5 Teams That Completely Wasted The Offseason

Five NBA teams wasted the entire 2026 offseason - and the team everyone is blaming doesn't actually belong on the list. Training camp opens in 24 days and these five rosters are already locked. In this video I break down what it actually means to waste an offseason: not losing a superstar, but having real options and finishing worse than you started. The Kings paid to subtract a six-time All-Star. The Pelicans went 26-56 and ran it back. The Clippers still don't know who's on their roster. The Bucks turned Giannis into a pile of lottery tickets and then stopped. And the Warriors swung at both Giannis and LeBron, missed on both, and had no plan B. I also explain why Portland and the Lakers don't belong on this list - and why the Boston Celtics, the team everybody has at number one, made the one move here that actually had a direction behind it. _____________________________________ Footage in this video is owned by the NBA and its partners.
