Obviously the Blazers. Kevin Pritchard's managed to pull off all these moves to build a solid young core.
The Bulls would come a close second, that is if they manage to re-sign both Gordon and Deng.

Golden State, Atlanta and Memphis are all good choices too, I'd say.

I think Bulls has it. Thomas, Gordon, Deng have all all-star potential. Just to name a few.

Of course the Blazers have it the most. Only one player is over 30, and he doesn't even fit in the rotation.

But for now, I think the Blazers have more youth potential.


Depends on whether the Bulls can keep all of those guys this offseason.

Every year it's the same on the bulls... since gordon and deng are teammates everybody is talkin that the bulls has a great young core... a lot of potential... but is still to shine

The young guys on their roster should all become at least solid players, if not stars. Devin Harris? 14/7 on 50% shooting last season, should be even better with a full year in New Jersey especially if they deal Vince Carter. Marcus Williams? Good potential too. CDR is a "baller". Then they have a good set of young forwards: I don't think any will be All-Stars but they are capable as solid starters.

The players might have potential to be solid, and that just underlines my point.

They dont have the potential to be one of the best teams, as constructed.

Let us not forget Detroit.

Cheik Samb, Jason Maxiell, Amir Johnson, Arron Afflalo, Rodney Stuckey.

23-24-20-22-21 at the end of last season. That middle one is something special I say.

Yeah the Pistons have some great traditional Detroit youngsters coming through, Dumars has an eye for talent you could also add Sharpe to that list but ive yet to see him play so i couldnt judge him.

i say Portland has the most young talents with great potential, but the most succesfull young team is Atlanta - hands down! for now Horford>Oden any day, Williams + Smith > LaMarcus + Outlaw and JJ > ROY to my midn! the fact of having Bayless could change things but i don't know yet, how good he would be here, but i hope he would be great, on the third place i'd take Miami Heat with Beast, Super Mario and Cook! then goes Nets and Bulls!
i hope beast gonna be great in miami and super mario develop his game and become starting pg, and also this season would be very interresting to watch Portland and Atlanta! both teams has all the pieces to become a dinasty team, team like detroit with 2* wallces, prince, RIP, Clutch! anyways, 2008-2009 would be AWESOME!
only god can judge me
