all-around player. J.J. Redick can flat out shoot, and occasionally so can Josh Hart.
The Suns honestly have potential, but they have just struggled. Devin Booker is truly a premier scorer, and the addition of Ricky Rubio could help DeAndre Ayton get more involved. They have the possibility of having a dynamic offense, probably the best since Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire.
The Heat definitely have the potential. Jimmy Butler is a premier player. If they can surround him with the right pieces, it could be big. Erik Spoelstra is a great coach as well, one of the best in my opinion.
I can see a little awkwardness with Kawhi and PG offensively. They definitely have great scorers, though, with Kawhi, PG, Lou Williams, and Montrezl Harrell. Doc Rivers is a great coach as well.
I mean, Blake Griffin is a great scorer, and we could see a revitalized Derrick Rose.
I love the offense the Hawks have created. Trae Young is a great scorer, and he has great pieces around him.
I mean, they still have Dame and CJ. They have a dynamic roll big man in Hassan Whiteside, and they have another traditional big man who had a huge season last year in Jusuf Nurkic.
