ESPN's NBA "expert" John Hollinger has made his list of the 15 teams that have improved this offseason and the 15 that have gotten worse. Fine premise, monumentally better than that same entity's horrifyingly shitty Who's Now? garbage, but the execution of the premise left a lot to be desired.
You know who didn't improve themselves? The Kings. Yet this douche monkey has them in the half that got better. Tenth to be exact. Exactly how does adding Brad Miller's retarded protege and Mikki Moore make a team better? I await his formula for calling these additions quality ones.
The team that improved itself the most is apparently the Rockets for adding Mike James(...). Yeah, I mean it worked for the Timberwolves last year so I can see the point.
Number two: The Bobcats. Umm, this team without question hurt itself dramatically by trading Brandan Wright for broke-ass has-been Jason Richardson. What the hell is he THINKING!? (As I typed this a spider crawled across my computer screen. A clear sign of just how stupid this call is.)
Number four? You guessed it, the Knicks. Zach Randolph managed to get into trouble in PORTLAND, OREGON. But I think Hollinger's right, he won't be able to find anything unsavory to do in New York.
Those are the asinine picks in the 'improved' category. Now onto the 'got worse' category.
Nothing egregious until No. 18. That is where the Portland Trailblazers reside. Wow. One of two teams who dramatically and unquestionably improved themselves and they go at No. 18. Hollinger uses the "Yeah, but they won't be good this year" argument, but it's not about that is it? Were they good last year? No. Will they be more fun to watch this year? Yes.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand No. 30 AKA The Team That Got Worst Of All, The Sonics. The other one of the two teams that got uquestionably better. Yeah, Ray and Shard leaving will make them terrible next year, but again, the team that was there was impossibe to watch without shitting all over yourself. Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Delonte West and Wally Szczgdfyhfjluhdocoygrobboerbiak are huge additions. I think West is a really underrated player and should start next year at PG. The Blazers and Sonics should have gone 1 and 2, while the Kings and Knicks should have gone 26th and 27th.
I usually disagree with Hollinger, as I have sent him numerous e-mails telling him I think he is full of poo. He never responds, cuz he's too smart to be questioned.

I've been waiting to see how things turned out before commenting, but I now feel justified in saying that you're a turd for thinking the Sonics would be better. NO ONE else thought that except you, and it's because everyone else knew better.
