The Thunder had one. The Spurs had one.

Green would be defended on here, and if KD or some other big free agent (I know that KD was a Thunder but just a hypo) signed on with the Thunder it would be "well anyone else could have done it, we just happened to do it."

The Warriors have added one superstar and one guy that any team in the NBA could have signed for with that money. They didn't.

FFS, The Thunder going into this past season were said to have a Super team of their own.

And when the NBA continues to have great ratings you can all sell me on how this is bad for the league (it's not and it's never been).

And the thunder kept the turd of the three superstars.

I didn't say it was bad for the league.

I just said let's even things out and let a small market team have a super.

Living in flyover country sucks.

Because Sam Presti is one of the worst GM's in league history. The Thunder have a wealthy owner - a billionaire I believe and he didn't want to pay the four million dollars for Harden. Then they let KD get alienated by the turd.

We gloss over this when we demonize the teams that are getting better each year. If Oladipo continues to be a monster, you could make an all-NBA team out of the guys OKC let go.

No one is stopping them. OKC literally had one. OKC built a superteam last year, it was just a bad one. Because your GM is awful. But you still have a former MVP, a top fifteen player, so it's not exactly like you're starving.

The NBA offseason is also one of the most highly rated deals in sports, too.

I'm sure the ratings would be better if it was San Antonio vs Toronto.

San Antonio is synonymous with ratings dips, btw.
