Yeah...Westbrook is a Free Agent next year....if OKC doesn't trade Westbrook to get something in return...will Billy Donovan return to College Basketball....

How is this way off topic when we have an NBA free agency thread? It couldn't be more on topic

Was originally on the Realignment board.

On paper, this looks crazy, scary good for the Warriors. How they mesh as a team and play together is another matter. It will be interesting to see how they adjust to KD in the lineup and/or KD adjusting to them. My gut reaction is they don't win as many games next year due to this transition period. The following year could be a new record breaker in wins though. Time will tell...

If the Thunder lose Harden, then Durant, then.... Westbrook their front office will be more suspect than the Magic when they lost Shaq...

That said, Westbrook might be best as a solo star in OKC.

There is still only one ball.

There is. But if you have many dangerous players instead of just one or two, then the defense has to account for all of them, and if an elite player has an off game, then you have other elite players who can still win the game for you.

It's just as true in soccer as in basketball. You don't see the Barcelona management saying, "Hey, we already have Messi, and there's only one ball on the field at a time, so that's enough, right?" No, it's not enough. That's why Barca spends the money to have three of the best forwards in the world instead of just one, and other top teams try their best to do the same.

Not good enough to get Argentina a championship ...


Besides, everyone knows that with KAT, Wiggins, Levine and now Dunn, the T-Wolves are gonna win about 10 championships in a row!

They are going to try and trade him, but the Thunder have no leverage. Why do a trade when he will be a free agent at the end of the year? Only James Dolan or Jim Buss would be fool enough to make a midseason deal for Westbrook.
