First and foremost, I would like to thank my family for encouraging me to do this in the first place and for picking me up whenever I was down on myself. I never would have been able to do anything (let alone write this book) without you.
Thanks to all my college friends for still being friends with me despite me being a trolly dumbass for most of our exploits. Shout-out to Hansen for reading my stuff even before there was a confirmation that the thing would get published. Shout-out to Dante for reading chapters and giving me feedback within an hour every single time. Also, shout-out to the Michigan Street 8 for boolin with me through the good and the bad (I love you all so fuckin much).
Shout-out to David OKeefe and his family for being probably the most enthusiastic people during the preorder campaign. Your energy and mass-spread of my posts helped in more ways than just monetary.
Shout-out to Liam McMahon for always answering my absurd sports texts and being supportive of my career aspirations from the very start. Also, for never hesitating to let me know when I am being a little muchI need that sometimes.
Shout-out to the Adams family, the Bolichs, the Lockharts, the Baudhuins, the Murphys, and Alysa Schulte for just POURING money into my preorder campaign. You guys accounted for a sixth of the donations alone, and that is crazy. Thank you for believing in me enough to pay one hundred dollars plus for a couple paperback books (and perks).
I would love to give a massive shout-out to New Degree Press, Brian Bies, Linda Berardelli, and anyone else who put up with my antics and is actually allowing me to publish a book. Shout-out especially to Eric Koester; I likely never would have written a book in my life had you not messaged me on LinkedIn in August of 2019. Thank you so much for what you do in this class and your pure intentions behind it.
Lastly, I would like to thank anyone and everyone that contributed to the completion of this book; you guys are my faves:

Building a championship team usually cant be rushed, and building a dynasty requires otherworldly patience. There have been only four National Basketball Association (NBA) teams to win three or more championships in a row, and the last time it happened was nearly two decades ago. What does it take to not only achieve success, but maintain it?
Sometimes all it takes is one generational player like LeBron James. While it may not take as much to win a championship with him, the teams around him have had quick expiration dates. Teams like the 80s Bulls, the early 2000s Lakers, and the late 2010s Golden State Warriors (the most recent dynasty) achieved that championship success and maintained it for several years. Most people will point to the fact that those teams had Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Stephen Curry as the reason for this extended success. The truth is that they are a huge part of that success, but they are not the full reason. Those teams had brilliant front offices that made hard decisions to build the perfect teams around those respective superstars.
On May 11, 2010, Mikhail Prokhorov became the majority owner of the New Jersey Nets. With a new owner came new expectations. He wanted to contend for a title immediately and would pay any price to get there. In that spirit, the Nets made three massive trades over the span of a couple years. On February 11, 2011, the Nets traded for star point guard Deron Williams. In return, they sent the Utah Jazz:
Power forward Derrick Favors and point guard Devin Harris
An unprotected 2011 first-round pick and a 2013 unprotected first-round pick
The team did not make the playoffs that following season or the season after. In 2012, the team moved back to New York and became the Brooklyn Nets.
Exposition Time!
The Nets were originally the New Jersey Americans in the American Basketball Association (ABA), then moved and became the New York Nets from 1968 to 1976, returned to New Jersey when they merged with the NBA and became the New Jersey Nets until 2012.
With a new city, new fans, and a new arena, there was even more pressure to contend quickly. The Nets made another trade to relieve the pressure. On July 11, 2012, the Nets traded to the Atlanta Hawks in return for star forward Joe Johnson:
Point guard Jordan Farmar, shooting guard Anthony Morrow, forward DeShawn Stevenson, and centers Jordan Williams and Johan Petro
An unprotected 2013 first-round pick and an unprotected 2017 second-round pick
The team made the playoffs for the first time in five seasons. They lost to the Chicago Bulls in seven games. Prokhorov and the front office were not satisfied. They made one more Godfather trade in an attempt to buy a championship and possibly a dynasty. They traded:
