Atlanta United. Even if they bomb their first season, as an expansion team, they can only go up.

I say the Falcons #1 because there is a much smaller difference to make up in the NFL. I also believe Arthur Blank is committed to bringing success to the Falcons. The Braves are totally reliant on the youth in the Minor Leagues. Thomas Dimitroff at least has some record of success. We cannot say that for the Braves new G.M. Next years Free Agent class is not impressive, so the Braves will have to be wheeling and dealing to bring in Power Bats. Finally the Hawks have the best chance at short term success if you want to keep on going to the Conference Semi-Finals and then get booted. The NBA is a Super Star driven league more than the NFL or MLB. In the NBA, you have to have a Super Star. There are none on the horizon in Atlanta. So their chances at a Championship may be smaller than the Braves or Falcons.
