I get people want the Sonics back but I'm in the minority of being opposed to expansion. There are enough bad teams already and not enough talent to go around. Every team has between like one and four guys who shouldn't be in the league, now you're going to add another 30? There's already a huge lack of depth in the league. I don't think it's going to ruin the league or anything but you're literally lowering the talent threshold.
What we need is contraction! (jk lol)
Everything the league has tried to do to stop super teams has failed pretty easily. And even if it's not super-teams, you'll still have max guys forcing trades. Again, I don't think it's going to ruin the league or anything, but it will certainly lessen the quality. The talent disparity between the top teams and the bottom teams seems to grow every year. Feels like 90% of teams are an injured starter away from their season going down the drain. There's already a depth issue, you're just adding a bunch of guys who literally weren't good enough to be in the league into the league. There's no positive spin to that lol.
