Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4013760, member: 1026"] Much has been said & written about the last inch of Durant's sneaker that was on the 3pt line. Given that game of inches moment I think it is only safe to say that Milwaukee merely proves it is POSSIBLE to win with a team built internally. And in the long-haul of the NBA or any given playoff series the team with the best player in the series usually wins. This was essentially Sam Hinkie's the process point, increase your odds of having that best player with multiple bites at the very top of the draft. But you HAVE to draft well and build well (no and no under Hinkie). So I'd say Milwaukee's championship has minor if any implications to the superteam concept, but it does prove that drafting very well and finding a diamond is still possible anywhere in the draft. Yes Giannis is a once a decade ascendant story, but that can happen AND their second best player was a second round pick. Draft well and cultivate your best young players is the lesson. And this does set up for an epic battle for the east with the Nets next year. Bucks return essentially all of their guys (I think PJ Tucker only one not under contract) who got a LOT of great reps and experience and get their starting 5 back with DiVencizo. The battle of organically grown drafted team vs $uperteam is ON for next season. [/QUOTE]
