The Next NBA Super Team?

[Great Dayne]

Boston Celtics could be that team. Danny has built one before and I wouldn't be shocked if he does it again. Their last draft pick combined with this year's first overall pick, Thomas, and potentially Gordon Hayward who might reunite with his old coach. They were the #1 team in the East this season and if they add two more potential all stars on top of that they might be a future super team.

Also, looking at the Bucks they have a true superstar in the Greek freak and two other players that could become all stars eventually plus a ton of cap space after letting go of the useless center taking up 17 mil a season.

The Twolves can become scary. However, I'm not sure that KAT can become a good enough defender to truly make him a great big man.

Who are the other Bucks that could become all-stars?

 

[flyerhawk]

The Celtics have no superstars. Gordon Hayward would be pretty close but he is also not a super star. Maybe Fulz can be one but that's a big ask.

The Celtics aren't beating the Cavs by simply adding Hayward.

They sure as shit aren't beating the Warriors.

Game Set Match

The Sixers have a chance but it is unlikely.

IF Embiid stays healthy. If Simmons is the real deal. If the Sixers pick next week turns into an All-Star then yes they could be a super team. That's a lot of ifs.

 

[logic]

The Spurs. They will make some picks and moves that aren't flashy and just play solid ball to win.

Who are the other Bucks that could become all-stars?

Parker and Middleton are both still young and improving

The same Parker that shredded his knee again?

I didn't say they will beat the cave or warriors. Fultz appears to be an all around skilled player that can play 3 positions and most likely will be starting his first year and become an all star by year 3. Hayward looked like a future superstar in the postseason and has improved every year. Combine him with Thomas and they will have 3 all stars at the 1 2and 3 and will be deeper than anyone at those positions. However their bits are just average at best. With lerbron declining I can see them competing with the cave especially igf the cave don't get help. Love appears to already be declining due yo injuries and kyrie is just a scoring pg

The same Parker that shredded his knee again?

Hr came back from the same knee injury before and proved to be a great scorer and I have no doubt the young man can continuer to improve. Now there is a question if he can remain healthy and if he can he can be an all star if not he will either become a bench player or be out of the NBA.

They to have the future best player in the NBA.

Everything is contingent on Embiid staying healthy.
The #3 pick in this draft has a pretty good chance of being a key player.
Simmons will be fine.
Throw in the 2018 LAL pick and 2019 SAC pick as gravy.

None of that matters, though, if Embiid is chronically injured.

Embiid staying healthy is critical. But to be a truly dominant team they need a couple more all-stars.

They don't have any yet (although Embiid will get there if healthy).

 

[Sparhawk]

Absolutely.
I have little doubt that Simmons will be one.

Ball would give them a huge offensive upgrade.
JJ gives them a potential defensive juggernaut with Embiid/Simmons/Covington/JJ.
I honestly don't know which player would be the better fit.

No one else does either. Which is why there are so many different players the Sixers are predicted to take.
