Are we about to see an arms race in the west?

With so many teams firmly in win now mode it feels like this Murray trade is just the tip of the iceberg for teams leveling up. This next week should be very entertaining.

Are the Dubs attempts at Paul George legit? If so, that’s another team taking a step forward next year which makes a stealth tank seem like the way to go.

About? The last few years have been an arms race and it won't be getting any easier. The issue is there are only so many teams in the league that can pay a realistic value for Lauri and would have a reason to make the trade. Personally, I'm not worried about stealth tank. OKC spent the last few years being fairly shameless about tearing it down to the studs to build something sustainable through the draft. There's nothing wrong with being horrible for a few years with the express purpose of getting a long term gain. #Flaccid4Flagg
