Kinda sorta fills a need for us? Would be nice to have a body to throw at the Embiids and Jokics of the world. Just don't know if Dario can do that any more.

A high playoff seed doesn't want him, just saying

Eh, I liked Saric, but he's currently averaging 1.0 ppg in 8 minutes per game. I think maybe his best days are behind him. I can't think of any reason to play Saric a single minute over Oso.

Dario is an old 31. Tough for him to jump onto a piece of paper these days.

Poor Pacers. Cursed season. Hopefully they get everybody back healthy for next year and can make a real run at it.

If we just needed a body, I'd bring in Dario since he has the smarts to play practice in Ott's system. But we don't need guys. We have enough.

Wow, it's been a while! Big change coming in the NBA. Happy for Seattle. I lived in the area for four years and went to a couple Sonic games at Key Arena.

2 more teams in the west? How would that work? Send one existing team to the east?

Most likely. Wouldn't be the first time. Which current West team is most East?
Timberwolves or Pelicans?

Also we could go back to 4 divisions with 8 in each division, 16 teams in each conference

Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man, but I don't see how adding 2 teams helps with the NBAs biggest problems. IMO the association has a huge issue with perceived competitiveness. A rep as a fixed league that is backed by gambling money where teams would rather tank than win is not going to be improved by this move.
