My point is that Houston and Golden State have identified and capitalized on arbitrage opportunities. I don’t think NBA fans are thrilled about either team at this point, since - despite concerns about Harden’s foul-baiting - Golden State has dominated the NBA for almost 3 years now.
As for cap smoothing - my bad, you’re right! https://www.si.com/nba/2015/03/11/nbpa-rejects-salary-cap-smoothing-labor-negotiations-cba-lebron-james https://www.si.com/nba/2015/03/11/nbpa-rejects-salary-cap-sm...
And GS in 2016-17, also right and I’m kind of shocked! That Curry contract was a steal in retrospect (although justified given his early career injury troubles). http://www.basketballinsiders.com/golden-state-warriors-team-salary/golden-state-warriors-salary-archive-201617/ http://www.basketballinsiders.com/golden-state-warriors-team...
(The CP3 thing I won’t discuss except to say that he’s a prodigious talent who also takes shots, although they are sometimes of a cheaper, dirtier kind.)
- CalChris 7y agoCP3 is unquestionably a first vote HOF. Not my favorite, but a great player. Arguably in the top 5 small players ever. (Edit: Sorry, I was agreeing with you.) As for GS, it seems they're pretty popular elsewhere. I obviously like the Warriors brand of beautiful basketball, but I have to, I am forced to against my will, give credit to the Rockets for assembling the anti-Warriors and analyzing the game and the opposition. I can't watch their games but they are very effective. (Weird that you're getting downvoted.)
- achompas 7y agoI don’t think I questioned CP’s HOF credentials anywhere, except on whether he’s a dirty player. Which he is.
