with the trades that went down the past couple of days, i see the east as stagnant as ever and the west significantly improved. thank layzie for springboarding the t-wolves from a decent playoff team to the top five team in the frigging league. then this brad miller trade just made sacremento a force for frigging years. meanwhile, with the exception of maybe new jersey, the east are trading bum players to each other like robinson or van horn. or bringing in scott pollard to be a " force" in the east. what a state the eastern conference is in. lets hope it changes in five years when owners and gm's in the east are getting a clue that size does matter, especially talented size.

Or when the inevitable eastern draft picks mature, and the Western all-stars pass their prime...Then on the Laker and Spur boards, there will be wailing...

I take that back...Laker fans will suddenly switch to Cleveland, and wear LeBron jerseys.
