I'm surprised the Raptors are being mentioned as improvers. They've lost an underrated Amir Johnson and 6th man of the year Lou Williams. Personally think Joseph is overrated. I do like Carroll however but can't see how they've managed to remain the same let alone improve. For mine the biggest winner is the Spurs. To be able to resign their core guys and add LA is huge in a tight conference and signing West is a bonus. A healthy Heat will contend in the East with Green, Winslow and Stoudermire added to rotation. Think sides I haven't seen mentioned yet are Bucs and Clippers. Adding Munroe to a side that made the playoffs last year and hopefully a fully fit Jabari could mean great things for Milwakee. Having DJ backflip was massive, but I think picking up Pierce and Wes Johnson will be handy. I also reckon locking up AD, Ajinca and Asik means the Pelicans will be a force for a while.

I don't think it matters. That 3 man rotation worked for them and it's been retained. Completely agree that he's overpaid, but I'm thinking purely in terms of structure and set up. I suppose at least the Pelicans will get some blocks and boards for their money. Now LA and Hibbert, that's another story!Honestly, Asik got over paid. hes a shell of what he was in Chicago. I'm really shocked the Pels offered him what they did - I feel they were bidding against themselves at that dollar amount? Who else would have offered him $12mill a season?
Big loss. But I just noticed they picked up Biyombo and will probably get Scola. Think Lou hurts big time. But seems they're getting deeper.They got lost vs Nets last year and Wizards this year they had to do something. I forgot they lost Lou though!

Tell me about it!Unbelievable. I'm starting to doubt Orlando and 76ers strategies...... def a steal for Portland there.
Tell me about it!
Off topic, but did you see the O'Quinn Immaculate #/75 on eBay?
why isn't anyone mentioning okc as a contender next year if healthy?? look at the squad they have if everyone is available playoff time!! I know the spurs look good, getting Aldridge and West, but remember they are still an old team...warriors will be there, clips improved, and everyone else will be on the outside looking in from the west, except Houston, they will be good for the second round probably...
The west is a 5 horse race with injuries determining who finishes where.
1. Warriors
2. Spurs
3. Thunder
4. Clippers
5. Rockets
-------------
6. Memphis
7. New Orleans
-------------
Spot 8 is wide open I believe
8. Phoenix, Utah, Sacramento,
-------------
12. Dallas (can run for 8th if Matthews recovers in full and Deron finds form)
13. Lakers
14. Wolves
15. Denver

What a steal, only a second rounder, some good players getting traded for nothing this offseasonProbably not the biggest trade of the year but Maurice Harkless is off to Portland for a 2nd round draft pick. Maybe I am a little biased here but I think Portland got a steal!
