Hall of Famer
What if you never get that star? Watching a team tank year after year can get tiresome. I'd prefer a team compete because I actually like watching my team win. Teams rarely go from bottom dweller to contenders in a season. You take steps. Get to the playoffs first, draw some talented free agents who want to join a winning team, and build chemistry.
If we never get another star again in our lifetimes, then so be it. I know my view is a bit different on this and I don't doubt you need to take baby steps in order to build a winning culture, chemistry & slowly put together a contender. The question now remains, would you like to be the Atlanta Hawks of the West and make the playoffs year after year without much to show for? Yeah it's fun watching playoff basketball, especially if your team is in it. The end game here should be a cornerstone to build around, that is the hardest thing to attain.
