Proof of Life: The Non-Playoff Teams That Could Break Through Next Year
About this episode
The episode discusses non-playoff NBA teams that have the potential to break into the playoffs next year.
Not every non-playoff team is truly rebuilding — some are simply waiting for the right moment to break through. In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we introduce “Proof of Life,” a deep-dive exercise where we identify one team from the Eastern Conference and one from the Western Conference that could rise from outside the playoff picture and reach the postseason next year. We examine teams like the Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, and Utah Jazz — evaluating roster talent, player development, front office direction, and the key factors that could spark a turnaround. Which struggling teams are closer to contention than people realize? Which organizations still have life left in them? From rising stars to roster construction and future outlooks, we break down the teams that could surprise the league in the next NBA playoff race.
