I also remember Charles Barkley joining the Suns, then the Rockets. All were looking for rings. They failed.

I find the whole thing pretty humorous. If the same players were on the Celtics or Lakers, they would be heralded as a 'dynasty'. Most of the horror seems to be of the 'how dare the mere warriors build a superteam!' type.
