But with that being said, Rob Pelinka is going to have to come to understand that the concept of a "big three" is now a bit outdated in the NBA. But as tempting as this would be to do, it would ultimately be a misguided approach. As we know, the reality of the way the NBA is set up today is that teams win primarily with depth and versatility rather than with star trios. Teams like that with heavy star power at the top are increasingly harder to put together, and they end up being far less sustainable. Those teams won their titles through constructing a roster built deep with talent that perfectly played into how they wanted to win as a team.
