West getting weaker??

[Gray Mule]

If the expected trade goes thru, making at least one team

an almost instant favorite to win it all in the east,

then we must reasonably assume that the west just became

weaker.

Unless, both teams really got better because of the trade.

Did that happen?

I believe the team in the east traded the future, which

will make their trading partner better eventually, for

the "Right now" improvement that they gain.

Gotta like the "Instant" contender. Lots of very good

vet players, just past their prime but with plenty of

fuel left in the tank for a couple more years.

Now their biggest worry has to be, keeping all these

older guys healthy and making sure they stay happy,

(chemestry) for the next couple of years.

Hawks may loose more eastern games due to this, but we

must remember, if this team is winning, someone has to

be loosing and it may be the team in front of us.

Also, if the west is weaker, we have a better chance

of winning these games, so it all works out.

GO HAWKS !!!!!

Well, I don't think the West is losing at sleep since the Wolves didn't even make the playoffs last year.

yes getting Greg Oden and Kevin durant has made the West very weak!
