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?

People just listen to what the media says about Sabonis being flawed without actually watching his games. There’s a narrative that he’s not good enough. He is the second best big in the west. He dominates matchups consistently, and is a walking double double, often getting near double digit assists as well. He played most of last year and the playoffs injured and didn’t struggle until the very end. He had two average games this year so far, and every other game he’s been awesome. People just listen to the media without watching the games.

Having said that, the kings are a couple pieces away from being a “perennial” deep playoff threat, and idk about championship contender at all. If it’s gonna happen, we need another star who can defend.

We would have gone to the WCF last year if the refs didn’t try to setup their Lebron/Curry matchup. Would have gotten blown off the court by the Nuggets but the narrative would be totally different right now. It’s hard to see it playing out that way this year, many teams have improved and the playoffs will look different. Just hoping we make it again.
