Blame the "All about Rings" crowd.

And...Im talking about GM's making job securing decisions.   If you are Golden State GM you dont add KD because its not about winning...its about parity in the League right?

Hopefully all these guys turn to having Dame's attitude.   If anything it makes the playoff games(games when teams are trying) more fun because the there arent lop-sided scores due to a team being top heavy on talent.

I agree with you. These GM's would be fired on the spot if they didn't sign a player of KD's caliber if he wants to come. A GM's goal isn't parity, in fact its the opposite. He wants his team to beat everyone else's all the time. But thats not the case with what happened with Lebron. It wasn't the GM choosing Lebron but the other way around. Lebron manifested his destiny.

The league as a whole (adam Silver) should want to create a system that makes the most parity so EVERYONE has a chance. That keeps engagement from a fan perspective. 

Lebron usurped the status quo. He bucked all the traditionality of the player/team relationship, and he made it so that there was absolutely NO parity in his conference and created on paper the best team in the league overnight.

Again, it's hard to fault Lebron because on paper he made the most logical choice. In fact he's a genius because he became probably the most powerful player the league has ever seen. But in doing so he's tainted his legacy. At least in my eyes and I'm sure many others.
