Here is a fun article to read.

This is the part that I enjoyed the most:

Losers
• Oklahoma City: Some team is going to fare the worst coming out of this lockout, and the Thunder might quality in one way: The very same CBA change that could make Rose smile could create a dilemma for Oklahoma City. If Russell Westbrook qualifies for an extension that's richer than what Kevin Durant signed, how does Thunder GM Sam Presti handle it? There are those who think Westbrook might be better used as trade bait anyway -- Chris Paul? -- and this might only add to that clamor.
 
So far OKC has had the golden touch, it will interesting to see how they adapt their organizational philosophy to take advantage of the new rules. Given that they have shown a good mix of patience and agressiveness, and some heads up moves, I won't bet against them.

The Jazz on the other hand could be real losers if they don't adapt quickly to the new rules. Unfortunatley, the Jazz have shown a propensity to stay the course regarldless of how the NBA changes around them. Perhaps it will be different with Greg & Tyrone?
