The Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast returns with an episode on teams that added a big star (or more) but severely underperformed.

Two examples this year with the Brooklyn Nets being swept in the first round after gaining (and losing) James Harden (and never getting Ben Simmons to replace him) and the Los Angeles Lakers winning only 33 games after adding Russell Westbrook.

Teams we'll focus on this episode: 
1971 Atlanta Hawks
1999 Houston Rockets
1975 Memphis Sounds
2013 Los Angeles Lakers
1976 Washington Bullets
2014 Brooklyn Nets
1976 & 1977 New York Knicks
