    yeah, the owners may get a lot more serious about a "hard cap"

    There is a BS theory that PA is wanting to move the Blazers to Seattle but what he really should do is this. He needs to try and get the Blazers moved to the Eastern Conf and then at least the Blazers MIGHT have a chance problem with that is the rest of the west is wanting to do the same thing. - LOL

    It's going to be fun watching Westbrook turn into Rondo 2.0.

    Is there any chance that every GM tells GSW fuck off and nobody takes bogut?

    OKC loses 3-1 lead in WCF, then loses Durant. Worst 6-week stretch for any franchise ever?

    Harkless and his D just became way more valuable to the Blazers vs the Warriors so let Crabbe walk and make sure you re-sign Hark - ASAP

    Smart move by GS...so much for Lamarcus getting a ring in San Antonio...we need to raise the bar on defense now for sure..trying to defend Curry, Green, Thompson and Durant is just unfair....hell of a challenge going forward...just bank on our youth and future...really glad we didn't get a win now old guy on a toxic salary now...Neil is probably probably going through his list of players no one has ever heard of now...the next CJ McCollum from Europe, the D league or undrafted.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Damn, this is stunning. I thought it was near certain Durant would sign the one-and-one in Oklahoma City. More money, one more shot with his bud, Westbrook. Especially with how their team came together in the playoffs, I thought he'd want to give that one more look.

    But I can see the draw to Golden State. They play a really pretty team game that has to appeal to a basketball junkie like Durant. Durant even fits in really well to their defensive scheme as, in the playoffs, he was a holy terror with his gigantic wingspan. A dialed-in Durant just enhances Golden State's switch-everything defense as he can switch 1-5 and even provide rim protection with his huge reach and leaping ability.

    And, lastly, they can rest stars more. They can give Curry, Green, Thompson and Durant plenty of rest and always have 2-3 of them on the court at all times. It'll be fascinating to see their new "super death" lineup: Curry/Thompson/Iguodala/Durant/Green.

    It sucks as a fan of the Trail Blazers, but it's really going to be cool as a fan of basketball.

    Make it hurt then. Really take a pound of flesh to make it happen. Think longterm, like 3-4 years out in terms of picks and compensation. This is an opportunity for some savvy team.
