    OKC is one of the reasons....had George been traded to Portland, we'd be them...competing for the west....difference is the one year rental...and Westbrook wanting to be a Laker according to rumors....George and Westbrook may both leave next year....we have young guys under contract and not so many vital one year deals...Nurk would be our first big deal of next offseason

    The trade deadline hopefully some guys raise their trade value quite a bit....this summer we'd be selling low across the board if it's not CJ Nurk or Dame

    lol. I find it funny that the people wanting a short sighted move to win now in a time where we will never win the 'ship without injuries to GSW, are mad that we didn't make said moves because later on down the road -- when we COULD win the championship -- Lillard may be gone or too old. News flash: We are only going to win 3-4 years from now as a beginning point. And Lillard will be here. It'll be okay. Breathe.

    Damn why does all the teams in our division have to get better? Its going to be a fight for the division. The Twolves, the Thunder...well i guess if Hayward leaves the Jazz are screwed but even if he stays the Jazz might not be a whole lot better. I think Hill is better than Rubio. Denver still sucks so there is that. Watch them trade for Carmelo.

    Whiteside is recruiting Hayward to the Heat apparently. The Celtics confidence in landing him also seem exaggerated from reports.

    If it make you feel better the division standings are irrelevant. I don't even look at them. Conference standings are the only thing that matters.

    They are irrelevant but if you are 3rd in your Division, likely you aren't doing too well in the Conference when GS and SA aren't in your Division.

    It's hard to imagine how teams are going to be able to keep this up if one player takes that much of your cap room
