f you gut the mavs and twolves team and redistribute some of those players to the hawks and hornets, they would instantly be better teams

The Hawks and the Hornets suck because of bad management...not because of any system.

i can understand a team having one "star"..but when you have 3 or 4 guys with max contracts just because your owner can afford the luxury tax, then it starts to get out of hand.

The Knicks have the leagues highest payroll and they're mediocre at best. We're 2nd, but that only places up among a group of teams trying to catch the Spurs (23rd highest payroll in the league). Minny, who you mentioned, is fighting to say in the playoff race at this point. As you can see, a high payroll doesn't guarantee playoff success...just ask Paul Allen.

Simply not true...the current cap prevents it. For instance, the Spurs can’t just go out and sign Ray Allen this offseason. Even if they had the cap room, they’d still have to convince him to take less money and to my recollection, that’s yet to happen with a big time FA. In order to sign a top tier player, you pretty much have to trade for him.
