I watched about half as much of the Finals as I normally do. I just hate watching the Klutch Sports teams play (when LeBron was on the Heat and the Lakers). At least when Durant went to the Warriors, almost the entire rest of the stars on the team were homegrown (Curry, Klay, Draymond) or mid-level free agents (Igoudala).
The 2019-20 Lakers were built by LeBron (or his agents) talking to Anthony Davis and telling him to force a trade to the Lakers. The LeBron Heat teams were set up a few years in advance by LeBron and Bosh coordinating signing shorter extensions to come up for free agency at the same time. This years Clippers' team was the same way - Kawhi getting Paul George to force a trade to only the Clippers.
Players need to have some say in where they play, but it's gotten to the point now where you might as well let the 5-6 superstars form their own teams (it's almost what's happening now anyway) and drop the pretense. If the NBA Hall of Fame was like MLB where the HOFers had to have a team hat be put on their plaque, there isn't a single Laker on this year's title team that would have a Laker hat on. There are 2 surefire HOFers (LeBron and AD), another guy who basketballreference.com gives a 99+% chance of getting in (Howard) and another guy who they give a >60% chance of getting in (Rondo) that at least were rotation players. Cumulatively, they've played 6 seasons with the Lakers out of their 55 cumulative seasons in the league.
