Warriors - didn't make the playoffs
Clippers - Currently tied 2-2 in the first round
Suns - swept in the 1st round
Boston - positioned to make a deep run
Bucks - down 3-1 in the first round
Denver - Positioned for a deep run
Heat - Down 3-1 in the first round
It's possible that only 2 of the 7 teams make it past the first round.
Even after that lots of high spenders aren't thriving
The failures overpaid and over relied on expensive old guys. Whereas the only 30+ players that Boston and Denver depend on are Jrue (33) and KCP (30), unless you say that Boston depends on Horford, but I dunno about that ... he was 7th on the team in minutes played.
