They're going to trade Westbrook before the end of this season
Maybe NFL lockouts always win

[QUOTE="OfTheCross, post: 19978304, member: 9384"]Drafting well isn't light years ahead. Other orgs do that as well.
Having good talent isn't light years ahead. Other orgs have that too.
Players willing to make a concerted effort to recruit someone is what's different[/QUOTE]
If drafting well was so easy more than 3 teams would be able to do it. As far as the players recruiting Durant, we sent 4 guy there, why didn't OKC, Miami, Boston, LAC and SA do the same?

Yeah, but they are forced at this point.. and they HAVE to trade him basically to the team of choice or he will walk on the new team..
If it was that deep we wouldn't have max contracts, period. If you got back to the old Bird rules, guys like Bron and KD would never dream of leaving (if owners were willing to spend that is).
at a franchise tag. These owners are grown ass men that have been successful in business. Do better, period. Stop trying to give them safety nets to protect them from their own shortcomings (although in OKCs case they clearly did their job and it was the players that fell short). That said, I really don't think the owners care like that. I believe it was Amin that said the the owners chose cost certainty over everything else. Everybody is slotted and you don't have to think or worry about anybody rocking the boat in terms of salary. I highly doubt owners truly give a fukk about this, with the record profits that are being made right now not to mention the interest generated by stuff like this.

Less parity is bad for the sport. Im not watching basketball next seaso.. What's the point? The whole point of the salary cap is go prevent situations like Durant going to Golden State.

No, tell the players, coaches, and scouting department on OTHER teams to step it up as well as the owners and GM's.
GWS generally is an organic team and they didnt do ANYTHING out of the ordinary to make themselves a title contender why can't other teams do the same?
When did you start watching basketball?
The cap would have prevented it if you didn't have these silly max slots that limit how much a top player can make and thusly make money less of an issue.

While I agree that other teams should do better the answer to your question is obvious...Steph Currys don't come along every year. Draymonds don't come along in the 2nd round every year. This ain't he NFL where it's all about stock piling talent and scheme. In the NBA you gotta have special players at the top if you wanna win. Only way for most teams to get those players is through the draft. And for the most part you gotta be lucky to be in the right spot in the right year. For example, as great as SA's FO has been over the last 2 decades if they get the number 2 pick in 97 I highly doubt they win one chip let alone the 5 they got.
It could've been prevented if guys like Durant, Curry, Klay & Draymond's contracts were limited by an arbitrary max percentage slot.
And for all the talk that parity in the NBA is dead. 6 teams have won a title in the last 7 seasons. The NBA hasn't had a stretch like this in nearly 40 years
It'll be great for the players in the sense that a player like John walls salary cap hit increase as the cap does. I think that's something that needs to happen

I watch casually and occasionally and always tune in playoff time. I'm not paying attention at all next year.
