The Pelicans’ entire operation is the worst in existence in the entire NBA, and after trading away the Brow in 2019, David Griffin, who is at the helm of the team, is a faint trick to practice.
In 2020 with a future first round as the main chip, from the Thunder trade to get Adams, immediately to the contract is still one year Adams sent a two-year $ 35 million early contract extension, and then play another season, in this year’s off-season and a future first round to the Grizzlies packaged trade, this operation is really great.

In the 2019-20 season, the Timberwolves traded Wiggins to the Warriors and got Towns’ good buddy Russell, but in that season, the Timberwolves were rotting again, but they were really lucky to get another first-round pick and drafted Edwards with that first-round pick.
Then after another rotten season in 20-21, the trio of Towns + Russell + Edwards seems to have gotten some promotion, and in this season, at least from the current point of view, the Timberwolves are much better compared to the past few years, and young people like Towns are really starting to play hard and want to win games.

The Thunder team’s team building philosophy is really unique, these years is around to collect future draft picks, the next seven years or so, the Thunder hands already hold about 15 first round, if you add the second round, the number instantly break 30, the current Thunder lineup and Alexander the prospective All-Star player, Dort is also very good, this year’s selection of the first round of the No. 6 pick, No. 18 show Gidi and Trey Mann is also very good.
The city of Oklahoma is relatively too small, otherwise they can really get 1~2 giant players with so many chips, but considering the draft ability of the Thunder management, it is not possible for them to select three future MVP level players again.

The future of the Pistons are pinned on Cunningham, if Cunningham cash talent to play out, the Pistons rebuild even if a large part of the completion, and from Cunningham’s current performance, he is at least the water can not be, the future in the end can play into what, we still have to continue to see.

The current young people of the Knight is really good, the future whether it is to keep the young people together to rush the future, or appropriate change for the whole rush crown, which is very much room for maneuver, but the city of Cleveland is really too small, so their market value is difficult to rise up, unless another James.

Jazz in the last two years around Mitchell and Gobert to complement the operation are very good, the team also in the continuous improvement of Mitchell led by the league’s top team, but the Jazz’s superstar success compared to the Warriors, Bucks, Bucks and other teams or a gap, and this is exactly why they can not go further in the past two years.
