That's not how that Flames team or the Oilers team was built.
The NBA problem is that coupled with that you basically also have to be a destination where a couple stars agree to go together to win.

Neither the Rockets nor the Warriors burned it down to nothing to get to be this good. Not the Spurs. Cavs. Heat. Celtics. Hell in hockey teams out of the playoffs hold fire sales every year at the trade deadline.
Basketball is a game where one or two great players make all the difference. You can’t change that about the game. Bird, Magic, Jordan were all drafted by their team. Was it better to have champions determined in the draft?
Not everyone is a big basketball fan and so it’s easy to find fault with the game but I believe the NBA is as interesting as it has ever been.
