		<description><![CDATA[Barnes and POB are free agents?

Then so much the better! They can opt out and we can save money. Use the money to lure Elton Brand who is a free agent this year.

We are one player away from a championship if that one player is an impact player who can fill the void and make everyone else look better. The team&#039;s weakness right now is the frontcourt. If we could get a big guy who can rebound, set picks and pass the ball, What other voids would we still have at present?

Backcourt is excellent with BDiddy and Monta and you have back ups as well, Shooting guard position is great and competitive, Small forward is promising with Wright, Pietrus and Jackson, The slot is decent with AB who is only 21 yrs old but he needs help, It&#039;s the PF position that needs to be addressed. Keving Love is the my answer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[if the w&#039;s and nuggets are tied after the season, then playoff it&#039;s determined by the head to head season series. nuggets won the series 3-1, so they own the tiebreaker and they get in the playoffs. dont know what happens if the series were 2-2, one game playoff?

fyi, ewok, barnes and pob are FA as are many of the w&#039;s. so no trade involving barnes and no accomadation involving pob. just an fyi so you can get the facts straight. and really the w&#039;s are more than one player away from championship. i guess your analysis is wrong.

but #14 spot isnt so bad this year. should get a pretty good player. possibly a top 10 talent in any other draft. maybe a kevin love. anthony randolph. oj mayo.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This might be a stupid question to ask but, if the Warriors happen to win the last 2 of their games, and Nuggets win against Memphis they&#039;ll have the same record (50-32). So my question is this, why do Nuggets get the 8th spot instead? The W&#039;s will have a higher win streak, if they win their last games. So why don&#039;t they get in instead?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like what Stephen A said on ESPN, the league will probably wait for the &quot;other shoe to drop&quot; on the playoff issue.  what happens when a 50 win team misses out on the playoffs and wins the lottery?  It&#039;s a valid point.  Suppose that team is the Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, or Utah.  The point of having a draft lottery has been compromised.

I&#039;ve always been a big fan of how soccer fixtures are set (but I would add a playoff system).  I propose this: All teams are included in one table; the top 16 teams make the playoffs based on record; the 2 worst teams, instead of playing for the #1 and #2 pick in the lottery, would receive the #3 and #4 pick and get relegated to playing in the D-league for the season. those 2 teams are allowed back into the NBA if their winning percentage is 75% and up and the 2 worst teams from the next season take their place in the D-league.  That would sure solve some tanking issues and put the right teams in the playoffs. HA!

(it&#039;s an outlandish idea, but i like it!)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This season in this division is such a &quot;freak&quot; one.

As far as I&#039;m concerned, 48 to 50 wins is good enough for six to seventh places in the playoffs... But in such a freaky nature of the Western Conference, Who&#039;s to say What&#039;s good enough and What Isn&#039;t.

The league should definitely look into this. This is Basketball, not a Real Estate business where the West is looking like it has more value equity than the East.

Ironically, Despite of good credit standing, The Warriors are bound for &quot;forclosure.&quot;

No one should have to go through what the Warriors and the Nuggets have experience to make the playoffs despite of the fine season both teams had shown. It is not fair to the Fans.

There is an Imbalance in the league and It should be checked. Otherwise, the public is deprived of top quality competition.

As for the Warriors, It&#039;s time to get a Biggie who can run, rebound and pass. I think Kevin Love is the guy. The Pacific Division is the Land of the Giants. Period.

It&#039;s time to utilize Brendan Wright and Marco Bellineli

Matt Barnes is subject for a trade.

Kostas Perovic, POB must be accomodated as well. These guys must gain the needed confidence. Nellie should be personally supervise these guys so he can lay the foundation. This way, the team wont be fatigued again this time next year.

CJ Watson, MB, BWright, Croshere, Kostas Perovic should be scrimmaging as a team and personally coached by Nellie while competing against the Vets.

In my analysis, We are one trade or player away from a championship. Who knows? we may be already set.]]></description>
