Top 5 teams looking like the future is doomed (not in particular order)

Clippers- no choice but to compete but they are completely struggling, OKC own their future and no young player to build around

Bucks- almost same as clippers, yes they can stack some wins but this is not a championship caliber squad tbh.
- Giannis might be gone soon

Pelicans- by now they should be in the position to compete but injuries keep on destroying the teams' potential. I dont see anything good that is happening despite having a lot of picks and young players.
Reco: Trade away Murray, Poole and Zion

Wizards- same with Pelicans, have the assets but there is no clear top notch player on their youngsters. They are bad as is

Kings - looks like a makeshift squad and if your best player is Russell Westbrook (yes he is) at that age, you are doomed
Reco: Get as much assets for Sabonis, dump Lavine and Derozan, they arent winners

Honorable mention: Brooklyn Nets (so many young players with very low ceiling)


Top 5 teams with best future (not in order)

Thunder - man, already won a championship, big 3 is secured and all what they have is simply replaceable with that many of high draft picks - Presti the genius

Rockets - despite having an aging Durant, they still have a lot of young players and building assets for their future. Looks like they can potentially swing a huge consolidating move to elevate their potential even more

Spurs - same with Rockets, and they have Wemby. That's it

Blazers - I believe this team has a lot of good young players and they have assets to swing a huge trade for a superstar like Giannis

Magic - though they gave up a lot for Bane, atleast they positioned themselves to compete now. While having Paolo and Franz having a Tatum-Brown partnership vibes, they can really be special in the future. Just need to be more patient

Honorable Mention: Chicago Bulls - Giddey and Buzelis looking like a pair of stars for their future

As a Lakers fan, sorry but i'm laughing my a** off on Nico. Now dallas can move on and rebuild around cooper. Irving and AD wont give them a championship, they need to trade them and get as much assets as they could.

I still just don’t understand the idea of trying to continue to win after trading Luka. Trading him made no sense. Trading him for win now pieces made even less sense.

The haul they could have gotten would have been great to restart the franchise. The haul they’re going to get for AD is going to be underwhelming and make the original deal look even worse.

Well BMiller, it might be rigged I guess but I dont like to think that way. I totally agree with you, it's really senseless for Dallas. There are a few guys in the league that we can consider as a true number one option and Luka is one of them. Damn Nico Harrison damaging that fan base so bad.

Since the AD trade to the Lakers, the Pels still haven't achieve anything. And until now they are terrible. Meanwhile, the Lakers already converted AD into a 2020 championship and Luka Doncic. The Pels management need to do something different. I would love a full rebuild. I only have Fears and Murphy as keepers. I would trade everyone and start anew.

i think they could have positive value for some teams.
You don't have to give up a pick to trade them.

Jonathan Kuminga Situation:
Has a qualifying offer, or change the Warriors' 3yrs offer into a player option or trade him..

I think the Warriors best choice is to trade him.. and get a 1st rd pick..
