    By "true", I mean the last champion to do it the right way. The Pistons did it right also. The Heat did it right the first time around.

    These teams won championships by building through the draft, making "fair" trades and playing "team" basketball.

    Then comes the era of "superteams".

    To beat the Spurs, it took some shady dealings.

    Boston gets Allen and Garnett for what.....nothing. Lakers get Gasol for what....practically nothing.

    Just a simple case of the big money teams taking the best players from weaker franchises. And no one will ever convince me that Jerry West and Kevin McHale didn't have a hand in this unfair taking of players.

    Now the "superteam" era. Heat are able to take two best players from weaker teams to form their "superteam".

    Ratings will be great! Stern will be happy!

    Meanwhile, those who do it the right way get screwed.

    That's why the Spurs are the last "true" champions. Why not just make it a league that includes only the Heat, Lakers, Celtics, Bulls, and Knicks? (need to steal a couple of players besides Amare though)... maybe also add the Suns since the league has an infatuation with showing them on TV all the time. That would give us an even six teams in an NBA "Super-league"......That way the public gets what they want. Let all the other teams be a minor league with their champion getting a chance to move up next season and replace the last place team in the NBA "Super-league".

    Rasheed Wallace sent to Detroit (from Atlanta, who traded for him less than 2 weeks beforehand) for Zeljko Rebraca, Bob Sura and traded Lindsey Hunter and Chucky Atkins to the Boston Celtics for Mike James. The deal also included two draft picks that became Josh Smith (Atlanta) and Tony Allen (Boston). Hunter was then waived by Boston and re-signed by Detroit.

    I disagree with the concept of the post, but the Pistons got Rasheed Wallace in a salary-cap swap. Everyone was a free agent with Atkins being the exception, but it's a lot easier to get rid of Rebraca and Sura than Wallace, not to mention getting Josh Smith, and Rasheed was making noise he would sign in New York for the MLE.

    I don't think anyone cares. In sports all that matters is the scoreboard.

    When you meant the "right way", do you mean tanking a season to get the #1 pick?

    Define tank...actually explain the whole tank job. Tell us what it took for the Spurs to get the #1 pick...in it's entirety. If you can accurately lay it out, I'd be shocked. But I'll give you the benefit of a doubt.

    So... in it's entirety...explain the tanking.

    OK odorous one...You explain it. You give all of us a better answer than "everyone knows."

    Let's see if you're into investigation or are you just a fluff reader regurgitating half-truths.

    If fluff reading and half-truths is good enough for the Gasol Affair, its certainly good enough for the Duncan Affair.
