If teams want to, what's to stop them?
Without Spo they probably don't get to the playoffs.
Based on what, media narrative? Adding Butler mattered and lucking into Adebayo in the draft did. They got the former for the same reason O'Neal preferred to be traded to them and James and Bosh signed with them: location.
Kerr lucked into getting Curry and Thompson as they were entering their prime and has admitted that he had Green penciled in as a 10-15 mpg combo forward, before Lee got injured and the rest is history. Not to mention Durant for a while.
