These 5 NBA Teams Have The Most Bleak Future 

i was gonna say they for sure come to mind first when i hear "bleak future" LMAO

Sheeeesh

Exactly. The suns were in a good spot when they had the chance to move cp3 & ayton for a few good role players to fill out the roster. But instead the suns messed up trading all of that for Beal & Nurkic. Waste.

Suns, Lakers, and Warriors imo need to be discussed.

@eltoro_ttv suns & clippers yes. They are a mess. They don't have no draft picks or trade assets. At least the Lakers & and Warriors are destinations players wanna come too with championship history. Plus, the Lakers have trade assets in austin reeves, Rui, D-lo, & a couple of picks. Warriors have trade assets in kaminga, wiggins, CP3, & moody, & a couple of picks. Plus, i trust Lebron, AD, & curry to deliver or play > KD, booker, Beal, Kawhi, Harden, & PG at this current stage of their careers.

And still put up 20ppg lol

Who?

@@michaelhaydenbell Exactly!

Had a neck and ankle injury as well while dealing with the loss of a close relative

@@janoycresnova9156casual

No kidding, that was stupid as hell. He will be just fine, short of being traded into an absolute dumpster fire type of situation.

facts Garland will bounce back fr

Who?

Exactly people don't understand how extreme weight loss or gain and then subsequently having to lose/gain back all that weight can be extremely taxing on an athlete physically

honestly how does this clown have 500k subs with these lazy ass casual takes is beyond me

How can Andy miss the clippers and suns ? Andy is no experts in hoops

@@sting114I mean they’ve been talked about to death so I’m not mad at him missing those teams

Most likely will do a part 2. I'd also add my Lakers, as much as it hurts me

@@sting114The guy sounds like AI and you have high expectations.

​@@vivanlosgatoslomejorYeah if Lebron leaves the Lakers, and the Pelicans choose the Lakers 2025 1st round pick (from the AD trade). You're somewhat fucked depending on your FA signings

Bulls too lol

Detroit too they don’t even deserve a draft pick if they just keep on failing every single year

@talesfromthetrip pistons, yes. They can't ever get it right for the last 15 years. Bulls have a bright future once they trade zach lavine, nikola vucevic, & alex caruso. The bulls could load up on picks & young talent.

@@peace_of_mind_00 But who will take Lavine?

The pelicans future isn't bad. They could load up on draft picks and more young assets with Zion, mccollum, & ingram trades of that were to ever happen. The kings have 2 all stars in Fox & sabonis jr. A small market like that can't do to much better than that. The kings are a playoff team. They are just a zach lavine trade, or alex caruso & johnathan issac or jerami grant trade away from being a sure playoff team in the west. I can't argue with none of the other teams.

I couldn't imagine wasting my career like that

They should be #1 on the list. 2nd worst contact in the league in Kawhi. Probably losing either harden pg or both. Even if you do resign both of them, that’s just more bad contracts. No picks going forward, and what should have been your future star is the thunders instead.

There's some delusional Clippers fans on Twitter who I've gotten into arguments about regarding this and I agree with you completely. I'm not even hating on the Clippers in these discussions, it's just an observation based on their roster and overall situation. All old, past prime, injury prone stars with no young talent or prospects to be excited about, no future assets worth mentioning... they're in the playoff mix at the moment because of their star power, but in a few years, they're going to be back to being the Clippers of old (90s and most of the 2000s) barring any blockbuster trades. I think the best thing they could do at this moment is try to trade Paul George for some younger players with upside and future 1st round picks, but I don't think they're going to do that. And as a result, I think they'll continue to be in the mix for another season or two, but not close to winning a championship, and their future will be ugly.

Clippers are stuck with an injured kawhi. Probably have to resign Harden & Russ.

The 2028 pick they gave to Philly is going to hurt them since they’re probably tanking at that point

How can Andy miss the clippers? Can someone ask him why he didn’t put the clippers on this list??!?!?

they have a bleak past, present and future

Hey at least next year's draft class is good

Yes they do. They mesed up not getting much for Beal. Trading for poole was silly. Missing on draft picks. Wizards are a mess.

⁠@@peace_of_mind_00Beal has a no trade clause and giant contract so the wizards were not going to get much value regardless

At this point is just Bleak Existence.

That’s what Lebron and Kyrie said before they left Cleveland. I do hope Mitchell stays tho

@@marekboldin4386big facts look around the league 2nd round is as good as it gets for them

@@kaels3262 i feel bad for low market teams cause they genuinely stress and think they have a chance they don’t know the league is fake 😂and the league will give the chip to whoever’s fan base is poppin and whoever has more stars it’s jus the truth in all reality

If Cavs are able to keel Mitchell then they are 100% trading Garland and probably Jarrett Allen, depending on those trades we’ll see, but I don’t think the Cavs are trending in the right direction as other teams in the East. I feel like they were better the year the Knicks beat them in the first round than this year

He’s leaving guarantee

Well said, my dude. You hit the nail on the head. This guy's credibility just went into the shitter.

Thank you, that take was absolutely ridiculous. Even if the Cavs decided to completely blow it up, can you imagine the assets they'd get for Mobley, Garland, Allen, AND Mitchell??? I mean...what???

Did u see how garland played in the playoffs and also Mobley has peaked are u insane literally allen is still good injury prone but good… that’s all yall have without Mitchell with the exception of levert yall trash

@@mrsikes410 Let's assume you're correct (which you ain't): Cavs have LeVert, Allen (the famous injury prone guy who missed 5 games the whole year), Mobley (the only man to peak at the age of 22 in the history of the game), Mitchell and 24 years old former all-star Garland which is trash after 1 bad playoff series. That's still a better position to be in than 50% of the league right now.

​@@michaelhaydenbell Exactly! We live in a world where Suns gave up 3 SRP and a 1st for Royce fucking O'Neal. Struss is probably worth at very least the same. Watch Mitchell re-sign and Cavs trade Allen for Ingram and this guy eat his shitty take for breakfast.

The Suns still have a stacked team. These teams listed are already in the doghouse roster wise, or suffering from injuries.

​@@into_play3226just wait till kd wants to leave

@@into_play3226are you serious? 2/3 stars are in their mid 30’s, they have no draft picks for like the next 5 years, and they got swept in the first round. Stacked team my ass

@@into_play3226not stacked they got 3 all stars with Ah bunch of scrubs Beal not Even that good anymore

​@@deadshot244 They have 1st round picks to be fair (2026, 2028, 2030), its just swapped with the Wizards, Brooklyn and Memphis.

Btw 1st

I think they'll try to get Lebron back. Put him on that roster and they're good enough to win the East. They might draft Bronny too lol

@@AirRusher1992 You were not first, and just so you know and can save yourself some time from now on, literally not a single person ever cares even if you were.

@@michaelhaydenbell Yes I did so shut up.

​@@ChawletMelklol LeBron doesn't not turn this current roster into a contender stop

Exactly, just a lazy take

It’s a very weak draft where there will be good players but maybe not a lot of stars in it… and no clear cut number one like last year

They also don’t own their next first round pick for the next three years

Heat nation hopes not

​@@peace_of_mind_00 Keep dreaming

@@ChrisMyma98 i sure am!

Bridges was playing lights out. And he still has the potential to be a superstar on the right team.

@@into_play3226 nah all star not a superstar

Mikal will be a nice robin at the most

​@@into_play3226Nah he ain't built to be a superstar tho, been watching the Nets often and as you can see him play this 2024 season, he proved that he is not capable of leading his team as a 1st option.

++ Should've accepted the Rockets offer of Jalen Green and multiple picks for Mikal Bridges, and could've gotten the 3rd pick instead.

If this team implodes, that means they have traded Booker or KD for picks and young players. They have a reset button so that's the fallback plan

@@enricomiguelrequilman6000 Booker is the one player that they'd want to keep because he's young, and KD would not get close to the return that a player of his talent should because of his history. Not just because of his injury history, moreso because of his constant failing and him not caring at all to get along with teammates or to do anything besides basketball. The only time KD has ever had success was in Golden State, a team that had already won a title without him. You aren't trading a ton for an aging KD who brings the complete opposite of leadership to your team.

Or here’s a possibility he’s had stacked teams and just can’t win… shocking I know

@@nicholaszikos3851 all bc he can’t stay healthy

That tobias contract handicapped the team for 5 and a half years embiid was 24 going on 25 when the sixers traded for tobias let that sink in 😂

Did cam thomas play in the playoffs?

Cade Cunningham is light years ahead of Cam Thomas both good young players but Cade is generational Player pistons organization is dogshit and don’t know how to build around him

Man, being a Nets fan must be rough lol, out here defending the honor of "superstar" Cam fuckin Thomas...

There's no way in the name of Dr. Naismith. Did you say Cam thomas is better than cade Cunningham 😆

Cam Thomas at this stage is what he is a skilled shot jacker who literally offers next to nothing out of the floor if he isn't scoring a nice player but not someone you could build a team around

Trae Young's game has L-O-S-E-R written all over it. If you can get value for him, sell.

You know ball

People don’t like defense anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️

He's on point.

Why is that?

That's the problem with the Cavs, from day 1. Everyone seemed to see it but them. They're too redundant. Garland and Mitchell got the same roles, pretty much. Same with Mobley and Allen being basically the same as well. I thought they'd trade away someone like Mobley to get a true high level SF. But nah, they didn't. Who's starting at their 3? Max Strus? Trading away Mitchell for a high level SF makes them a contender imo.

Hey, they still somehow had 30+ wins this season, which is actually good because, personally, I thought they were really going to fall off and barely get just above 20 wins.

Good! #SaltyHeatfan

Aren’t they the youngest team in the league though? Lot of room to grow, that’s some reason for optimism.

I would say: 1. OKC 2. Minnesota 3. Boston

@@janoycresnova9156 I agree with those teams too! I root for Boston vs. Minnesota in these Finals, with the Boston Celtics winning! OKC is a team on the rise too, and they’re set for another playoff run!

That's the conundrum with a player like Mitchell who isn't really a traditional PG or a traditional sg he's a sg that utilizes very little off ball movement and likes to have the ball in his hands a lot and likes to score over being a ball mover and facilitator all that isn't necessarily a bad thing especially when you have a player that can score like Mitchell can but it's a play style that can clash with other play styles if his backcourt partner doesn't mesh with him we are seeing a similar dynamic in Atlanta generally having to ball dominant and/or shoot first guards in the back court is not a recipe for success

Broker. Jaw

Dawg that’s not a flex lmao that means you’re just a casual fan

@@offwhitejayR2E if I'm a casual why do I have 7 likes ur just a cavs fan who knows the team is ass and boring to watch stfu

Lmao congrats?

I don't think the kings should be. They are doing okay these days. They have a two stars in Fox & sabonis jr. Kings just need to retool this off season. Add another piece or two just like most teams.

@@peace_of_mind_00 Not gonna lie, the Kings probably need to do more than that and I swear if Sacramento Kings doesn't win a playoff series next year or the next 2 years, I'm gonna say that it's time to blow it up for real

@Kings0424 i think the kings are a zach lavine trade away. Or two good role players like alex caruso & johnathan issac away from being a 50-win team, & playoff series win away since 04 from being what you envision.

@@peace_of_mind_00 Yeah I agree

As a Bucks fan, I partially agree. I don't think they'll be screwed any time soon, as long as they have Giannis, they'll be okay, but I do agree that they have a 1-2 season window with Giannis/Dame to bring in a championship, otherwise, it's not happening and I don't think Giannis will win again on the Bucks, he'd have to go somewhere else. Not sure if Giannis will stay or leave but I don't think they have enough of a bench presence. No future assets really. No coveted trade pieces. We're just not deep enough of a roster. Hoping Giannis/Dame chemistry on the court next season is much improved from this season. If they could find a way to make that work, they could genuinely be the best duo in the NBA. Pretty much any team that's older doesn't have the brightest future. Their core is old and they don't have any super exciting young prospects.

@@ant4613it’s time to retool brook is getting older, middleton is cooked, and revamp the bench

Masais dumbass may have delayed the rebuild by a year or 2, but they have good pieces, Scottie and Gradey can be elite #2 and #3s imo (and i belive Scottie has the potential to be as good as a Jayson Tatum calliber player if not better) and all things considered they did really good with the OG trade and i didnt really like the Pascal trade but it got them some picks and Bruce as a trade chip / salary. I liked the Kelly and Ochai trade. They have cap flexibility now and i can see them making a play in push and making the playoffs as the 8 seed if they have a really good offseason and draft night

@@mike_oxhurt154 we delayed the re build process just to make a play in spot last year.

@@mike_oxhurt154 the play in is a joke to me. You got 82 games to prove your one of 16 out of 30 which is half pretty much. Just to give the 9 and 10 another chance. Which haven't made it in yet. The only thing it's managed to do is flip the 7 and 8 seed

Not really. They have a first and an early second in this draft, their future picks, an extra future first and promising young players

​@@zacharylopez8506big facts I'll never respect the play in tourney

I think trade Dejounte Murray for picks and some role or talented young players, also draft alex sarr and atlanta will have 50+ win in season
