He was traded because OKC didn't want to pay all three of those guys. I don't believe there was any beef among the three of them.

The Westbrook trade has huge disaster potential. He's a terrible three point shooter, but loves chucking them up. I understand getting out from the Paul contract, but this could be really ugly.

So the Raptors win it all and don't even make the top 4? In the East?

The Warriors could do well in the playoffs, but they won't have a 4 seed. They'll be without Klay for most of the year. The 4th team will be the Rockets (if Westbrook isn't a disaster) or Portland.

The Raptors today bear little resemblance to the Raptors from 4 weeks ago.

Blight Howard is baaaack with the Lakers on a non-guaranteed contract. First DeMarcus Cousins eats humble pie and promptly blows out his knee. Now Howard promises to be a good boy, but the Lakers say they will cut him at any sign of dissent. This is the same guy who left town when they offered to make him the star of the franchise. How the mighty have fallen.
