Can we find some examples, were teams went from lottery bound to playoffs in 2 years with a full scale youth movement taking place?
The 2018-19 will be at least third season for all the folks currently on the roster, and we were told that this is THE draft so the second season should be good enough for folks from this draft to contribute.
Combining this year where almost all teams were in the playoff run at the all star break (Lakers and Suns being exception), I do not see bar being set too high.
T-Pups fit my criteria. We will be in the same stage at all star 2018-19 as T-pups were at the beginning of this season time wise after trading their "star" player.
Except that their star player is not in the same universe as our former star player, but that is another story who got what for whom.
