And don’t forget, this past offseason, the Warriors lost a $30 million chunk of salary when they jettisoned Chris Paul strictly for luxury tax avoidance. The NBA owners wanted a system that brought big-market, big-spending teams like the Warriors to heel, and they received it.

Curry has had an insane amount of success in a Warriors uniform ever since they drafted him seventh overall in 2009. The two-time NBA MVP and ten-time All-Star has led the Warriors to four championships, putting himself in the conversation for the best point guard in league history.

Don't blame the player and the team that did it right. Blame the less-efficient copycats, who surely will find a new thing to copy soon.
