Because the Spurs play in a small market, don't bring in the ratings and have a dumb reputation of being a "boring team" when that's not the case whatsoever.
Where is the upside to that deal for Chicago? I guess it saves them some money but should they really be thinking about monetary side of this when they have been one of the elites in the east before Rose's injury? Boozer has been decent this year so I'd want to get some more value for him if they were considering trading him.
I think the Clippers might be a move from being a threat in the west. Not sure what that move would be a the moment.
