This kind of roster churn for good teams is normal in the NFL, where there are 22 starters (not including special teams), but it didn’t used to be in the NBA.
The Golden State Warriors had the rare chance to add Kevin Durant after a successful run, but then kept the five most-important players on the team (Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Durant) for three straight Finals runs. They also had Shaun Livingston and Kevon Looney in all three seasons.
Modern teams won’t have the luxury of keeping teams with several expensive veterans together. The Boston Celtics are the perfect example of a team that would’ve likely kept its title core together for a few more years in prior eras but now have to make some tough decisions.
