Minnesota and the Bucks are the obvious choices with the talent that they have on hand. It's all there for them to dominate in the future they just need to find other pieces that fit and both teams need point guard upgrades. On the low though Detroit is scary too with their core because everyone of them are still getting better and haven't reached their peak and Drummond had franchise big man written all over him. (And no he's not quite there yet.) The Jazz have a nice nucleus too just another player or two away.

some of these answers are retarded

again, factor in who the coach is. Talent ain't gonna be shyt if it ain't coached right.

The nba is about top tier talent. The coach isn't a huge deal

If you have a generational talent i.e. Bron or curry you're gonna win titles regardless who the coach is

I'm gonna say Minnesota simply because of Towns. It's Tim Duncan all over again with that kid. Generally, they're terribly run, but if they get a halfway decent coach in there, they should be in the hunt for a decade straight at some point.

I'd put Milwaukee at two because those three guys could be an ungodly fit together if Jabari develops his three point shot.

I have Detroit third because their top individual talent isn't as high as Minnesota or Milwaukee's, but Stan's obviously doing an impeccable job acquiring talent and all their pieces fit. There's no doubt they'll be good for many years.

If LA gets Ingram, a 1-4 of Clarkson, Russell, Ingram and Nance would be really versatile.

Orlando really needs a PG who can shoot (you forgot Fournier on their list @Malta ). If they find out, they could trot out a small ball lineup of PG, Oladipo, Fournier, Hezonja and Gordon. I think they should trade Vucci because of how terrible he is defensively.

The biggest free agents this summer should be Thibs and Walton. :ld:

It's a tie between milwaukee and detroit. If I had to make a choice it would be detroit for a few reasons

Van Gundy is loyal to his team and likes to hold onto and mold them as he sees fit. On the other hand, kidd is cutthroat as it gets. The potentential is there in milwaukee but I see kidd trading monroe and either parker/ middleton for more assets.

OP why is Miami's young core not on your list?

I think Giannis is a game changing talent. Anyone who watches the Bucks play and has kept an eye on Giannis has seen that superstar potential.

Physical gifts, motor, rate of improvement, natural basketball instincts on both ends, good vision, etc.

Dude has that Lebron-esque quality of perimeter player who has a big man impact because of his surprising mixture of strength, length, and post play.
