I think the case here is that NO was just purchased and it certainly seems like a very small jump to imagine the league sweetened the deal with two first round picks. | ||

Westbrook-Wade-James-Bosh or Wade-James-Love would've been pretty sick too. edit: and grossly unfair to every other NBA team. Could you imagine the hate the Heat would get with 4/5ths of the East's starting All-Star lineup? | ||

Could you imagine the hate the Heat would get with 4/5ths of the East's starting All-Star lineup? I think I would have taken Love for the rebounding and 3pt shooting over Rose or Westbrook. Well, not sure how much more hatred the Heat could get. | ||

Neither of them are exactly huge markets. san antonio isn't a true small market, they are just smaller than nyc or la, so they like to play the small market card, its actually quite a large market. cleveland got a home town boy and a few hundred million (exaggeration) jerseys sold, not a bad thing. duncan goes to a team with the admiral? god damn, lucky that he was injured that year and they got to tank. | ||

Yeah, why don't you spend time going through my post history and check it out. Is anything I'm saying incorrect? Or should I get on the Miami bandwagon? What would please you, my liege? | ||

Definitely in the lower half.san antonio isn't a true small market, they are just smaller than nyc or la, so they like to play the small market card, its actually quite a large market. cleveland got a home town boy and a few hundred million (exaggeration) jerseys sold, not a bad thing. duncan goes to a team with the admiral? god damn, lucky that he was injured that year and they got to tank. I do find it strange but I also have to disagree with the SA one being one of those. They really did tank it up and just ended up getting lucky imo. They could have given him to another team for it to make more sense that specific year to me. edit: Bob had already mentioned my last point. | ||
