Four reasons super teams are ruining the NBA

If you can learn something from the current NBA off-season, it’s that the 2017-18 season could be the era of “super teams.” Last year, the only super team we can call were the Cavs and the Warriors. Now, we have these two teams and the Thunder and Rockets.

Here are reasons super teams are ruining the NBA: 

1. Super teams make small market smaller 

You make a super team by buying three or more superstars. Now, teams that can afford this much are those with a higher salary cap. Teams like Charlotte, Indiana, Milwaukee, and Memphis won’t make enough money because they won’t gain as many sales because of their smaller markets, making them more irrelevant in the future. 

2. It isn’t fun to watch anymore 

With the current format of NBA teams, where you see uber-powerful teams versus a bunch of “scrubs,” it becomes less and less exciting to watch the regular season games. You wouldn’t spend your time watching the Warriors go against the 76ers. So, people just wait for the Finals. 

3. Players are taking the easy way out 

Kevin Durant’s decision to take the easy way out (any way you see it, he really did take the easy way out), started a trend among players to just team up to make the most dominant team, instead of working hard to improve individually, making the league as a whole look weak.
