    This is why your better off with just 2 max level players so you can have good depth you never know when the injury bug strikes and this also doesn't mess up your future.

      I agree wit you but the Nets got a big 3 and elite depth. Goran,Seth,Blake,LA,Harris,Cam Thomas,and Bruce Brown. The Nets got KD and Kyrie to superstars that elevate their games in the playoffs,and Simmons a 3 time all star that is a elite playmaker and a elite defender

      No you’re not lol. If you’re talking about contractual structuring then yes you are right it is hard to put guys around your best players when you spend that much on your top guys but historically some of the greatest teams of all time had 3 max level talent players. If you have a chance to get 3 of the best players in the league on 1 team, you did it every time, and worry about the rest of your team/future later. It doesn’t work all the time, but when it does, it usually results in multiple championships.

    GS has figured out how to draft and develop players. There’s no cap on player development and scouting staff, so they doubled the size of their draft room and built an entire staff dedicated to developing their young players. They used to draft like the spurs, high character guys with length and defensive chops.. but after whiffing on players like Jacob evans, Pat Mccaw and Damian Jones, they realized that there was something missing from their mold. The confidence and swagger that steph, klay and draymond have… and so they break their usual mold and draft Jordan Poole with the 28th pick.. a guy that wasn’t even on anyones pre-draft boards but had the confidence and swagger of steph and klay. Every analyst said this was the worst pick of the draft having him going undrafted and could’ve been snagged with one of GS 2nd round picks, but GS was so high on him that they refused to risk missing out on him. You can coach players up defensively and the culture they’ve built there guarantees defensive effort out of every player, but you can’t teach confidence and swagger to be an elite offensive threat.

    The Heat’s big 3 was a whole lot of adjustment for Wade and Bosh. And honestly, Wade was probably a top 5-10 player on the first two season of that big 3 and he fell off to top 20 in the last 2 seasons.. Bosh was always in the 20-30 range..
    Bosh quickly found his role, pick and roll, 3. And his defense was so underrated, he moved so quickly to blitz and trap the p&r.
    Wade always played elite on or off the ball, he knows how to set himself up to score without having to dribble. And he was always a good defensive player.

    Love this conversation. I've always hated fans who dismiss teams because they didn't "build a championship the right way." It's a dumb sentiment and as a Suns fan I've seen our franchise try to "build it the right way" and we have no championships to show for it. The job of an organization is to win a championship, if you can draft the right guys then great, if not you do what you have to do and like KD and JJ said, when you have that guy, however you got him, you go for it because there is no guarantee you get another shot.

    • @smoothsavage2870
      @smoothsavage2870 Před 2 lety +27

      This is something people say because their team had a chance to win, but lose that chance because a superteam takes it away. I can understand this viewpoint because i was a Bulls fans during the early 2010s. This was when Lebron made the Heat superteam. He took away the Bulls chance to win a chip when he did that.
      Now on the flipside, people have been very hypocritical about this viewpoint. Very few teams have built SOLELY from the draft. So what is the "right way"? Organizations drafting and trading? If you're putting together dominant teams, it doesnt make a difference who does it because it has the same impact to the league whether a player does it or a GM.

    KD should just let it be, because he's never gonna convince us that winning with Golden State was some miraculous achievement. He's clearly sensitive about it because he always feels the need to justify it. But the fans will always know that it was easy and boring. Watching the NBA with a team as indestructible and inevitable like the Warriors was boring af. Even great teams in the past there was some uncertainty if they could win. Not with the Warriors. 16-17 playoffs were the most predictable and boring playoffs ever. Cavs and Warriors romped their conference and instead of getting a good finals as compensation for the boringness and predictability of the season and playoffs, the Warriors pretty much beat them in 3 (no team comes back from 3-0).
