No it's not....The west stronger than the east...it's a fact. not to mention, lebron supporting cast did have Ricky david. You put Sonics in the east and they'll win at least 15 more games which would make them playoff contender...
The Sonics won 8 games out of 30 in the east. I don't see how adding 22 more games would give them 15 more wins.

My post was regarding the durant vs oden comparison ...i'm taking this sure thing over someone who has yet to play an official nba game.
The same rule applies!
The point of taking a chance on rookies is because of their upside. It doesn't matter if they are less proven than guys who have been in the league 1-5+ years.
If Oden looks healthy when he recovers from his injury, it's not "blasphemous" to take him over Durant for the same reason he went over Durant in the draft.
A guy with a chance to be an elite post player (especially one who brings it defensively) is far more valuable in this league.

smh@your stupidity...I took someone who averaged over 20 ppg in his rookie year over someone who has yet to play a single nba game. which sounds ridicoulus if did the opposite?
and yes i'd take Kirk cuz i know what he'll give me...i don't fuccking know if rose gonna be another kwambe...see you go with what you have in hand not wait and hope the player you picking is gonna be better...different league, different rules...and being a bust is not out of a question you dumb head, use your brain.
LOL!!! Could you imagine if Miami gets the 1st pick and Riley calls up Pax and says "Hey, Im not looking to keep this pick, would you be willing to trade Kirk for the rights to Rose?" and then Pax saying "Nah, I think im good with Kirk. I know what im going to get with him. Rose might be a bust. I'll take the sure thing"
Thats some funny stuff buddy. Is your name Isiah??
