their firsts turn into nothing, they have no more assets til all the contracts expire. it serves them right to get every single cent taxed super high to assemble a team like that.
the current state of the nba is weird. these proposed mega teams with players joining forces, teams tanking/clearing cap space. this isn't the same as watching same player you love, i.e. dirk, stay on your team til they retire.

Agree that it took away a lot of enjoyment to see superteams. I don't watch the NBA to watch the allstar game. I watch to see well-coached players work together.
Still, I see why bad teams tank and take picks from teams trying to get picks-- often there is a minimum salary obligation involved and they can scrape picks and young talent for absorbing a player for a year. Both super-teams and tanking teams are bad for the NBA, but it's understandable for the individual teams involved. Before the era of the superteam, there were about 20 stars, sprinkled throughout 29-30 teams so almost every team had at least one guy to watch. Now the good teams have all the talent and there are 10+ teams without any sort of player worth watching unless you like watching college guys develop.
