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?

The Bulls

I know the Lavine DeRozan and Vucevic trio haven't been very successful but I am sure if we keep running it 3 or 4 more yearseventually we will get a different result.

My best guess would be Brooklyn as a contender. They look scrappy this year and have a lot of draft capital that could pay dividends.

Thunder and Magic

Not all teams keep developing linearly.

So you look at the breakouts from last year and this year (so far) I would pick one, but definitely not all of them.

Maybe you look at OKC as the vanguard moving forward.

It seems like a ton of people are buying wemby stock, I haven’t seen enough of him yet. Perhaps in 3 years they make one or two moves and are knocking on the door.

Maybe the magic find a way to make a consistent(ly good) offence.

Maybe it’s still the Celtics.

a Fox-Murray led kings sounds like the beginnings of an absolute monster parlay. (I wouldn’t put my house on it).

If Utah gets this Flagg kid maybe it times up with their other good players terming into Quality. Kessler and Markenan.

I think it’s quite easy to frame most teams 3 years out too much guess work.

Houston could make a case with few adjustments. Sengun will become a problem in a few years.

Cavs (if they keep Spida), Grizzlies, and Knicks

[–] DreDay_Fuego@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kings, Hornets, and Spurs.

The Celtics are juggernaut contenders right now.

OKC is next

Kings are one piece away from being it.

Pelicans were supposed to be it by now

I feel like the Wolves could get there with ANT's progression, if KAT can get his shit together and stay playing well for a whole playoff run

Apart from the obvious answers of OKC, what about the pistons? Great coach, young talent, draft capital. No?

Idk if itll be on the Mavs but Luka will be playing in the Finals in 2-3 years

[–] bluepineapple42069@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

We’ll somehow make it back. With a 40 year old Butler and the 3rd string of G Leaguers after all out starters get injured

[–] Shootit_Rockets@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Rockets Spurs and Thunder will run the west once again
