Nick Whalen is joined by Alex Barutha for a special exercise in forecasting. The guys go back and forth drafting the 12 teams (six each) they believe have the best shot to win at least one NBA title over the next five years (so, from now through the 2025-26 season).

For each pick, Nick and Alex make the case for why the team can win a title, as well as discuss what could prevent it from getting the job done. After running through a few honorable mentions, the guys finish out by debating the teams least likely to win in the next five years.
