Bulls got a Cheap owner, they didn't surprise me.

Spurs, "tanked" twice in the last 30 years and got Robinson and Duncan

Wizards? I thought Leonsis had heavy pockets?

Mostly small market teams.

Leonsis will spend only up to the luxury tax. But he shelled out money this past summer into the Wizards and the Capitals. He was one of the owners who were pushing for a hard cap in the lockout since he saw the same thing in the NHL.

The problem with Leonsis is he has the worst GM in the NBA making the basketball decisions and Leonsis is loyal to him.

the irony

 

[Art Barr]

it's all in the game. now there would be no incentive to be on purpose.

this is the first time in league history, that all the teams on paper have a chance.
as, this is the first time the draft bolstered all the teams like this.
yet, I would not go to plan B.
as, it would revert the league back to what it was when the Lakers and Celts dominated.

You espoused superstars coming into sucky teams and the "slow build". The majority of superstars did not win titles that way including the most successful ones in recent memory so you basically like seeing superstars toil in mediocrity, carrying bums or leaving for greener pastures because thats what usually happens with the "slow build".

Orlando quickly grew into a title contender because they had back to back number 1 picks despite winning 40 games Shaq's rookie year (almost impossible today...it's actually the reason for that) and then they lost Shaq to an LA team that outbid them (can't happen today). Kobe was a HS player before they were known commodities and that's not an option today. That wasn't even the point, the point is that if he doesn't end up in LA rather than some sucky squad, his chances of being as successful as he's been teamwise are severely diminished. Spurs were lucky the Robinson goes down the year Duncan is available but they still had Robinson coming back and Pop on deck. In short, these slow builds don't exist and building a champion generally requires having a nice foundation in place to add the superstar to rather than building on a superstars back which has only happened one time (Jordan).

when, you say one time with jordan in mind.
do, you mean made the finals, a dynasty or just a ship?
