re: Future NBA powerhouse teams

Philly
Celtics
Milwaukee

Next tier possibilities:
The Nuggets have accumulated some interesting pieces and cap flexibility to do something nice, but we will see.

Toronto, but not with their current roster. I'm a big fan of Masai Ujiri so I'm intrigued with what he does with the roster if the Lowry era is over.

Utah if Hayward comes back. Great coach. Great wing, great young center. I like Donovan Mitchell as their draft pick. Exum is still very young.

Orlando because I like John Hammond and think he'll do some good transforming of that roster.

But all of those next tier teams are multiple moves away obviously and really have to hit on things perfectly and have a lucky draw as well like the Warriors.

I'm not really big on Minnesota's ceiling. Playoff team? Sure. Reaching elite level? No indeed.

ETA: Phoenix possibly? Hinges on Bender's development though.
