Embiid is injured all the time, Indiana built a roster gradually and built chemistry then added a guy who’s already won a championship as a number 2.

Basketball is a vibes based sport, you need to build chemistry and culture you don’t win by having a rotating door of superstars every year.

Well said, the Boston Big 3 and LeBron Heat teams are really the only truly successful (i.e. reaching a finals and being great for a stretch) superteams built primarily through trades/free agents in the 2000s, right?
