if a team drafts well, they should have advantages to keep their roster together. Why should a team be punished because they are good at drafting?
There is a vast difference between a team like the celtics and Denver and warriors (pre durant) that has drafted 90% of their core players and help and someone like LA or Phoenix who are trying to do it through Free agency/trades
I think what I’m struggling to understand in this example is how Phoenix’s path to building and maintaining a contender is any easier than Boston, Denver, or Golden State.
i'm not saying its easier. What i'm saying is what the NBA is trying to "get rid of" is the phoenix/LA way of building teams. Phoenix may be harder in the end because even if they pull this off to get Beal then they have limited resources to fill out their bench.
a team like Boston or Denver or Golden state may have a great roster, but its due to building through the draft
Ah ok I misunderstood your post, and I agree.
