    Nice. I was worried about either Durant or Oden joining the Celtics.

    I'm with you, Imagine That the sixers and Celtis went 1 -2. I'm just glad they are both in the west.

    Can you imagine how dominant Oden and Jefferson would have been? On one hand I was intrigued by having them potentially matchup against Bargnani and Bosh, but on the other hand that would've been a scary duo.

    I think, Bargs might win that one, becuase he would of streched Oden out so bosh can take jefferson, I would love to see Bosh on Oden. Bosh is great at explotitng rooks, I think he could of owned Oden. But I was thinking the same thing, That would be a great match-up.

    I mean I'm happy for the Raptors in this, but the West getting stronger isn't neccesarily a good thing for the East.

    Maybe. But I would much rather have Durant and Oden going to the west that have the opportunity for some powerhouse team to be built around them in the east.

    Yea, I don't know, I'm getting kind of tired of watching a crappy Eastern Conference. This lottery is going to set it back a few more years.

    But Atalanta can still get a good player, Not a Oden or Durant player, but a good one non the less.

    At least Dwight, Shaq and Jermaine are in the East. Too bad that Jermaine seems to be in a similar situation as KG is in the West.

    I think if Yao and Oden went East it could even the tables.

    It might, to see Bosh and Oden would sell some tickets.

    The East still has some good big men that aren't too old in Dwight, Emeka, Bosh, Jefferson, and Jermaine O'Neal.

    Also, Pau Gasol or Kevin Garnett could be headed to the East this offseason (since the Bulls have been linked to both).

    Plus, the East has more teams that have youth. The Hawks, Bulls, Raptors, Magic, and Bobcats are all teams with a lot of youth that could be scary in several years once all of their players hit their primes. Not to mention LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are they type of players who can lead a team far in the playoffs with little help.

    Yea, it is true, but in the long run, I know the east will be better, becuase most of the guys you have mentioned have won or are close to winning a title.
