Top Three for me are:
Honourable Mentions
Washington Wizards: Not great and haven’t been for years, but have a championship and have made playoffs consistently.
Los Angeles Clippers: The smaller team in their city, with historically bad management and ownership. However, in the last ten years have made the playoffs almost every year and are opening a new arena soon. Previously would have been the obvious first choice.
#3: Minnesota Timberwolves
Would’ve been higher 5 years ago. Have Rudy, KAT, Ant, Naz Reid etc., although they do not have much history of success after the KG years, they have a very good future. This is a historical one.
#2: Charlotte Hornets
These guys have never made the conference finals, and haven’t won a playoff series since 2004, have never made the conference finals, but with Lamelo and other young stars, they have a good future.
#1: New Orleans Pelicans
Have never managed to make it past the second round of the playoffs. Somehow lost Chris Paul, Anthony Davis and will probably lose Zion soon. Stuck in a spot where they can’t get good lottery picks but aren’t contenders either. Smallest value with the least fans in the NBA. Somehow can’t do anything even when they have two all stars on their team. The epitome of a poverty franchise, with wasted first picks, bad management and bad location.

Celtics are poverty franchise. Won a bunch of rings against farmers and think they’re better than everyone
You missed Chicago
The Wizards. What the fuck do they even think they’re doing?
Define poverty franchise? Over what period on top of that
Knicks or Celtics for being among the largest markets but whose legacies are entirely built on stone age basketball while the real premier franchise of the NBA wins championships in every decade

Everytime someone posts about the Pelicans being a poverty franchise they’re likelyhood of getting better just goes up and up.

The Knicks.
It would have EASILY been the Clippers until big dick Ballmer bought the team and started just raining racks
The Clippers
