    Lol. Now that you say that I’m thinking about who the tank teams are gonna be…

    Portland has a ton of talent but might be towards the bottom. Detroit too? Jazz? Rockets seem like they want to contend.

    There’s so much damn talent in the league that even the basement dwellers are still gonna have some dudes.

      The issue I see with teams like the blazers is that they have enough talent to be vaguely competitive and get hopes up but never enough to actually be a threat. Unless they fully commit to a rebuild they’ll likely be perennial contenders for the play-in.

      I feel like the pistons and rockets have been tanking… they seem to have young cores but idk what they’re development prospects are like.

        The classic. Too bad to win a championship, but too talented to tank for the draft. Hopefully their young talent proves more lethal than expected and can push them to be more competitive. Post-dame will certainly be interesting if he is even going to be gone for next season.
