Shit teams. Joke franchises and not enough talent. Contract 4-6 teams and shorten the season for fucks sakes. Now with KD joining the Dubs that leaves OKC as another hopeless team.

NBA really needs to implement a franchise tag or something because this shit is ridiculous
It's a sport that, at the highest level, is always going to be ruled by the best handful or so of players in the world. There's nothing the league can do about that or those players wanting to join forces when they become unrestricted free agents.
It's got nothing to do with the "talent level" in the league though, because it's never been higher and it'll only continue to improve as time goes by and that goes for any sport.
I don't buy it. Can you picture the Bucks in the Finals anytime soon? What about the T Wolves? There are just hopeless franchises who will never amount to anything. They suck at drafting and who the hell wants to play for minny? The bucks? Nowhere near enough talent to have 30 competitive teams.
I wonder how Adam Silver feels about this new super team? The best way to fix the parity problem is probably by changing the playoff format. There is more parity in the NFL because the playoffs are one game for all the marbles. That opens the door for a low seed to get hot and win a chip. Even if the Finals and conference Finals remained 7 games, the first two rounds should at least be one game. The first round of this years playoffs was practically unwatchable.
I'm sure the commissioner isn't going to give up playoff games due to the money coming in off television and ticket sales.
Hopefully we switch to a playoff format that eliminates conference seeding as well
clippers, bucks, suns
Better yet so many of these shit franchises ruin (top picks) potential stars because of shit coaching/terrible teammates/losing culture. Fucking Spurs turned a 15th pick into an MVP candidate.
Not the Bucks, but the Timberwolves might eventually be able to be in that mix.
The Warriors weren't far removed from the Clippers historically. The idea of them doing what they've done and luring a player the magnitude of Durant would have been unthinkable 2 years ago.
If the Timberwolves look like the next Thunder, the only thing that might prevent them from being a free agent destination is the cap.
Only an idiot would think talent hasn't and won't continue to progressively improve across sports, for all the obvious reasons.
Sometimes the talent is there but the coaching isn't or vice versa. That means not enough talented players or coaches imo.
Danny Green can't even dribble a basketall. D Jordan and Dwight can't hit a free throw to save their lives. And they are/were considered top players in the league. :lol
It's become La Liga. GSW's record is meaningless due to OP's point
why? there is no loyalty in sports. There is no loyalty in the nba outside of the spurs. Teams will have a player for 15 of his best years then dump him like a bag of dirt(knicks with Ewing), so why can't players do to teams what teams have been doing to players for decades?
