You have poor memory how the Celtics got Garnett and Allen. Neither guy requested a trade. Both players were on teams going nowhere. KG gave everything to Minny and Allen wasn’t going to be part of a youth movement in Seattle. Ainge worked deals to bring them in.
Warriors drafted well to put together their team. Durant was an unrestricted free agent who could sign with any team in league. What team wouldn’t want to add him?
Those “big 3” put together without holding a team hostage like Davis and Rich Paul did to New Orleans.
What team wouldn’t want to have the best players on it? People acting like “super teams” are a bad thing. There is more talent in nba than ever before. If you are an elite player do you really want to waste your prime playing with stiffs or other great players?
Do I think the way Davis went about getting to La was a bad look? Absolutely. He had a contract to honor and his actions cost people their jobs.
