I don't think it means they don't think they have a decent chance to come out of West.....but fair to think they are not yet on the level of those GS, SA and LAL teams when they were winning titles and are beatable.
No obviously they have to win one, but think about how impressive that is so far. No Laker team, no Spurs team, no Celtic team, no Warrior team, no Bulls team has ever done what they are doing. Means nothing if they don’t win though.

Been listening to some talk about the Mavs and all. Didn’t Rick Carlisle basically bail? What about Porzingus? Mean anything?

No, what they got was a 23-year-old up and coming big who can run the floor, and that Luka can throw lobs to, (something Luka apparently wanted). It'll be up to them to develop him defensively.

Wouldn't worry too much about the pick as with the roster changes....it's not likely to be a lottery pick.
Yep.

the league is driven by transactions

and in their infinite wisdom they made it significantly harder for teams do so.

It is impressive....but as you said they haven't won so doubt - right or wrong - teams are scared.

Scared is a bad word I think. No one is jumping up and down to have to beat that team 4 times. It’s stupid really. I mean this is the time of the season where everyone is planning on matching up against anyone. You have to beat everyone eventually so no reason to be scared.
