I've seen a lot of critiques. Whether out of jealousy, anger, sadness, whatever. People can react however they want.
The idea that the league is structurally flawed because of Durant (a FA exercising his right to choose) is beyond absurd. This the CBA the owners, by and large, wanted. The owners took the players to the cleaners in 2011. And it's been very good for business. This, too, will be good for business. The NBA is never better than with a monolith.
This raises the bar for everyone else and teams will try like hell to solve the Warriors. It should be exciting, even if ultimately futile.

It is a unique problem that was made only because the escalating salary cap was a substantial amount along with underpaid elite players on yesterday's salary cap.
When the salary cap stabilizes in the next couple of years and the current generation of max players emerge it will correct itself.

My complaint about Durants decision reall has nothing to do with the structure of the league. I just think it was sort of chickenshit (and nothing like LeBron).

That doesn't make it good for the fans / game.

Ok. I'm not sure I agree, but for the sake of argument let's assume it's true. I don't think that changes anything about whether or not it's good for the game or the fans.
It's kind of like what ESPN programming has become with Skip Bayless, Stephen A. Smith, etc. It may be good for business. People may love to hate it. But, it's not good programming, and ultimately, It think it will hurt the network.

I can honestly say that I'm not excited. If the Warriors begin to dominate the league, I really won't have much interest until the final...where I'll be pulling for the underdog to win. And, in the end, if the Warriors do win, any talk about them being the greatest, etc. will simply be comparing apples to oranges to me. It won't hold any water. But, my opinion is only one. Maybe you and many others can enjoy the manufacturing of greatness.
