NBA's Super Team Trend: Phoenix, Boston, Milwaukee aim for championship glory
Posted : 21 October 2023
The NBA is in the midst of an evolution characterized by the formation of "horror quintets" or super teams, with the success of such teams like Golden State and Denver driving the trend. Three teams, Phoenix, Boston, and Milwaukee, have made aggressive moves this season, sacrificing their future prospects to build Super Teams. Each of these teams has set their sights on winning championships in the next two years, and the season's success hinges on obtaining an NBA championship ring.
Phoenix's transformation began with the acquisition of Matt Ishbia, who took over the team and made significant moves, such as bringing in Kevin Durant to join Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and DeAndre Ayton. The team has prioritized offensive firepower and speedy play, with stars like Durant and Booker leading the charge. Boston, on the other hand, addressed its issues of game management and shooting options. The team traded Marcus Smart to bring in Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, who adds a focus on connecting the team.
Milwaukee, featuring a powerful combination of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, presents a formidable lineup with championship aspirations. Lillard's arrival, coupled with the coaching change, has Milwaukee looking to bolster their chances of securing an NBA title. The bench strength also favors Milwaukee with players like Pat Connaughton, Bobby Portis, Cameron Payne, and Jay Crowder.
While this trend has led to the creation of powerful Super Teams, it's worth noting that Denver has already achieved championship success through a more measured approach. Furthermore, the transition of star players like Damian Lillard from Portland to these Super Teams has reshaped the league and led to significant changes and opportunities for other teams.
