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?

I was at Celtics-Bucks on Wednesday and it was legitimately stunning that Brook Lopez was the best player for Milwaukee during that game. If basketball had a "Hall of Pretty Good", he'd be inducted on the first ballot.

He’s the Nets all-time leading scorer and should have been DPOY last year. If he puts up a couple more DPOY seasons, he’ll have at least a minor argument for Hall of Fame

I’m biased but Triple J definitely deserved it even though it was close and BroLo had a monster season. Regardless, you can’t really use “should’ve been DPOY” to his resume, and he needs at least one before we start saying “a couple more DPOY seasons”. He’s pretty old so I don’t personally see it happening, but that doesn’t take away from his talent and impact.

Yeah it doesn’t really matter much now, but they were very close in defensive presence. I think the easy tiebreaker should have been games played. Lopez did it for 78, JJJ only 63.

Please don’t think I hate JJJ lol, I’m a Michigan State alum so I’m a big fan
