6. Brooklyn Nets (2020)
The Nets tried to build a super team in 2019 but things didn’t go as smoothly as planned. Sure, they brought most of the components to New York but they couldn’t get them all on the court. They signed the likes of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden over two years. However, injuries prevented their stars from making the kind of impact they dreamed of.

Brooklyn improved in 2020 and enjoyed better luck. They made it to the postseason with most of their roster intact. First, they took on the Celtics and won the series. Then they came up against the Bucks in the Conference semifinals. Milwaukee was the eventual overall winner but Brooklyn still felt disappointment. They had one of the most stacked rosters in the league and still couldn’t win (via Sportskeeda).
