When LeMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin signed buyout deals, there was an uproar on NBA Twitter about the Nets — who already have Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving — forming an unfair NBA superteam. The on-court reality is that Aldridge and Griffin are nowhere near their All-NBA peaks and will be role-players — maybe limited ones, at that — when games get serious in the postseason for the Nets. Griffin even joked about everyone saying he was washed until he landed with Brooklyn, then suddenly it was not fair they landed him.
