    Hayward is staying in Utah.

    He gets more money, and its easier to get to the finals in the West than in the East.

    Hey look the same amount of teams. Weird what you can do with an arbitrary starting point.

    Lebron is 32. Golden States core is in their prime. Kawhi is just entering his prime. Boston is already the second best team in the East. Utah is 4th at best with no chance of getting better because no top free agent would ever sign there. Meanwhile Hayward makes Boston better and they're adding Fultz and a high pick next season. But yeah stay with Utah for an easier path.

    It's not the same amount of teams you moran.

    It's LeBron's team. That's who wins the East.

    You can have an easier regular season in the East. You can have better stats in the East. But in the span that LeBron's team has made the finals, four different teams from the West have made it.

    A non-GS team will win the West before a non-LeBron team wins the East.

    It's cute you think a team who's best player is 5 9 is just missing Markelle Fultz and Gordon Hayward to get to the Finals.

    You're making the point that it's easier to win the East because it's filled with pussies.

    Durant left his team and stayed in the West.

    Aldridge left his team and stayed in the West.

    Who was the last big free agent to leave his team, and go to a team in the East?

    Fans may be all enamored by the Warriors or Westbrook's triple doubles, but the players know what the reality is.

    It is basic economics. Because of the max salary, no player in the league is as underpaid as LeBron, so whichever team he is on has $30M of extra cap room that no one else has.
