If there had to be one team to miss out, you would not have predicted it to be the one with an offense headlined by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
But you can have the best backcourt in the world and still suffer defeat after defeat if your defence ranks as one of the lowest in the league.
Although the pair have excelled individually since that trade was made to bring Irving to Dallas, Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith - who joined the Brooklyn Nets as part of that deal - are in a much better position than Irving.
