Also I dislike Durant for what he has done to the NBA and on social media but can't fault him for going to the Warriors even if it did fuck the NBA for years. Dude wanted to win and theres no rule in place preventing it. The vast majority of players would have done the same thing.

Shitty for non Warriors fans but it's not like the superteam was created by the Warriors. Players have been doing it for a while and as long as the CBA allows then they are going to keep doing it. I can't see how you can easily prevent it whilst the soft cap is in place. Also got to remember it was the players themselves that enabled the current landscape by wanting the cap rise all in one go rather than phased in to prevent that scenario. The cap jumping massive amounts was what allowed the Warriors to do it and that only came about because players wanted their money and wanted it now.

Also other teams were at fault too. Maybe if front offices hadn't gone around throwing money around like it was going out of style that summer, some other teams may have been able to rise up. But teams were given a huge caprise and the majority squandered it by giving absolutely atrocious contracts to players who didn't remotely deserve them and we are still seeing some of those contracts in play now. Warriors out there giving Durant like 25m whilst other teams are giving players like Mozgov and Biyombo 17m a year for 4 years
