@masonduffy820 actually, let that serve as warning for greedy GM's. With the ammount of young talent and the need to create stable rotations, GM's shoupd focus on draft, development and teamwork. Maybe superstars quit being such drama queens and respect their clubs better...
@@BiggidyB You never know with the draft lottery! The Clippers could have the 8th worst record and the Nets and Wizards worst and second worst records and the Clippers could jump them, giving OKC Flagg! It’s all about how the lottery balls align!
Not gonna lie, clippers might need to be in a tier by themselves. Idk if you can trade kawhi or harden with there age and injury issues for anything that really helps the franchise, they don’t really have any notable young guys, they have no picks.. once this team crashes down.. they are gonna have to take a awhile to rebound like the nets who actually had to just build a competent team at some point, trade the pieces for 3 superstars and then trade them later for assets to build there future.
The Lakers and the Suns are in poor, but easily salvagable situations. Just need some patience, good scouting and probably trading their few super good players away for additional picks. The Clippers are in basketball hell. They're in the location the Nets were in after they traded for KG and Paul Pierce. They are dogshit but also have no possibility of getting high picks until the early 2030s. So barring finding a Jokic, they are going to be completely dogshit for a long, long time
@@jonathand.t.5051 - once kawhi and harden are done they are gonna have to take flyers on free agency like in the pass teams did with d’lo, Randle, grant, etc. hope to get someone or a few of those guys that end up improving there game and then try to trade to some contenders or near contenders team to get a few first round picks over the years to try to rebuild that roster.

Have you seen their picks? The Nets have the most picks after they traded everyone. They have 4 first round picks in this year's stacked draft itself, even if 3 of them are probably in the 20s unless the Knicks or Milwaukee tank to hell. It's still insane.
Mavs have a pretty underrated future in my opinion. They have Luka obviously, but besides Klay and Kyrie their roster is pretty young and they still have picks to trade in deals.
The jazz disrespect is absolutely diabolical. To be “between 3 and 4” with THEIR ASSETS ALONE is insane. Add onto that the fact that they have an all star, and several bright young players (Kessler, keynote george, Hendricks, Cody Williams, etc)- I’m not saying that these young guys are even all gonna stay in the nba, but they all show a lot of promise and Utah still have a lot of picks from the cavs and Minnesota deals. Terrible take.
Your young players are just 'ok' when compared to other teams. 'Keynote' is good but undersized and a liability on defense. Sexton is really good though, reminds me of Donovan Mitchell, and look what happened to him.
Portland is going to probably be bad for a while but I wouldn’t say they have no future. Those milwaukie picks will probably end up being pretty good, right? If they can put together a decent young squad and those picks start conveying…

Yeah it was a very lazy take IMO. Just because he doesn't understand what they are doing, really does not mean much at the end of the day. I suppose Joe Cronin is not texting him his thoughts on players. LOL Portland has plenty of picks and in the last three drafts they pretty much took BPA.
I don't understand how you put the Knicks so low and then proceeded to rank highly teams that aren't super young, but have solid cores locked up in the medium term (Sac, for example)
ikr, even if for some reason they are not as good as everyone is hoping, they have a lot of good players they can easily trade. They are an A at least in my opinion.
No way Knicks are in the second tier from bottom. Though they have no 1st round picks in '25 (very low chance), '27, '29 and '31, it's unlikely they'll start a rebuild until at least July 2029, the time OG and Brunson become FA; look for no one signed beyond 2029 in the next few years. Plus they still have 1st round picks in '26, '28 (potential swap with Nets) and '30 in addition to a ton of 2nd round picks. This team has the best 5 years window to chase that illusive ring since Pat Riley left town and they'll gladly mortgage their future for it.

Also their valuable bench players like Pritchard and Hauser are locked up on friendly deals for a few more years. They own all of their picks except one I think plus have a ton of 2nd rounders stacked up from other teams. How's that tier 3 or 4?😂😂 2 minimum but they're deservedly in the 1st tier.

D- White is worth one first round pick maybe two if lucky and Kristaps idk if team would pick up his contract or give him a new contract if he leave or if he gets traded.

Whoever wins the lottery and gets Cooper Kupp after a year under Coach K’s leadership will be in the top tier. Imagine if OKC gets him with the Clippers pick. Basically SGA and Cooper Kupp for Paul George.
There's no way you put Detroit and Miami this low. Detroit just needs a player/coach with winning mentality and you'll see them rise in the rankings. An MIAMI? are u kidding? Sure, buckets is getting old, but he can still be traded, Adebayo is bound to be an all-nba calibre player, and you're underestimating their young players and the ability of the coaching staff... Jaquez was all-nba rookie, Jovic just needs more minutes, Ware is gonna be a star, Highsmith is proving to be a valid asset... they do this EVERY YEAR! Coach Spo is gonna surprise a lot of people this year and maybe even winning COY award that has eluded him for years.
The Clippers Thunder trade might be worse all time than the Nets Celtics one. I mean these bums might seriously gift the Thunder Cooper Flagg this year…
I feel like you gotta give the LA teams a little more grace, despite how bad things look they are always in the market for free agents because players want to be in LA
I just want to point out one thing, while I agree with the Bucks take you said Brook Lopez old and always injured…… Lopez had one year injured and every other year with the Bucks has barely missed a game. So old yes but can’t call Brook Lopez always injured.
You know if Rob Pelinka was managing the Lakers they would honestly jump a tier cause at least I would know what direction they would want. If you couldn't tell I don't like Rob Pelinka
Honestly I think the Suns future, while it is VERY stressful, questionable, and tough on paper in terms of building, I think that as long as the have Booker that they will be competing. Lakers not so much, and Clippers definitely not. And I think in Matt Ishbia and James Jones, they have a much better front office than the LA teams. Ishbia and Balmer are both willing to spend, but James Jones is an incredible manager.
These sort of videos are silly. All any of the “no future” teams have to do is trade some of their win-now talent and BAM, now they have a bright future.
The Lakers always have a bright future bec they find ways to sign top stars and make big trades. I’ll take that over a cheap team that hordes draft picks and overpay role players any day
Clippers are in a tier of their own; they're in the purgatory. The Paul George trade will absolutely go down as the worst trade in the NBA history, worse than Hawks trading Bill Russell and Hornets trading Kobe. Even if OKC 3-peat in the next 3 seasons, they still have 3 legitimate shots at getting that #1 pick! Clippers and Blazers will be at the bottom in the west and among the 5 worst in the league this season. They have better hope their ping pong balls will somehow be lighter than others in 2025 ... and '26, '27, '28, '29 and '30 🤦♂
What in the world are the Lakers doing near the bottom? Outside of Lebron, they're a young team with several good role players, most of their draft picks, no pick swaps, and a superstar who is only 31 and still worth a lot if they were to trade him, and they don't have any bad contracts that would slow down a rebuild if they wanted to do that. I don't see what's so dark about their future. It's hardly a championship core minus Lebron, but they haven't fallen into any "win now" traps like the Clippers or Suns have done.
Their role players aren’t that good. They aren’t that deep. Lebron is old and they missing like half their firsts over the next 8 years. Ad is their only real asset
@@Shortballa11 Not true. They owe a first this year which probably is mid to late round. And they've owe the Jazz a protected pick in '27. After that, they have all their other first round picks. I don't see what's actually bad about their situation. They don't have any bad contracts either, so they've got flexibility there too.
The Lakers owe a pick. They have most of their draft capital post 2026. Ofc that said I think your position for them is still justified. Rob Pelinka and Jeannie Buss are amateurs and will continue to be likely
They owe a 2025 and a 2027 pick. LeBron and AD are getting older. Obviously not an ideal day for this to go up because DK went off yesterday but in general their core just doesn’t look great to me
They owe two picks, this year's 2025 pick which again at beat will be outside the top 15 so realistically you don't get superstar players at that pick. AD is still under contract untill 2027 and is still a top 10 player in the league, DK looks like a stud so far, Austin reaves is on one of the best value contracts in the nba. Rui is one of the best playoff shooters of all time percentage wise. The lakers have shown they can identify talent in the draft and develop that talent to create quality players such as reaves, caruso, kuzma etc. I think everyone gets so caught up in the lebron factor of him being 40 you don't realise what the lakers and can do post lebron. Lebron will atleast be here for another season after this one and he's still on his day the best player in the league (Olympics example). And also it's the lakers who always attract big name stars. Luka, giannas could be available a few years down the line there teams don't meet expectations.
Lakers is so false man what are you doing? They literally have all their picks after this season. A lot of their best players other than Bron and AD are 26 and younger. When Bron retires they'll be in position to acquire another young star. this is weird on your part
The Lakers aren't bad, but they aren't good either. Many players are at an age where they cannot get significantly better. And right now the Lakers are a Play in team... It's good that you have your draft picks, but they will most likely be in the 10+ range. You can get a good role player in that range, but you have to be lucky to land a future star. To sign a contract with a new star... You live in the past. In today's world, you either don't have enough money to offer (salary cap) or the new star's home team can offer more. You have to make a trade to get the stars and the Lakers have a problem with the resources to offer in trades. The resources are not bad, but don't call them good either.

AD is still under contract untill 2027 and is still a top 10 player in the league, DK looks like a stud so far, Austin reaves is on one of the best value contracts in the nba. Rui is one of the best playoff shooters of all time percentage wise. The lakers have shown they can identify talent in the draft and develop that talent to create quality players such as reaves, caruso, kuzma etc. I think everyone gets so caught up in the lebron factor of him being 40 you don't realise what the lakers and can do post lebron. Lebron will atleast be here for another season after this one and he's still on his day the best player in the league (Olympics example). And also it's the lakers who always attract big name stars. Luka, giannas could be available a few years down the line there teams don't meet expectations.
Lakers is so false man what are you doing? They literally have all their picks after this season. A lot of their best players other than Bron and AD are 26 and younger. When Bron retires they'll be in position to acquire another young star. this is weird on your part
not watching the rest of this shit. learn ball
Someone's angry
The Lakers aren't bad, but they aren't good either. Many players are at an age where they cannot get significantly better. And right now the Lakers are a Play in team... It's good that you have your draft picks, but they will most likely be in the 10+ range. You can get a good role player in that range, but you have to be lucky to land a future star.
To sign a contract with a new star... You live in the past. In today's world, you either don't have enough money to offer (salary cap) or the new star's home team can offer more. You have to make a trade to get the stars and the Lakers have a problem with the resources to offer in trades. The resources are not bad, but don't call them good either.
@@normunds1986 they aren't bottom 3 bad and they still have a 30 year old AD, Tradeable contracts and all their picks. very very stupid take
If I had a nickel for every *"Boo-hoo-hoo! Boo-HOO! The disrespect to **___________** is crazy!! You lost all credibility with that one!!"* that predictably shows up under vids like this, I'd have $14 Million dollars and 5 cents.
