The NBA’s Western Conference has had a lot in common with DFW International Airport this summer.
There were a lot of comings and goings.
Virtually all of the 15 Western Conference teams were busy with roster movement. It’s like reading departure signs in the big airport and wondering who’s on time, who’s behind schedule and who’s sitting at the top of the runway, ready to take off to greatness.
And this summer, the movement around the entire league and the West in particular has been amplified by a new collective-bargaining agreement.
“Everybody’s trying to improve, understanding that the new CBA has inspired an all-in mentality or for some teams it might be a transition to position yourself for the future,” new Maverick Grant Williams said Wednesday.
