Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4562633, member: 1969"] If you build a big 3 organically or a big 3 while retaining some future assets its fine. But my issue is trading away everything for a big 3 instead of retaining a big 2: 1) Generally as I mentioned 1+1+1=2 as there is only so much ball. 2) You really diminish the ability your #4-#8 guys on your team due to salary issues. 3) And you don't have picks or room to easily improve those guys. Basically it gives you more flexibility. Not to say it couldn't work. It could certainly work. And it did work in those 16 games as you noted. I just think the Nets got greedy. And of course their stars were volatile (starting primarily with Irving)... but Durant and Harden are not that easy either. You are just asking for a blowup the more you bring in. [/QUOTE]
