Best Teams to Rebuild in NBA 2K22

5. New York Knicks

Starting off the list are the New York Knicks, who coming off of their first winning regular season in years. Despite retaining almost all of last year's defensive stalwart squad, and adding Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier, it'll be on you if and when they can get a Top 15 talent to truly make New York have two serious postseason threats.

4. Charlotte Hornets

Coming off of a Play-In Tournament loss that had finished just short of the NBA Playoffs, the Charlotte Hornets' busy summer now has them pinned with a ton of money invested in Gordon Hayward, Terry Rozier III, Mason Plumlee, and Kelly Oubre Jr. While it's clear Charlotte isn't exactly a free agent destination, adding some more proven playoff performers would help ensure budding star LaMelo Ball reaches his full potential.

3. New Orleans Pelicans

Next up, the situation for the New Orleans Pelicans is looking pretty stressful with rumors of the real-life Zion Williamson sounding as if the two-year pro's patience is running out. With a revolving door of head coaches going in and out the door is the last couple of seasons, it's time for NOLA to get their act together. Build a roster with shooting and defense and let Zion do work.

2. Sacramento Kings

Needless to say, the Sacramento Kings fanbase deserves better. After swinging and missing on several high draft picks that could've been used on good-to-hall of fame caliber talent, Sactown hasn't been close to contending for a chip in ages. From the head coach to the starting lineup, it's all free game for you to right the ship.

1. Oklahoma City Thunder

Last but not least, the Oklahoma City Thunder easily have the most draft picks in the league after what was one of the all-time tanking jobs last season, and numerous blockbuster trades. With plenty of cap space and young guns, OKC has a blank canvas for fantasy GMs to shape their championship team.
