Have you heard? The NBA is broken. The Wall Street Journal said so last week.
Blame the Warriors. They have won three championships in the past four seasons (and you could argue they should have won the one that got away). They have posted a record winning percentage in a single regular season and in a single postseason. They have sent four representatives to the past two All-Star games.
They signed Kevin Durant when other teams needed him more. When it looked as if they would have trouble cobbling together a supporting cast for Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Durant for the 2018-19 season, they signed center DeMarcus Cousins.
