[@peace_of_mind_00]

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.

[@eltoro_ttv]

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

[@peace_of_mind_00]

@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.

[@YodaSmokes]

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.

[@ant4613]

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.

[@peace_of_mind_00]

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

"The buzz in NBA circles suggests.." We have several podcasts from current and former players alike that have been caught lying and making shit up on numerous occasions I do not give a fuck what they are suggesting lol

[@Bokkenseur]

your take on the Cavs is just classic casual. They have positive assets like Mobley, Allen and Garland, 2 of which were all-stars not long ago and one is a top 5 defensive big still on his rookie deal. They have neutral contracts like Strus, Niang and LeVert. Mitchell is probably re-signing and even if he isn't he'll bring back at least 2 FRP and a young player as an expiring deal. The starters are all below 30 and so are the top 3 bench players. How on earth is that top 5 bleak future? Clippers, Suns, Nets, Hawks, Detroit, Chicago, Raptors, Wizards are far far far worse positioned than the Cavs for immediate and future success as they have limited picks, limited young talent and very few valuable contracts. Just such a shit take I can't even discuss it any longer

[@JS9864..]

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

[@mrsikes410]

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

[@Bokkenseur]

@@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.

[@Bokkenseur]

​@@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.

To say the cavs have one of the bleakest futures is a really dumb take. There are no creditable signs DM is leaving beyond rumors from rival execs, even if he does then this team can go back to rebuilding focusing on DG and Mobley. The reason why Dg is not doing so hot is he broke his jaw and is playing with Spida. Spida takes development from DG. Mobley can be a top big in the league and just needs a few steps.

Mitchell is a dynamic scorer, not a type A player on a championship squad. The Cavaliers have Mobley, Garland, Allen, and Okaro.

They'd rather cover the drama in Phoenix, LA(both franchises) or Miami than talk about what Paulo and Franz are turning into.

Just because the Washington Wizards have good picks doesnt mean they are better. Recently they did draft some players but Johnny davis is the biggest disappointement for the team they passed on Jalen Willams who was 2 spots behind of davis. He would have become a superstar for the team to replace beal. The wizards have the reputation of drafting bust after bust. Jan Veselý, OPJ, Troy Brown jr and they even passed on alperen sengun taking kispert over him. they also missed the opportunity to draft Jalen Brunson over Troy Brown jr.

[@Deebo2288]

The Bulls don’t have a bleaker future then the Clippers and Suns

[@rome8180]

I don't agree that the Cavs' future is that bleak. They'll have an opportunity to trade Mitchell if he doesn't resign. They also have several other talented players who would have high trade value. If Mitchell left, I think they would simply build around Garland and Mobley. They'd use the picks they get from the Mitchell and Allen trades to augment the team. Garland and Mobley both seem to function better when there's not a player who overlaps with them on the court anyway.

[@yapyap3]

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.

[@dominic64tblightning24]

Cleveland is not bleak. I'd say Chicago, the Suns, washed Golden State, and maybe the LA teams unless they can figure it out this off-season. Wizards are pretty rough too and Brooklyn.

[@MikeyMike0330]

What happened to DG? They took the ball out of his hands. Before the Dmitch trade he was the primary ball handler and was flourishing.

[@johndavis9321]

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

[@AvrilAlvarez]

The Cavs are one of the most impatient teams ever. They fire coaches like crazy, it didn't start with JB and it won't end with him. Mike Brown and Tyron Lue got unfairly fired. And by far the craziest one, David Blatt got fired after just one season where the Cavs made the finals. Like yeah they had LeBron, Kyrie and Kevin Love, but it's still impressive the team went from worst in the NBA to nba finals in one season.

Might be the stupidest video Andy made. Garland literally broke his jaw and still averaged 20ppg

[@razkable]

The teams i see with bleak futures are wizards nets bulls hornets and blazers...pistons have talent..jazz have assets...raptors have barnes...hawks have picks

[@leoprince691]

You neglected to mention that the Hawks have the #1 pick in the draft. That might make Trae Young expendable in the front office's eyes. Personally, I would keep him and make it work with whoever they pick first and get rid of Murray. I think the Hawks have a good enough future just for that #1 pick if it works out and honestly they peaked in 2021, anyway. Also, I don't think Mitchell will leave Cleveland. He hasn't shown actual desire to leave and everything floating around him are just rumors. He might still leave, but I think he wants to make it work in Cleveland for at least one more year. Honestly, the Suns should have been on this list.

[@jerrychan186]

Everybody was hyped on the Mitchell trade to the cavs not “okay i guess”

[@depekthegreat359]

This is sad to hear but I hope they would bounce back soon with their good signings and future draft picks,good friends!!!🙏

[@Blankframe12]

Donovan Mitch signed a contract extension with the cavs

[@mauriciohiure2192]

it's actually heartbreaking to see the Nets in such a grim state after sacrificing everything for KD, Kyrie and Harden, they were so close to win the championship too, just needed to keep themselves healthy

[@dierise6875]

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.

[@syahrahmana.g.6368]

Andy hates towards Hawks is absolutely unhinged

[@lizzosbelly]

These Darius Garland narrative have to stop, don’t even give your opinion if you don’t know the full story. That guy battled a broken jaw, lost 12 pounds, had a neck and ankle injury while dealing with the loss of one of his close relatives. Played great the season before Mitchell and played great his first season with Mitchell

[@gscollect]

Andy it’s kind of funny, maybe mid way through the season the cavs traded for Mitchell you made a video about how the cavs have a bright future and reading for Donovan was a good move. Now that same team is on your bleakest futures video. You change like the seasons.

[@rileymcphee9429]

I think there's a world where Blazers trade with the Hawks this draft. Blazers get: Dejounte Murray, 2024 #1 pick Hawks get: Anfernee Simons, Robert Williams III, 2024 #14 pick, 2024 #40 pick

[@Cory-zn5mq]

I disagree with the cavs take they improved every season since getting him

[@mohkamaltaha]

I would add the bucks to that list next summer, they have one chance and one chance only to win it all next season, otherwise they're fucked...!!!

[@ant4613]

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.

[@nolimitdeuce]

Great Engrish video title! LoL! Try "bleakest", you scholar. Good shit.

[@inimitableminimalist]

the cavs will be fine. the grizzlies, on the other hand, owe over 400 million to ja morant and desmond bane. is bane even a top 50 nba player? bane makes 5 million a year more than sga does, let that sink in. will ja ever get his act together? even if he does, I think they're gonna be at the top of this list in a couple years.

[@VincentVincent_89]

The suns have the worst future I've ever seen lol. They can't lose games internally cuz none of their picks are theirs for years, they aren't good enough to win a chip since they lack depth and defense and they can't blow it up due to Bradley having a no trade clause and no one wanting him for his shitty contract, kd is 35+ and slowing down and booker is still booker but probably not gonna stick around due to the issues I just stated.

[@enricomiguelrequilman6000]

If you think the Suns have the worst future, think about the Nets. They are in basketball purgatory, cannot compete for a playoff spot/championship due to the lack of talent/stars; and they cannot tank because their picks from 2024-2027 are in the control of the Houston Rockets. The 3rd pick by Houston in this years draft is from Brooklyn lol, that Harden trade killed them

[@notesyy4702]

You spur lots of negativity. A little is ok but now reveals you are what kind of person…

[@LwandleDlamini_]

To be fair to him in the cavs case it's not that bad but the rest I mean come on its quite bleak

[@rigbythekhajiit]

Has Evan Mobley made any tangible improvements in 3 years, or is he largely still the same player as when he was drafted?

[@Db0330]

To make this type of video and not include my suns is definitely crazy. WE ARE SO COOKED🔥🔥🔥😤

[@zacharylopez8506]

Surprised my raptors aren't on here. Our furure is beyond bleak

[@mike_oxhurt154]

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

[@zacharylopez8506]

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

[@zacharylopez8506]

@@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

[@chad_b]

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

How could you NOT mention the raptors and heat? The heats core has essentially peaked and with rumours of Jimmy leaving, they’re royally screwed. And the raptors didn’t even get their lottery pick this year and their new team isn’t even close to being competitive

[@tj-23]

Because the Heat have one of the best front offices and young cores in the league.. lmao are you high?

[@maartenvz]

How do the cavs have a worse future than the clippers, lakers, suns and warriors. They still have mitchell, you act as if they will get nothing back if they trade him. Also, they have jarret allen under a great contract and fantastic role players in mobley, okoro and dean wade. The big xfactor is what will happen to garland. The lakers, clippers and suns meanwhile have no young pieces, hardly any draft picks and had no chance in the first round while golden state didnt even make the playoffs and has a lot of dead weigth on their roster.

[@christiankarlkarganilla2763]

For real, the Bulls are a top 10 NBA franchise solely because of the MJ era. Had it not happened, the Bulls are arguably the worst franchise in NBA history (excluding the Clippers lol)
