Meiji: The Big Three model is not suitable for today’s league, but the Thunder are an exception

October 21 News Recently, American reporter Jason Timpf talked about the team building model of the Big Three in the podcast ALLNBAPodcast.

"In today's NBA, there are many ways to build teams. Some teams tend to form two-star lineups, with two superstars playing side by side; while other successful teams rely on a single superstar plus deep bench depth. Which method is more appropriate under the new collective bargaining agreement? What will be the trend in the future? Taking the Thunder as an example, they have three star players. No matter which way the team chooses to build the lineup - whether it is a single core and a bench, or a two-star or three giants - they need to ensure that they can meet various needs on both offense and defense. Players who can make quick decisions in four-on-three offense and defense transitions; on the defensive end, players who can mark the ball carrier, protect the frame and help defend are needed. As long as these conditions are met, the team can develop in any direction. I think the Big Three are outdated. If you spend $100 million in cap space on three players with similar functions, it's likely to lead to failure. Most teams would have a hard time building a cohesive roster around three max or near-max contracts. The Thunder are an exception, however, as they have a lot of draft capital and young players.
