#3 Golden State Warriors
The last two years have not been favorable, but the Warriors are going to be back this upcoming season and are ready to contend for their fourth title in eight seasons.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green will once again lead this team, but this time, they have a ton of talent surrounding them.
Golden State has Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, Kevon Looney, Jordan Poole, Otto Porter Jr., Andre Iguodala, Damion Lee and a few other key talents on their roster to contend for a title, but they could use another frontcourt piece like Paul Millsap, who is comfortable playing pick-and-roll basketball.
For his career, Millsap has shot 34.3% from three-point range, which is not great, but this is definitely advantageous to the Warriors if they can add him.

The veteran power-forward would be yet another option the Warriors can turn to outside of Draymond Green in their frontcourt, giving them the last little bit of depth they need.
From 2015-2019, the Warriors made five straight NBA Finals appearances, so there really is no reason why they cannot make it back there during the 2021-22 season, assuming everyone remains healthy through the end of the year.
