But other than Shaq, all had experienced HOFer who were playing great, among the top 3 coach of the past few decades.
That said, I agree with your point, I don't think we will be a true contender next year and unless Giannis/Kawhi joins us in 2021 then it is unlikely to happen in his rookie deal.
Yeah, Wade counts, and maybe Shaq with Orlando (I can't remember much about that team, sorry).
Kawhi and Kobe don't count, because they were brought into teams already good as a result of being years into being built around other great players. Their teams just lucky and added generational talents without having to start from scratch. You can put Tim Duncan on that list, too.
