Um, the fact that I live/work in LA?
Closet Clippers fan.
Haha, dippers can't sniff the 2nd round of the playoffs...
So it is the other way around then, my mistake. 16 titles and can't even get a meeting with Durant.
We've had better days for sure... I'm confident we'll turn it around though.
I'm actually a little surprised that Walton didn't wait on Bogut and Barnes. He surely must have known that if the Warriors got Durant they were on their way. Since he's worked with both of them it surely would seem to be a good fit. Even though Bogut's a little older I would have taken him over Mozgov.

No way of knowing hindsight. Cuban lucked out, up to now Dallas was the big loser of this free agency until today's events.
Still baffling, and it'll take the Lakers another 5 years to recover from it (and the LoL Howard & Kobe deals).Yet the bastards blocked Chris Paul's trade to the Lakers!
The Howard trade might be the worst ever since it set every team involved back years.
It's up there with the 'Let's mortgage our future for Carson Palmer for no fecking reason' trade with the Oakland Raiders. That still makes me laugh.
Don't forget the Nash deal either, we really did luck out with the second pick this year.
For anybody that cares, I thought this was interesting.

If anyone plays 2k like me, Then 2k17 will be unbearable online.
Feck the naysayers. We now have Curry,Barnes, Bogut and Dirk just decided to stay.
YESSSSSS!!!
YESSSSSS!!!
7th or 8th seed this year then?
2 years $40m. Deserves it, took a big paycut the last 2 years.
David West to the Warriors for the veteran minimum. 
EDIT: And Zaza Pachulia for $2.9m. (to the Warriors)

What are the chances of seeing a Thompson - Curry - Iguodala - Durant - Green line up?
I'm sure you'll see it quite a bit. That will be the new SBDS line up.
The new and improved death lineup.. Damn.
More maneuvering by the Dubs.
From hoopsrumors.com
A year after taking a significant pay cut to sign with the Spurs, David West has once again decided to forgo a major payday in order to join a title contender. According to David Aldridge of NBA.com (via Twitter), West has agreed to terms on a one-year, minimum-salary contract with the Warriors. The minimum salary for a player with West’s experience is $1,551,659.
In 2016/17, West will take another shot at a ring with the Warriors, who are huge title favorites after agreeing to sign Kevin Durant. In addition to striking a deal with Durant and now landing West, Golden State also got Zaza Pachulia to agree to a below market contract to join the roster, fortifying the team’s frontcourt.

Will there be much point in watching the season next year
Hope Wade joins Cleveland now and we may as well jump to the finals and watch GSW beat Cavs in 6.
Yes I am upset my Raptors are being left behind with everybody else

Well, you called it!
Wade off to the Bucks?
Allen wanting to come out of retirement to ride the coattails of another championship caliber squad?

I'm not entirely sure what the Bulls are doing....Rondo/Wade/Butler
Yup, thought the same.
Parting shot at Riles?
Imagine this possibility: Whiteside backs out, goes to Dallas instead. No Bogut trade to facilitate Durant, who goes back to the Thunder. Bananas.
Please let this happen!!!
Yes. The other stuff is interesting though very unlikely.
Butler as small forward? Trying to assembly the worst 3 pts shooting team in the league?

I don't think Miami are a playoff team right now. Tyler Johnson is a huge step down and they don't have that much quality elsewhere with Bosh out. They're a great FA market though and could do some trades to empty their cap hold.
Ezeli is talking to Portland now, they're strong favourites but it depends on whether his knees are fine. He's been injured forever for the past two seasons and he will have to undergo a thorough medical examination to even be considered for a contract. Also, I'm hoping he will take a bargain offer like 1+1 contract for $7M - $9M a year, I wouldn't like to renounce anyone to accommodate a player with his injury history.

Wade offered 2-year $40m (second year player option) by Miami. There is no way he's leaving his house.
Looks like he's housing up in Chicago from now.
Supposedly Riley told Wade to take a one-year, $10m deal for 16-17 and with his Bird rights he could pay him $37m the following year. It's said that Wade didn't trust Riley to follow through. Believe Le Batard, Sedano, or Windhorst reported that.
Durant saying, "I'm sure we'll talk again" about Westbrook makes me think he didn't take Durant's decision well.
Lost season for Westbrook right now, sucks for him. Durant took the easy way out, yet he doesn't get the hate LeBron got. Handled it different but still.
I think his decision has ruined the next season of the NBA. Just a season waiting for GSW to win it now.
Ezeli at $15M for two years is a cracking deal for Portland. If Turner fits in, Portland will have quietly had an excellent free agency. Ezeli is exactly what was missed, a tough, physical rim protector with huge upside.
Crabbe accepted Nets' offer sheet, $70M for 4 years. I don't think Portland should match for any other reason than to immediately trade him.
