I think Dallas did lose something in the offseason but they will still be in contention.

Yeah, I'm actually happy with what they did. We got Odom and Carter that might contribute a little something to tide us over for this year only. I think what most of you don't realize is the number of expiring contracts we have for next year. I believe we will only have 5 players under contract next year - Dirk, Marion, Haywood, Odom, and Dominique Jones (tiny $5 mil contract that doesn't matter anyway). We will have a TON of money and cap space to completely overhaul this team and get some big names, if they are available and willing.

OAKLAND, Calif.—The Golden State Warriors have completed a trade sending forward Lou Amundson to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for guard Brandon Rush.

The teams announced the trade Monday.

Rush averaged 8.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in three seasons for the Pacers. Indiana considered him a part of the core group of young players, but the team eventually added enough talent at his position to make him expendable.

Rush showed great potential at times but also found trouble. He was suspended for five games last season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Amundson has averaged 4.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in five seasons, primarily with Philadelphia, Phoenix and Golden State. He has shot 52 percent from the field for his career.

Brandon Rush is a Warrior.

Not quite the NFL off-season fervor is it?

Anybody watch any of that Clippers game last night? Oh my goodness. If they stay healthy, watch out. Biggest surprise was Chauncey; he's going to get a ton of open looks. I could see him leading the league in made 3s. Biggest issue I'd think is front court depth, but they're going to be really fun to watch.

I used to go watch Chauncey when he played high-school for GW in Denver. 3 or 4 time all-state, all evrything, dude was amazing. You knew he was going to be nba.
