Only if it's through free agency.. trade demands are getting out of hand.. I personally live when a "super team" loses.. also find it hilarious that they call every other team now a super team.. but won't consider Jordan, Pippen and Rodman one..

For that era that was a super team. 3 of the best defenders in the league, the #1 rebounder, #1 scorer. It was unfair.

Well done man! Yeah, I read this in high school. It seemed slow and dry compared to Martian Chronicles and basically all the sci-fi I read back then, but look where we're at now. I wanted Arthur C Clarke's, or Roddenberry's future... not this evangelical nightmare trying to drag us back to the dark ages. Hell, even a dystopia like Blade Runner is preferable to this stagnant Idiocracy.
