Joe Johnson and David West possibly to the Cavs

[Sean Cagney]

How in the can this kinda happen!?! The sadnesses of one team to try an buy a championship. No way West goes there. He'd get waaaaay more PT here.

Which is why he would go there, it would make less sense but those things tend to happen.

The same thing happens wherever Bron goes, he needs to get this and that to try and win whether Miami or now it seems he never has enough help. Dude practically is on bought team his whole career. The circus goes where he goes, hope they fail again.

I've never seen a bigger bunch of pussies in my life. Have some balls people and while you're at it, try having some faith in your team. SMH at all the oooohs and aaaaahs of players past their prime and worth. David West would be great on the Spurs, coming off the bench. In Cleveland, I'm not so sure. He'd have to put up with Drama Queen Love, Ball Hog Irving and pouty, coach-killer LeBron.

The Spurs will be fine and have already won the FA sweepstakes.

QFT.

Gotta give it up to Dan Gilbert for money he's spending ... AND give it up to David West for the money he's leaving on the table to go to SA

Now this I'd be fine with. JR is probably better than Crawford at this point I guess they'd at least get to keep Varejao in this scenario, but still, would rather have this happen than the Joe Johnson trade.

[Mr. Body]

If they use Crawford right he can be a real asset. Let him bomb away; if he's not on, yank him. Cleveland should be deep enough to do that.

What? West is absolutely a big improvement over Ayres. I mean I'm not saying he's a game-changer who's going to suddenly propel us to le favorites or anything, but he's absolutely capable of being a great bench guy who can help a team win.

And he opted out of $12.5 million. The only 3 teams he's been linked to in FA have been Cleveland, SA, and Washington - none of which can offer him anything more than the MLE. You don't think that's a pretty tell-tale sign that he's more interested in winning than money? I mean I still have doubts that he'd be willing to play for the minimum, but it seems pretty clear that winning is the biggest priority for him at this point.

Yeah, sorry guys. Moment of weakness post. I was feeling cynical. My bad.

One of the best things about the Spurs' FA moves was adding two guys who don't have Championship rings. Aldridge and West's motivation will keep this team from dropping its guard. (I'm looking at you Tony Parker). I'd feel better if we added another SG who can provide some D and an athletic Center. Good gawd this team is stacked.

As I type this, Ric Buecher is on NBA radio saying that the teams to beat are:

1. Golden State Warriors
2. Oklahoma City Thunder (You read that correctly)
3. Spurs (He's not sold on them for whatever reason other than he's got his head buried in the Warrior's pants).

Spurs replaced Baynes and Tiago with LaMarcus Aldridge and David West and Ric Bucher puts them behind OKC and Warriors. That's some funny right there.
