For decades, the concept of a big three as the core of an NBA team has been a defining characteristic of the league.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green with the Golden State Warriors. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh with the Miami Heat. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen with the Boston Celtics. Not every team is going to have that level of talent. But no matter the roster composition, taking stock of a team's top three building blocks is an indicator of franchise health -- both now and into the future.
