Leeds United's main objective for the upcoming Premier League season is to survive promotion and not repeat the relegation misfortunes of the last six newly-promoted teams.
Even in an era defined by parity -- a different champion has been crowned in a league-record seven consecutive seasons -- only a handful of teams are truly championship-quality every year. As a result, teams might be all-in on developing a young core like the Thunder was three seasons ago, or all-in on navigating two timelines like the Golden State Warriors or Dallas Mavericks.
