This isn’t the NFL where you need to win your division to have a shot in the playoffs and see division opponents for a big chunk of your schedule. Division championships are fairly meaningless in the NBA and you play each team only 4 times in 82 games. You can get the #2 seed without winning your division. And title contenders don’t (or at least shouldn’t) care about whether they won their division. Do you think San Antonio cares that they didn’t win their division? Is Steve Nash sitting at home polishing his Pacific Division Champions ring?

Take Phoenix as an example. They have about 2 years left to win building around Nash (age and health issues). If they feel that a trade with a team in the Pacific gives them the best chance to win a ring in the next couple years, why not do it?
