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?

Hot take but Memphis. A bad season might help them in the long run depending on what pick they get this year and who they draft. They need to fire their coach though

We’ve been the 2 seed two years in a row, why fire Jenkins?

I think they have issues beyond the crushing injuries and Ja's suspension.

There's definitely a lot of young talent there, but whether or not the pieces will ever fit well enough to become a contender is still yet to be determined.

Ja puts up numbers and highlights, but he's an undersized guard that can't shoot or defend. Whether or not he will actually make the necessary improvements is anyone's guess.

Im not sure how Memphis joins the contender ranks before Minnesota, OKC, Orlando, Sacramento, or even Charlotte.
