Boris Diaw got traded to Utah. he is on a 4 year deal... so now that is 5 teams under the salary floor. maybe Colangelo keeps Philly under teh floor as a good will gesture to his players who are at the start of a long slow rebuild. I'm surprised there are only 6 teams below the floor. The salary cap went from $70M to $94M with the floor being $84M. The salary cap jump is almost as high as Durant's salary. | ||

http://www.spotrac.com/nba/cap/ the more i think about it.. the more i think Philly's GM would be wise to stay well below the floor and give his guys some extra cash for putting up with a lot of losing and a lot of pain. | ||

The GSW had the remarkable luck and skill to draft 3 top 20 players still on their 2nd and 3rd contracts. Unless you have these very rare circumstances, it doesn't really break the system. And I can't be the only person who finds the Warriors somewhat boring to watch can I? | ||

One of my favorite players of all time. I'm depressed but at least I like the Jazz so it's a consolation. | ||

I'd take West over Speights too. Durant can probably play some C too. Livingston is still one of the best backup PG's in the league. Main issue is finding replacements on the wing for barbosa/rush if they leave. Would love to see a Ray Allen cameo. they don't have a great defensive C anymore and they might still get outrebounded by the best rebounding teams (eg cavs), though obviously they're still way better. Lost a ton of depth this offseason but the upgrade to Durant is easily worth it for them. Dwade to cleveland would be hilarious, hope it happens for the sheer entertainment value | ||

So the Warriors need to bring back or replace Barbosa and get another warm body at center to replace Ezeli. That warm body is really mostly to give Pachulia and Draymond rest. The rest can be filled with rookies or cheap veterans. Why did the Spurs trade Diaw? Did they really need to make that much room to get Gasol? I enjoyed Diaw's play with the Spurs. | ||

I enjoyed Diaw's play with the Spurs. he was the only guy who had the right amount of salary. http://www.spotrac.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/cap/ the cap motivates some confounding decisions.
