Lets see
The Wizards have $190m tied to a player they actually play better without
The Magic have a scary GM who gave a combined $250m to Miles Plumlee, Greg Monroe, Matthew Dellavedova, John Henson and Tony Snell. Bonus points if you can even remember where all these guys play today

It's between them two for me.

orlando. they are in the worst situation for years. they dont make the playoffs nor bottom down to grab a franchise changing player. they really need to get rid of vucevic-fournier-ross and even gordon.

I'd go Detroit 1a and Orlando 1b. Detroit a little bit more bleak due to the Griffin contract. Will be interesting to see what they do with Drummond after 2019-20.

The Bucks handed out those contracts, not the Magic.

Indeed but the scary part is Orlando hired him despite that.

Gotcha. Yeah that's not a good look.
The Hawks are the only team in the southeast division with a promising future.

Probably us but NBA futures tend to change so much within a year so it’s not the end of the world. Hopefully we keep sucking cause we’re at the 7th pick now.

I went with the Cavs. They have nothing interesting in their current roster. Maybe Sexton could roll nicer in a better team and that's all. Only interesting about them is their pick next year, which of course can change it all.

Wizards need to purge their front office, coaching staff and entire roster. Utterly deplorable.

Gonna go with my Bulls here. The team is God awful, and not a single one of our top prospects looks like a future star. Plus our awful GM has a job for life

"Other"
And Atlanta would be on the list if Trae Young was putting up good stats on a losing team too if he was in his 4th season in the league.

Memphis deserves to be listed. 2 aging star players on a veteran laden team and they’re busy trading draft picks in an attempt to make this year’s playoffs. Jackson looks like a keeper though.
Cleveland is in for a very long rebuild right now. A roster full of bad contracts and I don’t think Claxton is going to be more than a career backup.

Grizzlies have the bleakest immediate future. In 18-19, the Grizz will likely 1) miss the playoffs; 2) have no draft pick in 2019; and 3) watch their (second) best player opt out and sign elsewhere.

I think rosters and payrolls are fluid, the main thing that matters long term is the people that actually run the team.
A couple of years ago when the Bucks owed all that money to those scrubs and the coach was Kidd and the GM was Hammond I honestly thought that Giannis might never play for a good team. And look at us now.

Wiz or pistons. Big payrolls and just enough talent to keep them from being top 5 bad but not even talent to have a higher ceiling then first round playoff loss.
