fun exercise. I'll link the article for the arguments but whittle it down to the conclusions here:

https://theringer.com/whose-nba-team-is-this-anyway-part-1-1c55670f4fb5#.fsuqq8x1s

(eligible parties: "We’re looking at players, coaches, and GMs only. If we extend the list to owners, the answer to “whose team is it” would always be the owner.")

(positions my own addition)


Celtics: Brad Stevens (Coach)
NY Knicks: Kristaps Porzingis (PF)
Raptors: Kyle Lowry (PG)
BK Nets: Sean Marks (GM)
76ers: Joel Embiid (basketball player)

Pacers: Larry Bird (demi-god)
MIL Bucks: Giannis (basketball player)
Bulls: Jimmy Butler (SF)
Cavaliers: LeBron James (basketball player)
Pistons Stan Van Gundy (quotable speaker)

Heat: Pat Riley (God walking among us)
Hawks: Mike Budenholzer (The guy that does the things Popovich does)
Wizards: John Wall (PG)
Hornets: Kemba Walker (PG, ish)
Magic: Somebody, maybe Ibaka (basketball player?)
