Silver said he had no problem with super teams. I hope he gets a sweep shoved up his rear.

The worry about GSW dominating for five years is overstated, with all of the money issues they are going to have to decide. Plus, other teams will load up themselves.

I don't know if I trust the integrity of the league and the officials enough to believe this isn't a 7 game series.

The GSW decline will be 100% self inflicted. No team can load up in a way that GS did. It took a once in a lifetime bargain with Curry and a huge cap increase to get Durant. No one can do that again.

ETA - The idea that someone can build a team to beat them is hilarious. You just have to wait until they're tired of the luxury tax.

The Pelicans or the Magic won't be loading up. They might get a piece or two but eventually, unless they just don't care about championships...they leave to be with their buddies.

The only alternative is to tank, hope you hit on a couple top 5 picks for 2-3 years and then ball out with youngins. Unfortunately, that's where the majority of the teams at the bottom are.

Unless you're like the Magic and can't even tank right, you get a lower pick than your finish.

If you look at the NBA since the Jordan era, there has not been a team with a run of dominance for more than five consecutive years. The Kobe-Shaq Lakers made four Finals appearances from 2000-2004. Than they broke up and were mediocre for three years before building another championship contending team. The Spurs win three championships from 2003-2007 and then they go six years without making another Finals appearance. The Big Three Celtics were really good for five years (2008-2012) and then they were done.

The question is what team from the East will start spending money to match up with Cleveland.

The Spurs are going to go after CP3 and if they get him will give GS some competition.
