DeKALB — Barring any major upset, the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be headed for their third consecutive meeting in the NBA Finals in large part to the super teams they have assembled.

The Warriors are led by four All-Stars, two of whom are the most recent league MVP’s, Kevin Durant and, reigning two-time MVP, Stephen Curry. Alongside those players are sharpshooter and lockdown defender Klay Thompson and all-around big man Draymond Green.

The Cavaliers are led by “The King,” LeBron James, along with All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. They recently added to their depth chart by signing former All-Star Deron Williams and sharpshooter Kyle Korver, who won a title with the Warriors in 2015.

With these two franchises being the past two NBA champions, the NBA appears to be in the worst state it has ever been in.

The league has a lot of talent, but one issue is that a lot of the talent comes from two ball clubs. Of the 25 All-Stars in this season’s All-Star game, 28 percent came from these two teams.

One reason that super teams are becoming a problem is because they’re making the talent around the league want to join the powerhouse teams in the league such as Cleveland or Golden State. Take Kevin Durant as an example. After making it to the Western Conference Finals last season as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, he left them to join the team that defeated them in seven games.

Durant joining the Warriors makes the team better than the 73-9 ball club they were a year ago without him. That one move changed the Thunder from a title-contending team to a lower-level playoff team in the blink of an eye.

Stephen A. Smith, co-host of ESPN “First Take,” voiced his disapproval of the move shortly after Durant’s signing.

“I’m viewing this as the weakest move I’ve ever seen from a superstar,” Smith said.

There is a real problem developing here. With so much talent on one or two teams, it is hard to envision other teams being able to keep up with them in a seven-game series in the playoffs. Jimmy Butler is the only All-Star this season to go along with an aging Dwyane Wade, while the rest of the team is littered with young guys such as Denzel Valentine, Jerian Grant and Bobby Portis.

The NBA has implemented a new collective bargaining agreement that focuses on helping teams keep their players. Players will receive a substantially larger contract from the team they were on as opposed to signing elsewhere, but if players want to focus on winning, a million or two less dollars wouldn’t be much of an issue.

Super teams have led to an entertaining championship series the past two seasons, but they have also led to a far less entertaining regular season without much standing in the way of the same two teams meeting in the finals.

If the NBA wants to be more competitive, they have to do something about the formation of super teams, or the same two teams will be meeting in the finals for years to come.
