But it can in Milwaukee? There's no difference.

Milwaukee won a title recently?

They're every bit a title contender as anyone

Won't happen. Milwaukee might never win another title either but Cleveland for sure never will. It's just how it is.

Throw in WiggityWack and you got the God's honest truth...

Now I'm starting to see what msgkings was saying about the board needing trolls. With them three it's Comedy Central...

Wow, did not know the high and almittee
Resided here! Think much of yourself do ya? Dammmm

Look at who the Heat made the finals with. Not exactly a daunting roster build.

They had no chance. Cleveland simply will never win again

I mean, it's just facts. There are other teams that will never ever win a title either. Like the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies.

You are likely correct, but If the league were ever to do anything to curb the super teams then all bets could be off. Not likely with Silver around though.

Since there have been superteams since the league began I don't see why they would need to change anything

Not like it is now days, no way we would have got to where we are with David Stern at the helm. I do think there will be some changes at some point.

There were many superteams on Stern's watch dude. And what do you mean "got to where we are"? The league has never been more profitable or popular.

There's one super team in the league. There were none last season

Then you need much more. You also need to attract at least one more major star to your city instead of the other, better cities with stars of their own.

Never gonna happen again in Cleveland.

That's one way of doing it. Trading for a star is also an option.

Indeed. Never gonna happen in Cleveland. They may draft a star. They may then trade for another. It won't be enough.

Lack of competitiveness is the issue as I see it.

 

[msgkings322]

Lack of competitiveness is the issue qq I see it. I agree with a lot of this article.

It's always been this way
The same 2 teams have won literally 2/3 of all the championships. There are always grumblers about it, especially fans of small market teams, but the league has never been healthier.

Not everyone thinks so

Far more do than don't. Also the money doesn't lie.

It's more than a little lottery luck. You need a high pick and that high pick to ACTUALLY become a star.

well, it's luck that they get the high pick. Not entirely luck picking the right guy and developing him.
