Your team every day.

One more thing.

The Dallas Mavericks do not have the 22nd best future in the NBA.

Welcome, you're still locked on to the Dallas Mavericks.

Your team every day, my name is Nick Angsett.

I'm joined by the one more thinking Isaac Harris himself.

And we're going to talk about Bleacher reports latest ranking of the teams with the best.

Next three years.

The next three year run for these these teams, which team has the best on the vast team at 22.

We'll go through the rankings a little bit later.

We'll talk about why the teams in the top five are in the top five and all that kind of stuff.

We'll break it all down and do all that.

Well, let's start here.

The Mavericks team at at 22.

It's counting next season and it's the next three years.

So it's it's who has the best future among that group.

I can believe that they have a better next three years than the Kings, the Pelicans, the net, the sons, the box, the Grizzlies, the bulls and the clippers.

Those are the teams they're ahead of in this.

I think that's all fair.

I don't think I can make a single case for any of those teams to have a better next three years in the Mavericks, right?

No, I'm just shocked that there are one one place above the clippers.

I'm like, what?

Who who is voting for the next three years of the clippers right now?

I would even put like the bulls and Grizzlies over the next three years of the clippers, right?

I mean, even the sons, the sons were like a pretty good team last year.

And are young.

It's not like the sons have this super old team where the opposite of they're going to start losing a bunch.

I mean, the clippers, Ingram and Derrick Garland, I just not inspired by that team at all.

Grady tick.

I mean sometimes I'm smart.

It's the teams that are ahead of the Mavericks for the next three years.

So the maps come at 22, 21s, the Golden State Warriors.

There is absolutely no world.

The the Warriors are better than the Mavericks for each of the next three years.

You seen L.J. Cryer though.

I have seen Al Horford's age.

Have you seen Dremont Green's age?

Steph Curry's age.

Yeah, excellent.

A Borg's age.

What what about Dremont's quote the other day about clay?

Everybody needs to calm down that my the people are acting like my name is getting.

Like okay.

Brother.

Like anyway.

Yeah, the next three years like the boy like if we're doing future power rankings, why would you take the Warriors over?

I think we're severely we're severely overriding the draft picks.

And the fact that Dallas doesn't own a draft pick for next year in 2027.

They own a pick for the next draft.

It's just a pick swap and it's going to be at the in the draft basically.

But it's not like they don't have a pick at all.

So it's just like you're telling me Cooper flag.

And then even like you take Cooper flag at one.

But then you had some of the young guys too like res and Sergio and Risha Shae.

Like I get that they're a little bit like more of an unknowns for some people.

But Cooper flag alone should have you over the Warriors because Steph.

Yeah, I mean, three years from now, hold Steph going to beat right now.

Steph Curry is better than Cooper flag hands down can't can argue it.

Yes.

In the next three years, their star level intersect and Cooper flag will overtake.

Steph Curry has the better player for sure.

Cooper will be in year four.

So you think that will be in year 44.

So you think whatever's going to happen between that time and now is worth, you know, not having Cooper flag then.

I just think that that's and it's not like the and it's not even about Steph really.

It's about the rest of the team.

Jimmy Butler's out.

Maybe he comes back neck.

And maybe he knows like year after next.

And it's worth 30 steps 38.

Yes.

So we're talking about 41 by the time that this this three year run is done.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, they should be over the Warriors.

For sure.

The next team above them is the wizards at 20.

That one.

I have a hard time middle time.

I was gonna say how would I have a hard time with over the next couple of years because I think the masters would be better than the Wizards probably, but they do have three young.

And there is a case there's like a some outside chance that that, you know, to bon say is better than Cooper flag.

And then you're just like, okay, well, and then we'll see what happens there.

But the wizards, I think some people will be upset about the wizards thing.

I don't know what's going to happen with the Anthony Davis thing.

They do have a lot of a ton of young players, but we don't know the any of those young players are going to be any good.

Yeah.

Like this one at least makes a little bit more sense than the Golden State one.

Just because they do have like saw her had a good year.

Kishan George, you know, had a good year.

Will Riley came on late.

I think debaunts is going to be really dang good.

Like they have some good young pieces.

Trace should be like a table setting type of guy AD won't be on this team and, you know, a year and a half probably.

But or a year from now, a year and a half.

I mean, six months less than that.

So I can at least like hear it of saying, all right, let's just say if they're like AJ Cooper next three years.

And then all right, look at the supporting cast for both sides.

Yeah, because even like you look at Kairi, I mean, three years from now, if he stays with Dallas, you know, he's still going to be he's going to be in his late 30s then.

So, um,

Dow and to at least understand it a little bit more.

But I would still pick Dallas over them.

Yeah, I think I think I would too.

The one above them, I don't get it all.

The Portland Trailblazers ahead of the Mavericks and ahead of the Wizards, honestly, the Wizards should be upset about this too.

I just don't know what the Blazers are doing over the next three years that'll be markedly better than having the maps with Cooper flag the Wizards with with AJ DeBonza.

Maybe they just don't hit their peaks yet, but they even be in Portland.

We don't know.

Dundin will tell like Danny obvious is fine.

But I don't think I don't think he has this huge ceiling that he hasn't hit yet.

I think he's kind of jumped up to the spot where he's like, oh, he's an all-star.

He's more than fine.

He's a really good player.

I mean, he's top what top 30?

Yeah, but I think with that, I think it's great.

Really, we could do this all with like, yeah, every NBA player is way better than the average person at basketball.

But it's more about the supporting cast for me of like, I know you're not a fan of sharp.

So it's like, outside of that, it's like, you have Camara, I mean, in three years, where's Joe going to be?

Drew Holiday in three years is going to be 39.

Dame's going to be 39.

Like, you're not really like factoring those two guys in in three years.

So it's like, playing and factoring what young Hanson's going to be.

He's been kind of balling out.

I mean, he's only 21.

This team is just kind of a mess, which I guess you can say that Maverick's are two.

But I think they are, they're rosters more of a mess now than it was even last year.

Where you got job, you've got Dame, you're going to try to figure that out.

You got to figure out what scoot is.

I just don't know.

I don't think that they're going to figure it out over the next three years.

And all of a sudden, they're going to emerge this insanely great team.

This is how I'm looking at it over the next three years, who is going to finish with a better record each year?

And it's like Dallas or Portland.

And I'm just going to pick Dallas.

Like, I think Dallas will have the better record to all of the next three years, at least.

Yeah.

I would say that.

And if you think that, then they should be above Dallas.

I think this Portland thing is going to blow up next year.

I just can't see a world where jaw and and Denny like coexist really well.

Just put so much pressure on the rim.

They're going to be like the they're going to be like the Pelicans north to me.

This Portland team is going to be like a county, a county fair.

Like you go to the county fair and it's just, I mean, you got some rides that's breaking down.

You have some rides that you're going to get on and you're like,

I don't know if this one's even going to stay together while I'm on it, but it's going to be crazy.

And then you have like the demolition Derby over here.

Yes.

And then you have, and it's just chaos.

And it, but it's like not fun.

And so or it's like fun and weird way.

It is fun.

There are some times it is fun.

Sometimes it's working well.

And then sometimes you're like, yes, funnel cake tastes like it has metal in it.

Or it's like, or that's like the only good thing.

It's like, dude, we came where we got the funnel cake.

Like this is, this is super sweet.

But it's not sustainable.

And there's a reason why the county fair comes along for like one week out of the whole year.

Yeah.

And then just books it.

And then they're out.

And you ever feel like you're driven you've driven by on one eighty three.

The Irving Mall will have that weird carnival outside of it every once in a while.

Yeah, I don't it's more than once a year.

It feels like it's more than once a year for sure.

Because I've only lived out here over a year.

And I've seen it three times.

So I know what the rounds are for this.

But every time I drive by it, I do think about that one tick tock video I saw one time

where a bunch of people had to come save this carnival ride that was like,

like almost falling over.

It was like almost tipping over.

And a ton of people had to come over and like pull it down and try to like get it to stabilize.

Yes.

That's that's Portland next.

I just think it's the job is experience.

I'm just not a believer in it.

And I think it's going to just mess up everything else.

And then the damn thing will make it even will make it weird too.

They're that back or defense going to be awful.

Like between them and the Kings who has a better back court defense.

Hey couple of men or or job, Marant and Lillard.

They can at least throw a drew in there.

Yeah, but they're not going to start them.

Are we sure Drew is not going to be the three?

It does I'm saying back court.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Are we sure job starting?

Yes.

Come.

He's the star.

It's a stock.

They should be above Portland.

And coming up after this, they should be they should be above few of these other teams too.

Absolutely.

I have a Gender.

All right, I think we're talking about the Dallas Mavericks ranking in the

bleach report rankings of the next three years, the next immediate future of these teams.

Kings came in at 30 Pelicans of 29, Nets 28,

sons of 27, bucks of 26, Memphis of 25, Chicago 24,

Clippers of 23, Mavs at 22.

And that's where we got a little confused because the warriors,

the wizards and the blazers of the next three teams ahead of them.

And I think the Mavericks should be better than all those teams over the next three years.

Yeah, I'll take, I'll take Dallas over them.

I kind of understand the Wizards one just a little bit because of their young core and

debaunts.

Thanks, Ray.

I got off the tray in there for sure.

It's like a medium and tray in his hair.

Um, call them.

The magic came in at 18 and I get that one.

Like I think I would probably, we're talking three years.

We're not talking, you know, five to 10 years.

We're talking just three years.

Franz, Palo, those, you know, Desmond Bay, Swainy, Anthony Black,

Sugs like they're, I get saying, hey, they're going to be a better team over the next three years.

The one above that though, at 17, they have the Hornets.

Yeah.

And to say that, hey, over the next three years, you would rather have the Hornets

and there is a what five or six spot difference in power rankings that much more than the

Maverick's over the next three years.

You're putting a lot of faith in those draft picks that they have.

And I just, I know it sounds like really biased, but just give me Cooper flag and some of

these young guys and yeah, in the front office and stuff of Dallas right now, give me the

Dallas situation over the next three years.

Yes.

For sure.

I would do that.

Brandon Miller is injury prone.

And I think Brandon Miller is going to have a really good year, but he's not even medically

clear to be in the weight room yet.

I'm talking.

Wow.

And he misses a bunch of time.

And so I don't, I think that they're going to miss Limelaball a lot.

I think that we talked about this the other day when we did the overunders that I think

this team is going to take a step back to take a step forward.

And I think they'll take a step back this year.

I don't think they'll be as good with the team that they have.

They're super deep though.

They do have a ton of players, but who has like elite all star upsides?

Brandon, Brandon Miller, Khan, maybe in like a clay way.

But what's, what's the deep part though?

Because are they going to play Grant Williams over?

Stompot?

Like, are they going to play?

Yes.

And I know.

So it's like, are they going to play Dennis Schroeder over Christian Anderson?

I could just name a bunch of NBA players on their team.

They'll be Kobe White, Nazareth, Grace, now on Brandon Miller, Dennis Schroeder.

They had a Grant Williams Roy, so Neil, Con, Caniple, you know, they drafted Steinbach,

Christian Anderson, they've got Liam McNeely, Musadilla Bate, Colc Brenner, Cian James,

played a lot for them.

Like, they do have a bunch of NBA players like that.

I know, but it feels like they have, I mean, if we're going to talk about timelines, it

feels like they have a bunch of these young guys, but then they have a bunch of, like,

there's one thing to play, you know, like a good, really good veteran over a young guy

and when you're like going for it.

But it feels like this team isn't going for it because they're, and they have to see

young guys, but then they also have the Dennis Schroeder Grant Williams, you know, Roy,

so Neil, Grace, and Alan, Nazareth, Re, Kobe, White crew.

And it's like, that's a seven man rotation itself, but it's all these like, I don't know,

it's a weird, I just, give me Cooper Fag.

Cooper's better than anybody on this team.

Why a lot?

I mean, I think Brandon Miller's good and obviously Con's good, but give me, give me Cooper

Fag.

Yeah.

That the Hornets was the, I think maybe the Hornets was the last one I thought was

egregious.

Hawks is kind of weird.

Hawks.

Well, Miami was above that.

You get that.

I got you honest.

You honest, Bam.

Clay.

Um, do you buy the jazz one?

The jazz are at 13.

That's high.

Yeah.

That was the one I was looking at.

I mean, I was the jazz would be better for the next three years than the heat will.

For the Raptors, slightly damn near pick the Raptors to win the finals.

Yeah, dude, he, I think he was like born in Jurassic Park.

Um, not a lot anymore.

Yeah, the jazz at 13.

I mean, I get it.

I guess.

I don't, got Peter, you got Peter said, and you bring in Jared Jackson, you got Larry

Markets like all like, though they got some win now players plus some really young town.

They'd be really good, but over the next three years.

I mean, is it bad that I'm like really eyeing the nuggets at 11?

Just first just for having Yokech like what what does the nuggets look like in three years?

From all my eight.

Does he stay at that level that Yokech does he stay?

He's only got one more year left.

He could be horse racing in three years.

Aaron Gordon has him in healthy in three years.

I just like they think they're over the Timberwolves is kind of interesting to me too.

I guess Rudy would be I mean, three years Rudy from like for now.

37, but Baron J will be stepping in, hopefully.

Yeah, having the Lakers over over Minnesota is pretty well because Anthony Edwards, McDaniels

and Lamello and I owe.

Yeah, like they're all like fairly young.

So I just think that Lucas team is worse than I mean, you're going, we're going back to.

Okay, so will you for sure to have the Raptor situation over the next three years than dialysis?

Are they getting Kauai?

Yes, sure.

Then yes, if not, then no, I mean, even Kauai.

Okay.

How do the maps like the top 15?

What would they have to do?

What would they have to prove this year to prove that they're okay, but look at this way though.

Let's say they get Kauai and then you got Scotty Barnes and Kauai, you get Cooper and Kyrie.

So then who has the best, who has the better supporting guests then?

So you're like an RG Barrett quickly, portal compared to like Najee.

Did they have Dick?

No, he went.

There's Dick and LA.

I could just hear the argument though.

Like I could hear the argument of like picking the dial situation or Toronto and that

Atlanta wants the one I think about.

I because I like Jalen Johnson a lot.

There's some young guys on the team like Fleming's.

We like Fleming's.

Yeah, I thought they had a great, they had a great draft and stuff too.

Interesting.

But what would they need to be to jump into top 15?

I definitely think they do this list again after this, after this season, they're going to be higher.

And I think they're going to be a decent amount higher because I think Cooper fly is going to take that, that leap again.

And I think it's going to be an all of a sudden.

Well, I think I think majority of people will view him as a top 30.

I think he's going to be a top 30 player already.

But I think after this year, he'll be a consensus like, Oh crap, he's a top 30 player or top 25 player.

However, you want to say it.

And then what would, how would they jump even further or jump make that big jump?

You need like res, Sergio, Risha, you need like a couple of those guys to show that,

Oh, okay.

Like they have some, because I think when you look at some of these other teams ahead of Dallas in this,

you're looking at, you know, it's the young guy and then there's pieces, right?

Like you look at Charlotte and it's like, all right, cool.

They have con.

But then they have some other young guys that you saw your name and off some of these guys and they have a brand of Miller,

who they give you a lot of money to or you look at the wizards and it's like, okay, well, it's not just a bonsa.

They have an Alex Sarr and a Will Riley and a Keeshaan George and a Kula Bolly.

Like, yeah, if you can like name those guys with Dallas of, okay, they have more as Johnson,

they have Sergio Delare, they have Zachary, Risha, Shalei and you're kind of viewing them and that Keeshaan George rising,

like young guy range, then they're going to be higher than that.

And that's where a lot of these young guys on this Mavericks team, they have a lot to prove this year.

That's true.

That's the rankings next three years.

We'll see if the Mavericks can outperform that this season.

I think there's a lot of ways that they can do that.

We'll have our survey for the fan survey.

So it goes do that.

If you haven't done it yet, there's a link in the description for that and all that kind of stuff.
