The summer historically has been littered with colossal flops, from “The Lone Ranger” to “The Adventures of Pluto Nash” to this year’s “The Flash.”

While the blockbuster big-screen success of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” have saved the summertime box-office outlook, which local team (or teams) will rescue New York sports from a brutal summer filled with disastrous results, particularly from the overpriced Mets, the middling Yankees and, on a national scale, the premature World Cup elimination of the U.S. women’s soccer team.

In that regard, you certainly can extend the summer slog back a couple of months to the dismantling of the superteam Nets and the first-round playoff exits of the Rangers and the Islanders.

So, which team is most likely to pull New York out of the sweltering doldrums?
