If Detroit gets Malik Monk and Caris LeVert, Pistons might be a top-3 team next season in the East.

Just a disastrous 2 year stretch for Dame Lillard.

Sometimes, taking a slight pay cut is worth the freedom to choose your own team...
(Instead of signing the max contract and then trying to force your way to a preferred employer.)

I'd be very interested in RR.

Not sure there are a ton of minutes available TBH.

Great that SAC has found a way to create more room and sign Dennis without having to do a S&T, I don't want to see Monk with Eastern rival, and SAC would be idiots to trade him.

I know it's absurd to say -- but other than the whole Luka fiasco, Nico Harrison has actually made some solid moves in Dallas.

It's hard to quantify that the only real gaffe Nico's made as head of the Mavericks is quite possibly the single worst mistake in modern NBA History.

DLow and Anthony Davis need to go.
I expect Nico to ride things out foe two sesosns with a healthy Kyrie Irving before he considers trading Anthony Davis.

Jokic always makes Anthony Davis look silly. The injury risk is to great to trust AD.

West teams have won 1,319 more games than East teams since 2000

The West has eaten the East’s lunch time and time again this century. Since 2000, in head-to-head matchups, the Western Conference has won the majority of inter-conference games in a staggering 23 of the last 26 seasons, according to Basketball-Reference tracking. The final tally has the West earning 6,316 wins against the East compared to just 4,997 victories on the other side. – via Yahoo! Sports

Once the league hits expansion, they really need to do away with the Conferences.

Instead replace four (4) eight-team divisions with a true 16 seed playoff format.

Wow.

This felt inevitable.

Surprised he went for so little.

He'll put up some stellar empty stats on a last place team this fall.
