Most teams are a lucky draft pick away from being good. My Mavs for example, we were going nowhere post Dirk, but we drafted Luka, now we are contending for years to come. Easier said than done though.
Agreed, but the problem with the Clippers, Bucks and Suns is they don't control any of their draft picks for the foreseeable future. They don't even have the option of getting lucky in the draft
I'm glad the Bulls weren't mentioned here given their history and failure to develop players in the right way But they are heading in the right direction with the youth movement even though I don't expect them to win many games this coming season. I'm eager to see how good Matas Buzelis can really be
I wish we'd stop with the "failure to develop players" storyline. Zach Lavine became an all star here, Coby White, Ayo. Want to go back a bit? How about Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich, Taj Gibson etc. Lauri definitely got traded too early for sure. Wendell isn't much different other than adding a 3pt shot. Other than them, who are all these players that the Bulls failed to develop? Regardless, the player should get the lion's share of the blame.

Maybe I’m delusional, but I think the Lakers are not totally out of championship contention. Not the current lineup, but Bron and AD are still on that level in my eyes, and I’m optimistic about Knecht and JJ. I definitely don’t put them on the level of other teams like OKC, Mavs, Wolves, maybe others. But I do think Denver is flailing a little with Jamal not playing at the level he once did (Jokic is still the best though). Lakers could be like two trades and some good coaching away from a 4-seed run to the finals.
Bron and AD are still on that level, but they were healthy throughout most of last season, and the Lakers still struggled. Who knows if Knecht will even get the PT necessary to prove himself (it's well-known that LeBron doesn't care to play with young talent long-term)? JJ has no coaching experience, so who knows how he will do?
You’re definitely delusional. First time In the lakers tenure that both lebron and AD were both healthy, AD played the most games in his career. Lebron will be 40 and I can guarantee AD will not be injury free considering his track record. Back to back injury free seasons would be a miracle. They made no big moves this offseason while barely making the playoffs last season. I anticipate the lakers missing the playoffs and will fight all year for the play in
@@urbaindelva7869 JJ _still_ won't have any coaching experience, as long as LeBron continues to be the Lakers coach and President of Basketball Ops.

I respectfully disagree with most of this list. Teams that are willing to spend money and make trades usually find ways to be competitive. It’s the cheap teams, poor drafting teams, never getting top tier FA teams, and/or teams that make few trades are the ones that are usu bad.

I think the Lakers are fine as far as their team and draft capital. I don't see any particular reason why Russell has to leave after this year. He could have left the last two years, but the Lakers have kept him at a bargain contract. If Lebron retired tomorrow Davis, Russell, Reaves, Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Christie, and Knecht are hardly a core from the dark timeline. The bigger problem is more that I don't trust the front office. It's good that they haven't blown their draft picks for bench players like their fanbase has demanded, but they're still a poorly-run team. They did a decent job of digging out from under the Westbrook trade after blowing up a championship-level squad for no reason, but other than the 2023 trade deadline moves the best I could say about them is that they haven't bitten on bad trades. But if you could parachute in a solid owner and GM, then I would remove the Lakers from this list even if Lebron's getting ready to yield to the inevitable.
Lakers don’t have a bleak future at all. They have all their picks moving forward except ‘27 which is top 5 protected, and with Bron retiring they can pair someone else to play with AD after money is freed up, like Trae or Jalen Green

I think you got it wrong with Washington. First, you clearly don't know about the new FO. They helped build OKC. This isn't the old group who ran The Wizards so if you don't know them what don't you trust. Secondly, Poole struggled early in the season because they weren't playing him right. Once they moved him to PG his average jumped to 21ppg, 6 assists and 4 rebounds on 43-35-95 shooting splits for the rest of the season. He got better and went on to average 23ppg, 8 assists and 4 rebounds on his last 10 games. Now that they know how to play him, he'll be fine and get better. He loved like Golden State Poole at the end of the season! Kuz is still on a team friendly deal and is still pretty good so he can be moved. Bub Carrington is 🔥 and Sar will be fine. Got this wrong buddy! Do your research!
Clippers rejected GSW trade offer that would've net them a 1st rnd pick and a bunch of young role players. They said nah. They rather let PG walk for nothing lmfao. Traded SGA & bunch of real estate & didnt get a single role player back for PG leaving. Poverty franchise.

Le"MVP", on the other hand, has this problem right now, and everybody talks about it.
NO decent free agent wants to play with him.
...same goes for decent coaches. They don't want to work with the diva.
Magic and Kareem had Pat Riley, Kobe and Shaq had Phil Jackson. And Jackson was a LEGEND when he went to coach the Lakers.
Le"MVP" has a podcast guy. 😀
lakers after Dr.Buss died an alltime mismanaged franchise, Bron came to LA and leGM built the entire championship team (he also destroyed it like a year later) lakers front office deserves absolutely no credit for that run or most of the post-season success afterwards. I cannot fathom the dark dark depths this team is gonna reach after a 40 year old top 2 player alltime decides he doesnt wanna be atlas holding up this franchise from falling back down into hell, although i think he deserves some criticism for burning future picks and that godforsaken westbrook trade
The Wizards are going to work their magic and get worse!😂
The Bucks have a coaching problem.. stupidest coaching decision maybe ever .. the players could win..
For the lakers it’s so many what ifs it seem like you just put them in for views
What about the Miami heat
Well, they've shown that they can upset the apple cart in the past, so that's why a lot of people still believe in them. I don't think they'll get away with that now, though.
your voice sound different on this one
Really?
GS is the NBA team with the bleakest future and you don't even mention them.
They’re high on the list, but Kuminga and Podz gives them more promise. Not only that but they have most of their draft picks
Raptors should be included. Only Scottie Barnes is a top player. Not much in their youngsters and lack of picks in the future. Plus the President and GM are living off the championship....years ago.. They are turned lazy, and self entitled.
Charlotte?
It is insane that Lebron is allowed to play when obviously he's juicing to prolong his shitty career .
How dare you put the Lakers on here. They will be good now and good in the future. Whenever LeBron does decide to retire we will get another superstar. It’s the Lakers come on they always get superstars
Yep, I said it. How dare I!
Who is arguing Giannis isn't top 3
its the clippers. theyve never had a bright future. nobody goes to the clippers to win. if kawhi and pg wanted a ring they should have signed with the lakers. the only team in la that should even be there. the clippers never deserved playing in staples. they did nothing to build it
❤
The West coast teams are screwed …. They cannot get any better anytime soon because they have mortgaged their futures for play in type teams …. At best !!!!
Well the kings still have a future …. But they are the kings 🤷♂️
PHX -Dead !!! Not a title contender !!
MN dying to trace Kat to stay out of second tier …. NOBODY wants that contract …..future pics belong to Jazz !!! Oh well
Your comment would make more sense if you actually clarified which Western Conference teams you are referring to. Neither the Suns nor the Wolves were in the play-in last season; the Wolves had the best defense in the league, and they are fresh off of a WCF appearance. What dying do you see from them?
My brother you sound like you are a bit under the weather. If so, get well soon!
Lakers will be okay
After LeGM retires, and his podcast-coach gets fired: maybe.
Don’t play GOAT jr like that. Lakers all the way. Bronny ROY
Lol wow
That is so typically Lebron fan-talk... **g**
Stop it.
The Lakers will continue to suck and get worse so long as the Buss Family owns the team.
clippers sold
Indeed they did
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Dame is not top 15
he's not top 75 either. he needs 2 give that jaccet bac asap.😐😐
@@sebaztionabsolutionGet over it. Are you gonna make him give it back?
If Washington is on this list I believe so does the Bulls.
how washington don’t anyone nobody wants to go there compared to the bulls big market ayo, coby, matas, patrick williams
Damn is defs not top 15 in the league anymore 💀
Street 💩er
Wizards should be in this list by default
This guy future is more bleak
