Let's not act like the NBA isn't going to be fucking awful in two-three years.

The Heat, the Knicks, the Lakers will always be relevant (given they get someone, even they could suck), but Dwight leaves the Magic, they suck & he'll likely wind up on one of two teams I named. Celtics will get old & they will suck; same with the Spurs.

If this years Bulls team was in the league four-five years ago, people would say they could be one of the favorites, but now with these these elite teams, they are almost given no chance for winning, even the Magic right now are basically out of the Finals conversations.

You have Deron Williams, you should be in Brooklyn in a few years. That's very attractive especially when the Knicks & Heat won't have room to sign any of these players. If the top fifteen players are going to make up five teams of three each, that means we still need three more elite teams. The Bulls could be one, the Nets could be the other & maybe the Lakers be the third or the Thunder. It's basically going to be an auction to see which of those team I named are going to be one of these "elite teams" that can't be beaten come playoff team by some "regular team".

And this is why the NBA needs a hard cap like the NHL.

It needs to do something before teams like your Raptors are drafting great prospects out of college & losing them because they'd rather play in Chicago because that's their only chance of winning.

If this keeps up, the NBA will lose ten teams in the next ten-fifteen years.

The hard cap would help. But the problem is that NBA players are stars and celebrities more than any other sport in America. They have bigtime endorsements, etc. Even if you could make 2 million more per year to play in Oklahoma than you would get in LA (for example), if youre a star you might still want to go to LA. Im sure these players agents are telling them....go to LA....go to NY....go to Miami! The exposure alone might net them more money than that 2 million per year they would have gotten in Oklahoma. Look at Lamar Odom. You know how many females I know, who dont know SHIT about the NBA...but still know who Lamar fuckin Odom is just cus he dates Kim Kardashians big brother. Its a good career move to go to a bigger market.

I remember when LeBron was a Free Agent it came out that Nike was going to give him 25 million more if he went to a major city; NY, Chicago, LA, Miami.
