When there is 'parity', then lots of the media and fan bases start complaining that there is no 'great' team(s). Then when there is a great team, people complain about lack of parity. Just seems like that debate is a no-win situation.

I mean ya, "people" are going to both dislike and like just about anything at all, ever.
I'm obviously speaking for myself here...... But **** "great teams" I want parity
Nick Saban has slowly ruined my favorite sport due to lack of parity

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
You just gonna ignore the bet?
Exactly. No win. But at least the NBA is rarely boring because of all the characters involved.Hickory High said:Who are "people"?Pumpkinhead said:

Ugh...this was the outcome I was worried about. No net change in our roster, yet we shopped everyone publicly so now there is feelings of butthurt...
It wouldn't surprise me to see Capela, Tucker, or Gordon ask for a trade now that Houston made it clear they were willing to trade them for Jimmy Butler.AG@RICE said:

They are professionals don't be ridiculous.
Rockets said to have great interest in Iggy if he gets a buyout. Not really a surprise.
They are also people. Would you do your job as well if your company said they wanted to replace you?YNWA_AG said:

I was talking to a few folks last night about Capela in particular. I wouldn't be surprised if they still traded him and used the cap savings for other free agent additions or to take on salary in a trade. May not happen before the season, but could see Morey dangling him out there all the way up to the deadline.Guitarsoup said:It wouldn't surprise me to see Capela, Tucker, or Gordon ask for a trade now that Houston made it clear they were willing to trade them for Jimmy Butler.AG@RICE said:

His contract is such a great one and he is young and showing signs of improving each year, I'm sure the Rockets can get a good return for him.CFTXAG10 said:I was talking to a few folks last night about Capela in particular.

Would have gotten much better before last years postseason.

I'm not making a bet in July. We can discuss further as the season gets closer.
Glad Myers Leonard is out of the West. He seems like he could become one of those role players that's just obnoxious to play against.
Why does Portland want Whiteside? Insurance until Nurkic comes back?

I guess we're just running it back. Hopefully we either get another backup C or Hartenstein makes a jump to be able to give consistent backup 5 minutes.
Hoping we somehow get jamychal green
Wow that is a massive pay cut for Rivers. He should be making around $8-10 million in this market IMO.
Rockets can still offer a salary starting at 5.7mm.
Pat Bev got 3 year, 40 M. Seth Curry got 4 year, 32 M. He could have easily gotten 2-3 years at around 7-10 M.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Helps when his dad is making $7m a year and Austin isn't having to fork over $$$ to support everyone.
Thank goodness Butler to Houston is dead.
