There are already articles out explaining why Westbrook won't sign an extension now. There is another cap spike next year and even though he could get 8 million more this season, he can make more by waiting until next Summer.BallSacked said:
OKC could do a sign and trade. Thunder have the cap room now that KD is gone to give Westbrook a $10M raise and the lakers I assume also have lots of cap room to take on that contract in a trade.RoadDawg55 said:
Agree. It's tough to trade for Westbrook if you are LA because if the season goes bad, Russ might bolt when he hits free agency next Summer.allpurpleallgold said:
They have to trade him though. You can't risk him walking for nothing next year. They could get a haul from the Laker or Celtics but if those teams are smart they won't make big offers. Boston there's just no point with the team GS has now, just use all your picks and try to build up to a contender in a few years. Lakers will probably offer everything they have but should just wait it out and take their chances in free agency.RoadDawg55 said:
My guy Russ is gonna put up 30+ next year though if he doesn't get traded.allpurpleallgold said:
Oh it's 100% good for the NBA. Nothing to do with market size though. OKC/GS drew big ratings in the Western Conference Finals. Market size in 2016 doesn't mean what it did years ago. It will be funny watching the OKC franchise become a joke though.Purple_Pills said:
Why don't you try to live in a shitty trailer park for 8 years? Durant leaving some pissant D League market to a real NBA team is a good thing.allpurpleallgold said:That he's a giant pussyhole.
Can't wait to see Russell Westbrook finally on true NBA team a year from now. Fuck David Stern and his Pacific Coast League AAA NBA. OKC will be the Sacramento Kings II. Get ready for 20 years of dreck dust bowlers. -
He wouldn't win one in the two years with OKC so I think he would be fine with winning 2 rings despite what boner in sweatpants guys think about his career.Doogles said:
It was a bitch move then. It's a bitch move now. Why do you think there are so many Lebron haters?CuntWaffle said:I don't really understand why this is a "bitch" move by Durant. He wants to win a championship, he doesn't think he can do it with the Thunder. Maybe he will go learn how to win a championship in GS then next season sign with a team looking for a championship but hasn't had one in awhile.
It was a bitch move when Lebron did it and it isn't a bitch move now. The Thunder will still be good by the way. I for one am excited to see if Russell Westbrook can average a triple double this year (probably not)
This championship was the first year Lebron earned his stripes. KD could win 2 with the Warriors, but nobody will take him seriously as an all time great if he doesn't break through on his own.
I personally will be rooting against the Warriors because I hate just watching jump shots all game and now it's going to get even worse. Still don't understand the hate, never understood it with Lebron either besides the live broadcast announcement.
Whatever though, go Lebron. -
LeBron was hated because of that ESPN special. Had LeBron quietly switched teams, the hate would have been more local.Doogles said:
