Eric called my teams future bleek yet everyone is in the early to mid 20s.

It is because while they are youngish he believes that they have reached what they will become, while they will still be good to great players in the next 3 years they won't become better in that time span.

[20s Navidad]

Or even if they get better, he doesn't think your team is good enough to have success

[2poor]

I accept Eric's critique of my team

[Bankz]

THanks

In three years, a Dragic / whoever / Parker / Davis / Dieng lineup could beat anybody... or the last three could have already peaked, there's no way of knowing. I'm confident they'll come up enough to make it look good by year 3. Not to single you out, but compare to your team. McDermott will be out of the league by year 3, the only other guys who are before their primes are MKG and Adams, not really comparable to Jabari / AD. You got dark horse too because your known quantities (i.e. Curry) are better than the Heat's, you're really opposite sides of the coin. I wouldn't be surprised if Davis won two of the next three MVPs or if he won zero. I would be surprised if Curry didn't win at least one. 

If you think McDermott  will be out of the league by year 3 you're more asinine  and retarded than we all thought.  And your logic makes 0 sense. My team is on the other "side" as you put it.  Yet you have a 33 year old Dragic as a key component. Eek

...thanks everyone but Trofie :) Dragic isn't a key component, at that point in his career his job would be to pass to AD and spot up for 3. Jason Kidd managed that at 37, and he had way more mileage on him compared to Dragic. The future nucleus is AD/Parker/Dieng. If they all hit their ceilings they're the favorites... but there's no way to know if they will or not, so they're only a dark horse.

Your crunch time lineup goes 28, 26, 29, 30, 27. None of those players are getting better.

Sure! A lot of the adjacent rankings are really close, but I think it would go like this:

year 1
1. pete
2. ankly
3. 2poor
4. fason
5. trofie
6. dump
7. duc
8. 20s
9. canes
10. dil
11. bankz
12. druce
13. mj
14. odin

year 3
1. ankly
2. pete
3. druce
4. trofie
5. canes
6. 2poor
7. fason
8. duc
9. dump
10. dil
11. mj
12. 20s
13. bankz
14. odin

Looking at it this way I think I overrated the dumps by calling them dark horses, sorry sensei (Ret.). I think I would go 2poor for third dark horse, I believe in known (Wall, Ibaka) over unknown (Wiggins). I should have connected this the first time but Giannis will probably be a good fit for the JJ spot in year 3, so I really underrated the 2poors' future. I keep wanting to put future canes lower but I keep coming back to Anthony Davis being super-elite offensively and average (at worst) defensively, which no other player can say because we don't allow LeBron. Curry will still be an awful defender, Harden and Durant will still be below average, Kawhi still won't be voluminous enough offensively, Paul will be too old by year 3 to maintain his historic offensive numbers, nobody new is going to establish themselves by then. Having the best player in the game and a couple other pieces should give you a puncher's chance, that's how I see it.
