Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 3500655, member: 767"] Well, I also think there may be some financial considerations at play as well. If I am looking at this correctly (??) the Thunder were a tax payer this year and they have been for a while. There is value in avoiding that, especially if you don't have an upper tier team. It doesn't seem like they're making a run at keeping Gallo around either. I don't know if I agree they have too much talent to bottom out though; especially if they trade Paul. The west is going to be really good next year; if you lose Paul and Gallo off the roster, they could be one of the two or three worst teams in the west. In general I take your point, there sometimes seem to be too much focus on either being really good or really bad. Especially now with flatter lottery odds [/QUOTE]
