It’s official: the 2021 NBA Finals will be played between the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks. Both are teams who did it the right way– mostly through the draft and trades. Some big-ish free agents were signed, but both teams were honest about how they built conference champions, which should give the Detroit Pistons hope that it can happen in the Motor City.
While the Bucks and Suns were rebuilding, the Detroit Pistons were floundering. Drafting the likes of Luke Kennard, Stanley Johnson, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is not how you build a championship.
