Been saying this for years, even during the NLSC black & blue days. Thank you, Mr. Clutch.

Merge the Wolves, Grizzlies and Thunder into a Seattle team, move New Orleans back to the East, and return to the 7 team divisions.

C - Jefferson/Gasol/Thabeet
PF - Randolph/Love
SF - Durant/Gay
SG - Mayo/Harden
PG - Westbrook/Sessions/Flynn

Nah the wolves have been around almost as long as ive been alive they should stick around.
After the raptors lose bosh in the offseason: how about a raptor/grizzly/Thunder merger? I'd go see that team for sure.

EDIT: I retract my previous statement. i need to research things more often.

Grizzlies back to Vancouver and SuperSonics being created again in Seattle to fuck up Thunders in WCF would be a dream come true.

What he is really saying is that the high salaries are hurting the league since the smaller markets don't make enough revenue to sign the league's marketing babies.

It's gotta be a dillema since other leagues are willing to pay high salaries as well.

Better thread title: Jerry West - Stating The Obvious

Of course, fewer teams means more high quality players on each team. This is why the Bulls managed to win 72.
