Nuggets need another piece. I think them proving they can play with the big boys might lure some guys in. I almost think it would be a perfect place for Giannis If he’s leaving Milwaukee. I wouldn’t mind a guy like Draymond Green even though I can’t stand the guy him replacing Milsap would be huge. Not sure if gsw are going to part with him though it did look like they might for a bit there but who knows now.
That’s a lost cause. When you have people like Lebron James and Kevin Durant stacking teams, it’s not realistic to think it matters.
Here’s another problem: star players get preferential treatment regarding officiating. So if LeBron has put together an all star team, you’re not just going against the talent on that team. They’re also getting a majority of the calls in their favor. It’s like the deck is stacked against you times two.
If you didn’t have people like Lebron James and Kevin Durant making a mockery out of the idea of competitive balance, the Nuggets would have plenty to go far. But they beat one of these stacked teams in the Clippers. It’s kind of asking a lot to expect them to also beat both.
