Future NBA powerhouse teams

Since we know the Cavs and Warriors wont last forever, what young teams do you see starting to make some noise in the playoffs?
If you look at the 76ers and Timberwolves, you have to be somewhat excited about the future of these young teams.
76ers: Fultz, Saric, Simmons, Okafor, Embiid.
Timberwolves: Rubio, Butler, Wiggins, KAT.
With a couple more years of maturity, I could see these teams being title contenders.

Wolves still want to trade Rubio

Ah the injury-prone 76ers, hopefully Fultz doesn't incur the same fate as Simmons and Embiid

If the Celtics can be patient and wait out LeBron and the Warriors, they should be the next dominant team. They just have to stay patient. I wouldn't sign Hayward and would let Brown and Tatum develop. I would also keep every pick they have and maybe even trade Thomas for more assets.

What are the chances of the Kings being any good?
Posted on 6/26/17 at 2:45 pm to Ryan3232
Pelicans. They've got 2 bigs. If they can keep a healthy lineup and maybe get one more perimeter threat in free agency, you're looking at a team that is built to beat the Warriors.

lol
Embiid: Small sample size, and made of glass
Simmons: NO sample size, though he will likely be good
Futz: Who knows what he is yet
Okafor: Severe drop in level of play from year 1 to year 2. Has played in 103 out of 164 games.
Saric: Decent rookie year, but that class is awful
They will be fun to watch develop, but predicting them to be a powerhouse team is ridiculous

I'll take that group over minny. Milwaukee. Etc. any young core.

Portland: Lillard, CJ and Nurk. Second best record post all star break with Nurk even going down. Can't wait to see them play a season together hopefully healthy.

It's pretty obvious the drafting of Luke Kennard means tFW is on the fast track to a 6-8 seed...after that, sky is the limit.

Wolves would have been better off in the long term keeping Lauri Markkanen. He is the next Dirk, bookmark that.
3 years from now and beyond KAT, Markkanen, and Wiggins would have been easily the best front court in the NBA

I would as well. They're stacked from 1-5 with blue chip prospects.
Will be interesting to see how they navigate the cap. These contracts, while awesome now, don't help them reach the salary floor and will hit them in a very short time span when it comes to extending them.
Also, someone is ragging on Minny for trading for Butler and not keeping the 7 ft euro that went #7??? There are some awful takes in this thread.
