12) PCT:

Last Season Record: 104-56 (3rd place)
Best Players: Sexton, Sabonis, Durant, Klay, Oladipo, Rui, Garland, Colby White
Off-Season Additions: Durant, Oladipo, Klay, Rui, Garland, Colby White, Sexton, Sabonis

Port finished the regular season in 3rd place last year after making a bunch of deals in an attempt to compete. This franchise went for it - but things didn't fall his way last season. Realizing that his team was getting older and likely not able to contend with the top teams in this league, Port hit the reset button. He brought in Durant, Oladipo and Klay - all of whom are big question marks for next season. Port isn't playing for next season though so he can comfortably wait on these three guys. He was also able to draft Rui, Colby White and Darius Garland. Of the three I like Rui the most. Port has a lot of options as next off season gets near. He could move his young guys and compete with a team built around KD, Oladipo, and Klay. Or he could ship them off for more young guys and draft picks as he builds around the pups he has on the team already. As it pertains to this season, Port has Sabonis, Sexton and his rookies to trot out on a nightly basis. Oladipo should be back by December and for this reason I give Port the slight edge over G$.

11) Flaming Pile of shite: Last Season Record 33-125-2 (13th place)
Best Players: Trae Young, Lauri, Jayson Tatum, Herro, Bam, Zhaire, Simons, Bitadze
Off-Season Additions: Trae, Lauri, herro, Simons, Bitadze

The only players on this roster last season with any potential was Jayson Tatum and Bam Adebayo. Both of these guys struggled last season. For Tatum, he followed too much of Kobe's advice. He settled for too many jumpers and practically never tried to get to the hole. Adebayo was buried on the depth chart behind Whiteside and Olynyk. This season, both Tatum and Adebayo are expected to have bounce back/break out seasons. This franchise could have drafted Zion - perhaps the most coveted fantasy basketball rookie since Lebron James (and maybe Luka Doncic). Some may have disagreed with the decision to trade away Zion, but this franchise did get a pretty good haul in return in Lauri and Trae Young. Trae young finished the season on a tear and showed his high upside potential. If he can improve on the fg%, Trae could be a 3rd round type player as early as this season. Lauri also needs to improve on the efficiency side to reach his potential. I also love the additions in Simons and Bitazde. Simons has break out potential as early as this season as the first guard off the bench for Portland; and Bitazde is a name to watch down the road in Indy. In a very short time with new ownership this franchise has gone from having little to no hope (thanks 21Jumpstreet) to a pretty bright future.
