So for all you capitalism-is-always-good, communism-is-always-bad types: This is as socialist as it gets in a capitalist system.

Do they redistribute back to the owners? Do “smaller” markets get a bigger chunk?

I SAY THE TITLE

Once all the bills are paid etc., why not pour everything else into winning a title? They won’t b getting too many chances at it.

I agree. OKC got exposed last season. As one dimensional as they are offensively it’s going to be difficult to win a title. Not only do they not have any low post scorers, they don’t even have a low post threat! And as much as I like Harden’s game he is not a max player. He too got exposed in the Finals. OKC fans just assume they’re the team of the future but I’m not so sure. I recall a Portland team that featured Drexler, Porter, Kersey, etc., that was supposed to win titles. That team was much more balanced then OKC is now and they didn’t win anything

He is not a max money player. What they need is low post scoring.

He’s a young Jason Terry, nothing more. He was exposed in the Finals.
