Other than the fact GS has had nice success the last two years, they are the mirror of us. Collecting a bunch of not great, but not crappy either type talent. Then after 2-3 years of collecting said mediocre talent we're forced to overpay to keep it.
We really can match them stroke for stroke with ripoff contracts the last ten years:
Us: Gadzuric, Tim Thomas, Bobby Simmons, Mo, Redd, (maybe Bogut in two years), we traded for Jason Caffey who got his crappy contract from GS, Anthony Mason, etc.
GSW: Dunleavy, Murphy, Foyle, Caffey, J-Rich, now Monta.
I know I'm missing a bunch of guys on both teams.
