No, they've always done that too. The only real difference is that the players are doing it in smaller markets like Cleveland and Golden State now instead of Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston.

I didn't like it when Lebron went to Miami, don't like that Durant left OKC, and don't like all these veterans being released going to the 2 top teams. It makes it no fun to watch except the Finals I guess. |

The NBA has always been top heavy. Just the nature of having star players. Although I've always said I wish someone would at least step up in the East to challenge LeBron. Other than that 3-4 year run by the Celtics, LeBron has very rarely been challenged. Jordan had to face the Knicks, Cavs, and Pacers. Bird had to face some truly great Sixers teams, and then later the Pistons.
The closest comparison would probably be the 80's Lakers. They weren't challenged much, but the Rockets had a couple good teams get through, and late in the Magic/Kareem era, the Blazers were a really good team too. The Jazz had Stockton and Malone too. Right now I can't think of an Eastern Conference team that would at least compare to that group. |

There was no player movement until 1988 outside of trades and the draft.

I just wish they could come up with a system to not allow that to happen and spread out the competitive balance. And shorten the regular season to make it intriguing and worth to watch. |

What else can the league do that wouldn't be unfair punishment to players who want to go to better teams? If KD wants to lose out on tens of millions of dollars in order to go to Golden state, why shouldn't he? Posted via Mobile Device |

I appreciate Dirk and his ability to piss away a high draft pick for Dallas. Thanks, Dirk!
