The West Will Rise Again!

What the fetch is going on in the NBA? Apparently the eastern conference has decided to change careers 'cause they are having a liquidation sale. Since the Korver trade, Pau Gasol, Shaq, Damon Stoudamire and Jason Kidd have all made their ways to the west. The west could start a brand-new team and have a contending team with that starting 5. Is Boston so scary that the rest of the conference has decided to wait 3 or 4 years to bother playing? I am waiting for LeBron to go to Kings (get it?) for 10 first round picks and Vlade Divac just to make salaries work. Hopefully the west can trade for a few playoff spots just so there is a playoff worth watching. Let the C's, Pistons, and Magic in then give the other five spots to west teams. That would allow these currently-out-of-the-playoff teams in: Houston, Portland, Sacramento and two other teams that trade for Chris Bosh, Vince Carter, and D-Wade. Then the Western Conference will secede from the Association to become the WNBA: Western Nat'l B-ball Association. Then we spend 20 years doing an AFL-NFL thing until a merger unites the top two teams in the Super Basket Bowl. It might work.
