I think we need to redefine super teams. This is not me arguing with hobbes in any way. Magic, Larry, and Michael all played on super teams. There are super teams created by sheer incompetence of other teams in trades and through the draft, and then there are super teams created by the players through trades free agency. Neither is a wrong way to create a great team, and both can be extremely infuriating (thanks Memphis, you fucking assholes). Larry got the benefit of a great trade for Boston, and Magic got to play with Cap and Worthy (Cleveland doing Cleveland things) . Michael got the benefit of a great GM in Jerry Krause, who no matter how much he was hated was fucking terrific at scouting and team building. KD got to choose where he wanted to destroy the league, as did Lebron. If Michael, Larry, or Magic had got to play in the player empowerment era, we'd be bitching about it too much the same way we bitched about the Lakers getting lucky as fuck that Kobe threatened to sit out if anyone else drafted him or that Pop hated Dennis Rodman so much that Will Perdue looked sexy. Btw, Pop has made some shitty ass trades.
I really don't know this fucking tangent was about.
