ESPN analyzes why it is so difficult to build a dynasty team? The Thunder Clippers 76ers failed

For a team to go against the trend and become a potential dynasty, it is difficult enough to not only collect talents, but the team also needs to avoid negative or overpriced contracts. The system prioritizes flexibility more than ever. It hurts teams that don’t often focus on maintaining it and punishes those that sacrifice it to push the championship battle.

"You have to be right in every decision," said a Western Conference scout. "Now, you have to look at things with a three-year window, not a one-year window. You really can't mess up anything. It puts pressure on the organization to think differently and wisely to make sure you have the ability to make the right decision.

The Clippers' Championship period is gone because the injury of Paul George and Jr.

Last summer, the Los Angeles Clippers did not renew Paul George, making him a signing since five years ago. The first All-Star player to switch to a team as an unrestricted free agent since Kawhi Leonard. George signed a four-year, $212 million maximum salary contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. Although the Clippers questioned the move at the time, they focused on flexibility rather than retaining a talented but elderly star. The deal was just over a year before the Clippers finished a The 50-win season has added several great veterans this summer and can restructure their roster in the summer of 2027. The

6ers' acquisition of Paul George is their most failed operation ever

Meanwhile, the 76ers have only got a mid-range performance from George in 41 games—he underwent another knee surgery this offseason—and is also dealing with uncertainty about another maximum-paid player, center Joel Embiid. This puts their chances of becoming a champion threat in serious doubt, thanks to more than 1 in investments in both players each season $100 million.

"I think the imitation nature of the league will try to make the team focus more on depth, balance and the 'next person' mindset," said an Eastern Conference scout. "From this perspective, it makes sense, especially in this environment with a luxury tax hat...it's too hard. For obvious reasons, the entire "Big Three" thing is difficult to achieve.

"It takes up a large portion of your salary under these restrictions, and it's really hard to build a great team when you get close to the luxury tax line."

Eastern teams compete with each other

New York Knicks have created a starting five of Jaylen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunobi and Carl Anthony Towns with a 740 million salary through free agency markets, deals and some savvy renewal negotiations! This should allow them to be able to serve as competitors for several consecutive years while still remaining under the second luxury tax. The Cavaliers hope that their core fours, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Dalius Garland and Jarrett Allen – all under 30 – can be together.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic went all out and got Desmond Bain from the Grizzlies this summer, hoping to create a four-man team of Bain, Paul Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jaylen Sages.

"Our goal is not to win the Eastern Conference championship. The goal is to win the championship," Magic president Jeff Weltman said after the Bain trade. "The first step to doing this is to push our team forward and get ourselves involved in the conversation. I think we are a factor right now. It's also a tougher Thunder to be a dynasty team

No team can handle the league's financial situation better than the defending champion Thunder. Oklahoma City signed a massive eight-size signing with three stars -- Shea Gilgers-Alexander, Jay Williams and Chet Homegren -- this summer 20 million contract extensions. But the Thunder also surrounded them with veterans who signed reasonable contracts and players who signed rookie contracts, combined with more draft picks in the coming years, will allow the Thunder to avoid luxury taxes by the end of the century.
