I don't know if people are saying they weren't equal talents. I think people are saying they weren't equal players.
Isn't it true that in 1965 the Warriors tried to shop Wilt, so the owner of the Lakers had his players vote on it and they voted 9-2 against?
No idea, but that wouldn't surprise me as Wilt had a bit of reputation of being a problem (though most of his coaches and teammates spoke very highly of him). Of course he ended up in LA and was a large part of LA winning its first title since moving from Minnesota, so there is that.
