For champions of the superteam model of roster-building in the NBA, 2024 has not been a year to remember.
This season has seen the Philadelphia 76ers trade guard James Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers after a protracted power struggle, while the Phoenix Suns have barely put their trio of stars on the court together amid a 15–15 start.
