Many teams are currently in their window (Bucks, Celtics, Suns, Sixers, Nuggets, etc). Who are the teams that are still 2-3 years away, but will be championship juggernauts for years to come?

While I’m biased as an OKC fan, I think it’s somewhat salvageable. Both of our centers are 21 and Chet especially has the length to develop a better rebounding game. The main issue is that OKC only plays one big at a time and the team struggles to box out which affects Chet but especially Jwill who’s not big and needs that help. The lack of a sturdy and athletic PF is really pressing but I think Presti will probably address that eventually

Finding a big heavy boi to grab boards is probably one of the more easily found missing pieces.

Zion to OKC??? (idk if he's even a good rebounder)

Yeahhh there are plenty of reasons to want Zion but his rebounding prowess ain’t at the top of the list😂. When he puts the effort in defensively, he’s shown promise to box out and rebound well. We just only see it in spurts (and it’s usually when he’s performing well already offensively).
