Kevin Durant and LeBron James are to blame for all this. What else were teams gonna do but to sell everything to try and compete.

Stacking OLD stars have never worked. Just look at the Lakers adding Steve Nash and old Gasol in the 2013.
Stacking stars in their prime may work.. but not a bunch of 32-35 year olds.

Sixers need to do the inevitable only for chance that maybe fate does the same thing as the Pacers and Thunders got. Clips and Sixers in the finals in a few years thanks to PG?!

George has been and is one of the most overrated players in the league. Kawhi at least has one championship.

NBA past over a lot player’s that should be star🌟 it’s all about who can sale tickets.. From fans period Tyrese not even better then Ice Trae . It’s like we don’t want real basketball anymore because everyone is old. The NBA is nothing but a joke.. No body in the NBA doesn’t even use the whole team no back up player’s cause they are not good eough to play with in game. But only able to Practice with the starting 5.. It’s just a joke. Like Minnesota they got mR Big 10 Lucia from Iowa. But gets no clock. He can shoot and rebound defend . They don’t care about player’s . And stacking doesn’t matter if you can get beat by small teams Referees. So stop gambling on fake sports .The game doesn’t follow the rules anymore.

OKC reminded you all that basketball is a team game and the bench is important. This also explains why Lebron Miami run is one of the greatest. They literally had no bench

Because today’s superstars don’t care as much about defense as they once did, it no longer works.
