    Now if Lopez could step his game up, I'm sure free agents would be interested in teaming up with him and Deron.

    Nets went from Andre Miller to Deron Williams. Awesome.

    Blazers should have beaten Utah to the punch and offered Deron Williams to NJ before Utah did. Heck we could have had Harris AND Favors

    Do you really think that was our strategy at the beginning of the year? Really? You think this season has gone according to plan?

    So the Blazers should have offered Deron Williams to New Jersey. I don't believe I've ever seen that tactic employed before.

    To be honest, in the AM situation you were to keep Favors. Sure looks like a good thing now - but if he harnesses his talent in years to come - this might come to bite you in the rear.

    Lopez is doing backflips. He will be fed like a goose bred for foie gras. I would actually prefer Williams to Paul if I had to choose. Deron is amazing.

    The west's talent keeps on getting diluted.

    Maybe we can hold onto 5th place now and play OKC in the playoffs. They have no answer to LAMONSTER! Although we have no answer to Westbrook/KD either...

    Oh ok that makes sense. I thought you meant it hurt us since Utah got stronger, haha.

    Have you ever seen a 6 on 5 play as Nate employed against the Celtics. Thinking outside of the box is what separates the innovators from the also-ran!

    And it's about fucking time. It's been 20 years of running the gauntlet in the West while the East always had only a couple of elite teams. The first round in the East is a joke.

    So Deron is going to kill him when he is fat enough?

    Now, let's see the Lakers get Chris Paul for Blake, Fisher, and Luke Walton, and call it a day!

    BTW, how fucked up must the situation in Utah be to lose their HOF coach and All NBA PG in a period of two weeks?

    Think of the top tier PFs. I bet you can name at least 8-10. Not think of the top tier PGs. It's a short list with Williams sharing the summit.
