I don’t know about you, but I’m enjoying seeing the failure of the “Big 3” teams in the NBA: Philly 76ers and Phoenix Suns. Both teams spent a lot of capital on putting together 3 top players on their team. In Phoenix’s case, despite a 2nd successive season of having the big 3 and an expensive coach, it still isn’t working out. It shows you can’t put 3 stars and expect a team to win. You still need solid role players around them - the next 5 are just as important as the first 3. I was never impressed with the roster construction in Philly or Phoenix last off season, and happy to see my intuition bear out. Hopefully this will prevent other big name players from wanting to join their buds thinking it’s an easy chase for the ring in the future and stop this non-sense all together.

    Game changed, bigs are nowadays only ball dominant and new owners like Ishtbia don’t know/care about fit and playing style. Suns gotta be the worst tea lm ever on that payroll.
