Adrian Wojnarowski said league executives, agents and players are wondering if we're currently seeing the end of the superteam in which three superstars join forces to compete for titles. The model was perhaps first launched in this era by the Boston Celtics in 2007 with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joining Paul Pierce, but it evolved to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to collective choose the Miami Heat in 2010.

It culminated in Kevin Durant joining Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala with the Golden State Warriors in free agency in 2016. Curry and Durant each sacrificed on an individual level for the good of the team. Durant has been linked all season with going to the New York Knicks and a pursuit of a more individualistic challenge. Kawhi Leonard has also proved capable of leading a very good team but without any other superstars to The Finals.

"Does the superteam dilute the individual star?" posits Wojnarowski. "Is that what players want anymore to have to play a subordinate role in a bigger group? Lose out on the ability to win MVPs."

Wojnarowski continued to suggest that this development is happening to the delight of Adam Silver.

"Will we see the league trending back to one-star, two-star teams with a more prominent role. Perhaps the talent is more spread out around the NBA. Certainly that's the wish of Adam Silver who wants parity, who wants star players in smaller markets to keep teams profitable.

"We may start to see a shift in that landscape we head into July."
