...to GS during the off-season. Besides the three all-stars, they play a style of ball where everyone eats and Curry has zero ego about other players looking good. Guys like playing for Kerr. Very competent front office that takes care of player when they want to stick around. Geographically, it's a good destination. It's not like they'd have to sell people on living in Utah.

There's no reason they wouldn't be able to make moves on be in the mix next year. The Lakers, the Clippers, the Nuggets, and the Jazz are all going to be very good. I have no reason to believe the Rockets are going to magically make it to the next level, especially since they mortgaged the future with those trades. Portland might not be going away, but I don't see them making the big leap either. Mavs are on the rise, but minus a big trade, aren't ready yet.
