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?

Of all the young cores, OKC is the only one I’m confident is on a championship trajectory. They check off all the boxes - franchise player, young two-way supporting cast, good coach, ample draft capital.

Pacers and Hawks have defensive issues, Orlando has spacing issues, pelicans have health issues. Spurs have their superstar but they’ll need a few years to grow.

Cavs, kings, wolves, grizzlies - not confident that they have a championship ceiling with their current cores. Dallas is trending upwards but has work to do. These teams are all exciting but the unfortunate reality is that most of them will top out as decent playoff teams.

Are you really concerned that they won’t be able to rebound in 2 years? They have so many tradable assets that they might have a very different team in 2 years. Look at Phoenix and Boston. Compare their rosters now to 3 years ago.

How many contenders still have 3 of the same starters from 3 years ago?

I was just stating an issue they have rn just like every other team. Obviously they can eventually fix it just like i think orlando will eventually fix their spacing too

Its wild how people are crowning a team for years to come that hasn’t even made the playoffs yet
