Franchise Rankings

Rather than doing another GM rankings, I decided to look at the history of each franchise to determine how successful they've been this iteration. Success is somewhat subjective as breaking the turnover record or memeing Delonte West for an entire career aren't championship level accomplishments to everyone. However, I tried to come up with a generalized formula that obviously emphasized winning at all costs.

Regular season wins, playoff wins, and trips to the playoffs made up the majority of the score, with massive bonuses given for winning titles and smaller bonuses for Finals trips that did not result in a title. Forgive the ugly BSL table but below are the results.

What jumps out? Who is higher or lower than you'd imagine they would be? Does the top-10 align with your own thinking on which teams have been the most successful?

My thoughts

nuggets and grizz have greatly benefitted from the west being weak,neither should be too 10

wolves and suns have taken advantage of the west being weak, and their scores reflect that

Cavs feel really low given their incredible success under JB and recent playoff appearances with CLB. Lack of playoff success / rings really hurt them the most

hawks - bulls - nets should be higher, but competitive east has hurt them some.

Celtics have a really terrific score despite tanking probably the most of the teams in the top 5. Gb one of the best at flipping the switch on and off

Bullets - heat - wolves - Nuggs - magic show that it pays to just try and win instead of tanking out and waiting for the next star prospect

Yeah I’m shocked that you’d see it the wrong way. The east top 6 teams are mostly as good as the top 2 west teams (70% of the time)
