    Didn't know this

    So even if this doesn't happen I guess we can expect something else to

    OKC does not need more offense with F. Westbrook and Durant. I am surprised that they are so inclined to give him the max. Oh well, like I said the worst case scenario is still pretty good for us.

    We have 7 ft guys that can defend and 7 ft guys that can score. Options. He might be a rental or future trade piece but he is an asset. Could be one of those emergers Neil talked about who is about to break out

    Maybe because a 20/10 post scorer is valuable in this league.

    Oh and you can't play small ball against a center that is not an offensive liability

    Oklahoma City restricted free-agent center Enes Kanter is signing a four-year, $70 million maximum contract offer sheet Thursday with the Portland Trail Blazers, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Enes’ deal will include a player option on the fourth year, and a 15 percent trade kicker bonus. Kanter traveled to Portland on Thursday to sign the sheet, and it can be immediately transmitted electronically to Oklahoma City. The Thunder have three days to match the offer sheet and retain Kanter – or decide to let him leave for the Blazers. The clock starts once the signed offer sheet is sent to the Thunder.
