Lakers traded for Gasol but had drafted players on the roster. Also traded for Davis with a bunch of good young players.

Look at thr standings those big market teams suck.

Plus the NBA is a small roster you really can't do that in the NHL.
You're forgetting that the only reason Golden State was able to retain its star players was because it's a large market.

If Curry, Thompson and Green were drafted by OKC or other small market teams, they'd be long gone.
