Looking at GS they are set to dominate for 3 more years at least barring injuries so it just makes me curious why they are choosing the way they are other than they know they can't beat Lebron. They aren't going to beat GS either though. It would seem to me the easiest path is in the East with alot less work and you won't get beat up as much.
The West is going to be ****ing brutal next season.

But who has honestly done this? Durant did and picked the best team available to win a title. Not crazy. George sort of has and declared he wanted to be a Laker. Outside of this, who has really declared they want to go west? Butler didn't. Paul didn't. Griffin signed, but he was a huge injury risk and I'd doubt he'd get his contract anywhere else. The only common denominator is that the teams willing to give up talent to get talent were in the west. Wolves would trade to get better. The rockets too. The thunder. Outside of the Celts, what eastern team has even been mentioned in trying? I can't think of one.
