The thing that sucks about the NBA now is the product is horrible bc there is no parity anywhere. The Western conference has turned into the Eastern conference.
LeBron wins the East every year (bc it's incredibly weak), Tim Duncan will retire causing the Spurs to rebuild a bit, KD leaves OKC and the Warriors are much stronger. It's going to be GS/CLE part tres next year and probably the year after that. Last year OKC and SA were legit challenges for GS, but that's over now. Nobody will challenge GS or Cleveland Unless they play each other. The NBA already had a growing problem with parity, but now the league is weaker and more unwatchable than ever before. Fans won't really care until the Finals.

Both conferences are now complete shit from like their 4th seed playoff team to the bottom. There is a complete lack of talent everywhere. Nobody is believable besides like 4 teams (Cavs, Warriors, Spurs, Clippers)

I always thought besides shortening the season the NBA needs to have some kind of franchise tag. Parity is what makes the NFL great and the NBA needs to follow suit somehow. I know they tried in the last CBA but I don't think it is working that well.

I am done watching Basketball.
This is turning into a bush league. The "elite" star players are sellouts. They (i.e., Lebron & Durant) have so much impact to the point where they've narrowed the competition into a two team league. They've bolstered the level of competition within their clubs to the point where it cannot be matched by the rest of the league. I understand it's about them wanting to win championships, etc.....I get it but for Gods sake where does that leave everyone else? It handcuffs the rest of the other teams in the league. Forget about anybody else. It's going to be Cleveland vs Golden State again and again. This whole building super team bs is becoming a trend over the last 15-20 years. It started with Shaq and the other stars like James, Durant copied along. And now that we hear Wade might join Cleveland? That's when you know it's getting out of hand. But what can you do? That's the frustrating part. This stuff is difficult to regulate because no star will like it if they're restricted in their actions on where to sign. So what can be done to control this? It's not fun watching basketball when you know that you're team is somebody other than GS or Cleveland has no chance at winning it. Where can the league go from here? As a fan Id like to see more balance, and distribution with respect to competition. |

I really would like the NBA adopt a salary strategy that would make it impossible to have 3 star players on the same team. It used to be one star & one sidekick. Now it's super teams. And, it's going to sell tickets. It's going to be marketable. And make a ton of money. But I don't like it.
