The overall approach was to rank teams based on the expected number of rings if things were to play out over the next 5+ years. While I attempted to rankone by one within the tiers, a lot of these are way too subjective to actually stack and the tiers should be the main focus vs. the exact numeric ranking.
Things that were considered:
1. Current roster production, age, and contracts
2. Draft capital
3. The ability to consolidate/liquidate assets for other assets of similar and/or different types
A small extra weight is given to near term team quality. Too many variables are in play to reliably predict more than a year or two down the line. While future value was not ignored, the adage that “a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow” in general applies nicely here. A few general categories seem to describe most teams:
Now & Later - These teams are setup to win yesterday, today, tomorrow, and when Jsood next owns his own first
Twilight - Window is closing soon
Dawn - Not quite ready, but could be scary soon
Purgatory - Not awful now, not great enough later. Need to commit in any direction. Probably has traded away future picks limiting ability to tank but doesn’t have firepower to get a ring as is
Oof - Not close to a ring now and path to get there isn’t clear
With that said, here are the rankings:
