Honestly relieved that OKC got out from under that Dipo contract. Paul George for a year is a good side bonus.

Yeah same. I really didn't think he was gonna work out.

I got a taste for blown saves
It'll be fun when either Westbrook's numbers take a huge dive or George gets super frustrated by Westbrook's ballhogging

Yeah, it'd be pretty funny if Westbrook's numbers dropped to how bad they were the last time he played with another really good player on his team.

Cannot believe no one offered Livingston more than 8 mil, he gave GS a discount for sure and he ain't never been paid so dang, weird choices

He would have gotten more than 8 mil if he wanted it. It sounds like he just wanted to stay in GSW.

With the West getting stronger, will the Cavs have a chance to get the best record in the league and HCA for the Finals if they try hard? Work hard during the season THEN coast in the playoffs, I think we had it backwards last year.

Why work hard for 82 games to get HCA when you can get it in 48 minutes in the playoffs.

The Cavs are going to coast all the way to the Finals.

Why is every gm in the east so bad, and everyone in the West at least competant. This year we might see a 50win west team not make the playoffs, and a 35 win east team get the 8th seed.

Also, Patty Mills is cool and all, but pretty disappointed with the Spurs so far. Please get something for Aldridge and sign someone decent.

Raps will still be good in the regular season if they keep Lowry. Even if they lose Ibaka it's not like they've had a decent powerforward before that. Now they'll get crushed in the playoffs.

Eh, I dunno. That roster is pretty bad even with the East being worse. Plus I think if we're finally rebuilding, Thad Young and Monta Have It All will be dealt by the deadline.
