Not to mention BOTH Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are coming to the West (Portland and Seattle). The NBA needs to figure out some kind of answer in match-ups or every year the finals will be this lopsided and boring.
Or just fire every GM in the East for creating this mess.

Trades:
Allen Iverson from Philly to Denver
Elton Brand from Chicago to LA Clippers
Ray Allen from Milwaukee to Seattle
Ron Artest from Indy to Sacramento
Tracy McGrady from Orlando to Houston
Dirk Nowitzki from Milwaukee to Dallas
Kobe Bryant from Charlotte to LA Lakers

Skipped draft picks:
Carmelo Anthony in favor of Darko Milicic (Detroit)
Marvin Williams in favor of Chris Paul and Deron Williams (Atlanta)

The East has no one to blame but themselves. What a pathetic excuse for a conference.
