I don't like how NBA super teams are created now either.

and I recognize that the C's did it.

But I miss the days of drafting your way to success.

And when you have teams run by morons (seriously, these are the 31 smartest basketball minds in the league?!!??!) why not try to build through trades - Will Hunting Jul 4, 09:23
I think it's overblown... Jordan, Pippen and Rodman on the same team was more "super" than what's out there today - stewie Jul 4, 09:05 3
- Unless you're the smartest team around (recent vintage Spurs), you're not drafting your way to success unless you get the #1 pick - Will Hunting Jul 4, 09:13 2
  - if ok city hadn't been stupid enough to dump james harden for cents on the dollar, they might well have done so.... - x Jul 4, 09:23 1
    - They were the other I was thinkin in my post, but that Harden trade has me reconsidering their brilliance - Will Hunting Jul 4, 09:26
it doesn't bother me that much. basketball by nature is a game where two or three guys will make all the difference.... - x Jul 4, 08:22 11
- but that could be for nothing if the lottery goes against you - zork Jul 4, 08:27 6
  - there are multiple potential franchise guys this year....nm - x Jul 4, 08:32 5
    - all leagues need relegation -- nm - zork Jul 4, 08:48
    - True but teams will be tanking to get Wiggins. -- nm - Krusty Jul 4, 08:34 3
      - i don't think that's entirely the case. he's the real prize, sure. but teams will be tanking figuring top five-six is fine.... - x Jul 4, 08:37 1
        
        Yeah, this will be a very good draft class. I can see five teams in a race to the bottom. -- nm - Krusty Jul 4, 08:40
      - Tanking, that's where I'm a Viking! -- nm - Beaker Jul 4, 08:36
- Tanking should be met with ticket price decreases. -- nm - David Jul 4, 08:26 3
  - non starter. there's really no way to establish intent on tanking, nor is it really the league's purview to set ticket price standards...nm - x Jul 4, 08:34
  - it'll never happen but I agree. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 4, 08:31
  - this, especially when it is setup for the entire season as so many teams have done this offseason -- nm - Beaker Jul 4, 08:27
You guys drafted Rondo and Pierce. Two guys through free agency doesn't seem like much. - Krusty Jul 4, 08:18
