Super teams don’t always guarantee success, and some franchises have learned difficult ways. Betway The following four super teams did not fully respond to their claims.
Houston Rockets 1998-99
Rockets wanted more from the time with “The Dream” at dusk in his career, so he pouched Pippen from the Bulls. Hungry superstar Charles Barkley, who was looking for an elusive title to take his already inducted career to a higher level, was added to the mix, but this version of the rocket is very lively. , Not comparable to the ambitious and motivated, and the much younger Lakers, led by the rising Kobe and the dominant Shaquille O’Neal.
Los Angeles Lakers 2003-04
The Lakers had the biggest one-on-two punches in the game, but the two men seemed unable to manage or clean up their ego for long enough. Kobe and Shaquille O’Neal needed more presence to calm them down. At least when Pau Gasol added Gary Payton and Karl Malone, who are already on the team, the franchise thought about it. The Lakers were raining on the All-Stars, but that season alone, the injury became the word for the team’s poster, and when they lost to the Detroit Pistons in the final, O’Neill moved to a straw that broke the camel’s back. Will be the off-season Miami Heat.
Los Angeles Lakers 2012-13
After O’Neill left, the Lakers were a team inspired by Kobe Bryant. Half of Kobe was better than half of the league anymore, and all he needed was the right cast, especially a player who was comparable to his strength but couldn’t challenge his authority. The front office, alongside NBA’s biggest name at the time, Dwight Howard, has added a smarter yet much older Steve Nash to the team. Howard wanted a ring, but he didn’t have the attitude that Kobe would be the winner, and when Bryant collapsed due to an Achilles tendon injury, the team struggled to find leadership and fire as known in Kobe. .. The team does not have the expected impact, it is for high hopes.
Oklahoma City Thunder 2017-18
Russell Westbrook put together one of the most entertaining MVP runs in NBA history, averaging triple-doubles, but all the sparks that were in Thunder after Durant left. The team was in danger of being retrofitted quickly, which was unacceptable around Westbrook. Thunder’s front office worked hard before the start of the 2017 season, winning Paul George from the Pacers and becoming one of Carmelo Anthony’s top scorers in the league. But Anthony has passed his prime minister and George is not the most consistent and best. That’s the end of the Super Team’s hopes, as the OKC team was outplayed in the first round of the playoffs and Anthony was traded to the Atlanta Hawks after the decline of the season.
