    You're probably right. Actually, the biggest loser is probably this guy:

    They gave them special treatment last year.

    How exactly will they stop doing that when they get a top 5 player?

    Doubt that will be much of a problem. I could see the Warriors upping their average team score to 135 ppg with that lineup. Plenty of points to go around.

    The Mavs offseason is hilariously bad.

    Max Barnes.

    Potentially trade for an aging/injured Bogut.

    Welcome to the 8th seed Dallas!

    thread already tl;dr, but....

    1) I'm happy about this. Yes, I dislike OKC/Bennett that much.

    2) Bogut or other castoffs?

    3) No one should be surprised, so outraged is a little strange This type of thing is the logical conclusion of the salary cap going up so much, so quickly.

    4) A little surprised he picked GS, Boston was more logical from a team composition POV, but I understand wanting to play with the team with the best record in history.

    5) This backs up my notion that great players biggest concern is legacy.

    If Oklahoma was smart they would trade Westbrook before he leaves next summer too and tank, but they're not smart.

    Woj says Duncan is leaning towards retirement. Probably because of this.

    I see this as a golden opportunity for some team to take them over the coals.

    Is it wrong to hope for an earthquake in the Bay area next fall?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    While they'll start all four, they'll probably stagger minutes a lot so that all four aren't playing together all game long. Outside of enhanced death lineup minutes, they'll probably aim for keeping three out of Green/Durant/Curry/Thompson on the floor at all times.

    Sounds like Dallas is in the lead on the Bogut "sweepstakes", but nice job with the snark.
