When the 2014-15 NBA season commences, most teams will have lofty dreams of hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy next June. Reality will soon thwart those grand plans for all but one franchise, however.
Luckily, the 2014-15 season won't necessarily be a bust for the other 29 squads. Making long-term strides toward sustained title contention isn't such a bad consolation prize for franchises that fail to advance deep into the 2015 playoffs.
Even the best-laid plans sometimes go horribly awry, though. Sometimes an injury submarines a team's chances of making some noise in the playoffs. A soon-to-be free agent could begin demanding a trade, forcing a franchise into a less-than-palatable decision. Certain young players might not pan out as otherwise anticipated.
Ultimately, the worst-case scenario for each team isn't just missing out on the 2015 title; it's something that does far more long-term damage to the franchise. Take a glimpse at such a nightmare scenario for every NBA team this coming season—and pray it doesn't come to fruition for your favorite squad.
