Agreed 504.
The concentration of talent is only going to help the marquee matchups. Outside of that fans will grow disillusioned and disinterested if they are on the outside looking in at the super teams dominating everyone else. And if what you say is right it is already happening.
With that said I kind of think there is no way the next CBA is signed without something very close to a hard cap. Maybe some sort of exception but it will not be like now.
Realistically it is the best option right now to reduce the trend and stop this vicious cycle.

I'd say the NBA makes its money on marquee matchups
The networks are picking who they want on TV. It's becoming like WWF with the storylines. On one hand, they got the straight up good matchup vs 2 great teams. On the other hand, they will market the hell out of games like Lebron playing MIA or now Durant vs GS. They will play up the Spurs one last run with the vets. Big market teams like NYK, LAL, BOS making moves to become relevant. Simmons in PHI. I think the NBA is as strong as ever, and this is how they want it
Now they also get to exploit Durant vs OKC for the WC title in the playoffs. The possible rematch with CLE in the finals.
I don't really see the stars teaming up as a bad thing thing at all. It's all exploitable storylines for the NBA
