30. Detroit Pistons
The hope this season was that new head coach Monty Williams could bring the Detroit Pistons back to respectability like he did when he won a Coach of the Year award with the Phoenix Suns. Unfortunately, the losing ways of 2022-23 continued this past season despite having Cade Cunningham available all year. Nevertheless, it still came as a massive surprise when the team’s owner was willing to eat a huge some of still-owed money and fired Williams in June. They replaced him with former head coa...
29. Charlotte Hornets
After a disastrous season in 2022-23, the Charlotte Hornets made no progress this past season. And similar to his brother Lonzo, LaMelo Ball has been dogged by injuries for a second straight campaign. While it was another lost season in Charlotte, the one bright spot is that first-round pick Brandon Miller started to show signs late in the season that he could evolve into a building block for the future. Nevertheless, they remained near the bottom of our NBA power rankings all season long. Al...
28. Brooklyn Nets
Despite breaking away from the drama of the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era, the Brooklyn Nets were not able to be a respectable team in 2023-24. Even though they had a pair of 20-point per-game scorers — Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas — the Nets fell back into their traditional role of losing team and it cost head coach Jacque Vaughn another job. The assumption was the Bridges were untouchable this summer. Well, that was quickly proven wrong when they shipped him off to in-city rivals the Kn...
25. Portland Trail Blazers
The first season of the post-Damian Lillard era for the Portland Trail Blazers was a disappointment as they had one of the worst records in the league despite some well-respected veterans on the roster. Head coach Chauncey Billups will be on the hot seat next season, but the one thing that could save him is further growth from Scoot Henderson, who has played well with an increased role in the final months. In the NBA Draft, they added UConn star Donovan Clingan. A defensive ace with offensive...
24. San Antonio Spurs
In his first season in the league, French phenom Victor Wembanyama completely lived up to the hype. He led the San Antonio Spurs in many key statistical categories and showed he can not only be the face of the league but that it may happen sooner than some expected. However, he needs to get help because despite his best efforts the Spurs have remained one of the worst teams in the league all season. There were various rumblings about San Antonio targeting a veteran guard to help further evolv...
23. Atlanta Hawks
Despite a bunch of trade rumors surrounding Dejounte Murray, the Atlanta Hawks stood pat with their roster for better or worse. While they reached the Play-In tournament, it was another lost season for the organization. Following the end of their campaign, various reports pointed to either Murray or Trae Young playing elsewhere next season. That decision was made quickly when Atlanta sent Murray to New Orleans for several solid role players and picks. While it looks like Young will stay and b...
10. Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns were one of the most frustrating teams in the league this past season. They had an absurd amount of scoring talent but the issues of depth and health dogged them all year. The shame about it is Kevin Durant had one of the best all-around years of his career. They should try and break up their three-headed scoring monster and improve their depth. Instead, they will hope former Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer can do what Frank Vogel couldn’t. In July, they made a nice under-the-ra...
9. Cleveland Cavaliers
Despite dealing with serious injuries to a pair of their best players, the Cleveland Cavaliers persevered and were one of the best teams in the East in 2023-24. But, they only have one superstar talent in Donovan Mitchell and it showed in being easily ousted by the eventual champion Celtics. Despite rumblings that they could trade Mitchell, all signs pointed to him returning next season. That was guaranteed recently when the All-Star guard signed a new max extension with the team. Easing fear...
8. Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks were one of the most fascinating teams to watch in 2023-24. They had a pair of elite stars and a strong roster but they had to deal with the drama of firing a first-year head coach and then replacing him with an old-school bench leader in Doc Rivers. The goal of the summer will be to further install Rivers’ system so they can hit the ground running and be a force again in the East.

Heading into the new season, the Denver Nuggets were seen by many as the best team in the NBA. However, the Boston Celtics were the top team all season and showed it when they had the best record in the league and went on to win the 2024 NBA Finals.
Considering how good they have been this year, there are many around the league who believe the Oklahoma City Thunder have the brightest future in the NBA. Stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren are not even in their prime and they have evolved into a dynamic duo. Another squad many see a huge upside in is the San Antonio Spurs due to the ...
Picking the greatest NBA team of all time is very subjective. However, if there were two popular options, it would be the Michael Jordan-led Bulls team from 1995-96 that won 73. Another top choice would be the Warriors squad from 2015-16 which also won 73 games.
While Vince Carter and Udonis Haslem were some of the longest-tenured players in league history, when it comes to competing at a high level no player in NBA history has had better longevity than Lakers star Lebron James.
