The teams you mention went a different route than we did building our roster of (imo tired) Veterans. They knew what they had in a team and what they needed to add to the roster. The philosophy of the teams really didn't change. The Heat and Lakers both relyed on the star power of Shaq and a stellar guard. Not to mention we picked up the some of the veteran players from some of these championship teams who have shown how effective they are with out the Super Star talents they played with. We're adding players like the Redskins and Blazers tried in years past. Breaking the bank and taking too many risks vs building more of a solid foundation of a team and then adding a few additional pieces. The only team you mentioned who made a Dallas Mavs like Bag or Bust move was the Heat and it was for a highly motivated Shaq.
