Many teams are currently in their window (Bucks, Celtics, Suns, Sixers, Nuggets, etc). Who are the teams that are still 2-3 years away, but will be championship juggernauts for years to come?

IF:
Sengun becomes an all-star. You can argue he already is. One of Jabari or Jalen Green develops into a borderline all-star. FVV’s 3rd year is team option and he has the biggest salary. We send him away for another all-star. DB is on 4 years, he stays a good roleplayer.
Good amount of if, and all-star Sengun + one borderline star is nowhere near the top end talent of a true contender. Teams that win titles these days pretty much always have a superstar at a top-25ish all-time level of talent, and still other actual star players around them.
I like what Houston is building, but there is a level of top end talent necessary to win it all, and barring any highly unexpected development curve I don’t see that guy there at all.
You missed another AS that we get instead of FVV.
Contending and winning are different. Sixers have been also contending for years.
