80's lakers didn't draft all those players. kobe didn't even get drafted by the lakers. He won chips because of FA with Shaq, Gasol, and others. teams made moves to get the players they wanted and it happened to work in a some of cases.

the rabbit has the gun now. FA wasn't always as flexible for the players. it's a new day. ain't nobody waiting a bunch of years to wait o when they can try winning now by going somewhere else. it may have worked for GS, but didn't do much for Philly, Portland, or most other teams.

super teams have always existed. it was just matter of who put them together. the bulls had 3 of the top 50 players ever. one of them wasn't drafted by the bulls. kareem wasn't drafted by the lakers.
