It’s easy to say when you’re a fan of the big market teams. Without parity though it’s 3 or 4 teams competing for a championship per year at most, some years even less. How about we just have only the lakers and Brooklyn in the league the next two years? What’s the point of a regular season? 95% of the time there are no surprises in the league of who’s going to the finals. BORING. I want a dogfight. I want to see competition.Ok?
Change the team you like then if it bothers you so much. The washed players i'm referring to are Griffin and LMA. Drummond is the guy with no impact on winning in his career.
And yes, I think the NBA imporved with Lebron going to Miami. I think the NBA improved with KD going to GSW. It made for interesting storylines. It creates teams people love to hate. Parity is extremely overrated.
Without parity it’s cheap because then you have teams who trust the process and spend years of hard work and draft building to get towards the very top, then with one fell swoop you have the two biggest market teams casually pick up the best buyout players out there for nothing.
Gone are the days of the San Antonio Spurs - if you’re a small market team, even if you do everything right, you have almost no chance of winning a chip.
You can’t control the best players going to the larger markets. That’s fine. So at the very least they can change the rules on the buyout. If you get bought out you can’t play until next year. I think that’s fair.
