Which lottery teams (currently) has brightest future?

Out of the 10 worst teams (WSH, CLE, CHA, PHX, NO, TOR, DET, ORL, SAC)...

I'd go with either Orlando or Sacramento. Both have good pieces for the future, Orlando still needs that alpha male for the future but they have the role players to surround them, and Charlotte has guys like Kemba and MKG.

I voted Detroit. Although they dont necessarily have the future supertar that Cleveland or Washington may have, they have a very nice young core already in Monroe/Drummond/Knight.

This does hinge, however, on one of those 3 becoming a true game-changed (presumably Monroe), or else they may get caught in the spin cycle of late-lotto/first round playoff exits.

I do think theyre an attractive FA destination though, with their tradition, as well as players thinking very highly of Joe D league-wide

It's a superstar league fellas.
Kyrie Irving was posing back stage in his uniform holding the crystal MVP trophy. "Make sure you get Cleveland," he said, referrring to the "CAVALIERS" on his home white jersey.

The Thunder, because they have the pick of the raptors protected in the top 3.

Lakers by far, they have 4 future Hall of Famers on their team, and an owner willing to spend money.

They pretty much get any star player they want, any time they want, so I fully expect to see LeBron there in 2014. That alone makes their future much brighter then any of their other lottery bound contemporaries.

Orlando only just became a lottery team, so pretty hard to compare. These other teams have been in the process for years and have built up a lot of top picks. Luckily we got a solid young piece in Vucevic out of the Dwight trade.

Pelicans and Cavs both have talented young cores.

Cavs have Kyrie.

Anthony Davis or Drummond could also become stars but that is yet to be determined.

Cousins has the talent but not sold on his character. Not to mention he could be traded.
