The good news ... the Nuggets are not in the lottery ... for the sixth straight year! The bad news ... the Oklahoma City Thunder have a chance to grab Blake Griffin. Imagine if the Thunder get Griffin ... the Northwest be will that much more loaded with young talent ... currently the Northwest boasts: Melo, Nene, J.R. Smith, Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams, Paul Millsap ... and more. Just a ridiculous division ... Move over Southwest Division (Spurs, Rockets, Mavs, Hornets) ... the youngblood is taking over!
