I mean...he's 32 yrs old.

Very true, but he had his chance last year to sign with another star player(s). He chose money, correct?I mean...he's 32 yrs old.
Dudes just want to whine; "superteams" are fine as long as the GM/Management are responsible for bringing them together.
The realness of the bolded
Star players playing together and winning chips throughout the history of the league= perfectly fine
Star players wanting to play together and win chips today = sacrilege
I've come to the conclusion the the majority of people spouting this are not serious (they can't be) and are just saying this for our amusement
.
I don't lament free agency and players wanting to win by playing with other great players, I lament the buddy buddy nature of the majority of these players, and to that extension, the league and fans of it.
Dudes used to have actual fist fights in basketball.....sure they weren't great, but they had actual animosity towards each other. They had players they compared themselves to and had rivalries with and the fans were in on that too.
I think part of the problem is the star players have no one with the backbone to check them in management anymore either. That's one of the only reasons you don't see it in Football; the league structure, cap and large work force with all those layers make it hard for a group of players to force their way together onto one team.
The league needs more temperamentally fragile stars in my mind, lol. Rondo, Boogie, Westbrook....like, I watched Cousins during the skills competition, and that dude looked like he might have liked to punch Towns rather than congratulate him. Put him on Boston and let him clothesline Porzingas in MSG, or put him on Boston and let him toss IT after a drive. Put him in Chicago and have him lose his mind on Drummond at the Palace....and then drop a 30/20/5 on them while they are frothing.
I'm rambling now.....

Stars wanting to play together is all the NBA knows.
But stars wanna handpick that location too. That's where it becomes futile for some teams. You gotta form alliances on some Real World /Road Rules challenge shyt. Making friends is almost as important as working on your game

They completely ignore context and rewrite history to fit their nostalgia-driven narratives

Pippen started on the bulls ain't like he was a proven NBA superstar and got traded off hype/stats, why do nikkas use the 90's bulls as a counterpoint 
They built the nikkas they had INTO superstars lmao

at the end of the day it's a team game
Big homie!!!!!!!
He did. Dude had contenders looking to bring him so they could be better and he chose the money. It seems like it's finally hit him that maybe it wasn't a good idea to cash all the way out.
And the total opposite can be said for Dwight Howard. Dude probably feels like a complete doofus for leaving Orlando high and dry.

On wanting to play with good players .....
It's must be fukked up to pour your heart out and put up crazy numbers and because your so called team mate is getting raped by a player on the other team and lose the game because he can't shoot or defend he don't have to answer for it
It's your fault because you could have scored 40 instead of 38.....
And your sitting at the locker with a million reporters looking at you like
With Mics in your face and you have to be a "good sport"

25 year old melo (I think) with a younger mozgov Italian stallion and some others I can't think about that could have stayed or flipped for a true 2nd star
