You mean the team with the Greek Freak, the player who will bolt very soon? Also, the team that has won nothing? Or Portland, another fun team that has won exactly nothing? You make the argument. None of those top 10 players will willingly go to those markets. If you aren't in LA or NY, or secondarily in another of a few markets, you're screwed long term. There is a second way to temporarily make it work, which is the way it should always work. Build through the draft the way the Warriors did before they snaked KD. In a small market you can temporarily build success that way, but you will never be more than a talent-development house for LA and NY teams. Milwaukee is one of those outliers, but success there will continue to be unfinished and temporary.
