    It wouldn't matter if Westbrook was there or not...OKC is not a desirable place for NBA players to relocate.

    C'mon... Doesn't matter how many years are left. If he wants out he just says he wants out.

    LeBron is like the kid that just bought the new video game console the day before v2.0 comes out with 3D graphics.

    I agree with this. Westbrook could play with LeBron just fine.

    The NBA is a players league and player driven, especially the Super Stars.
    Going to see more of it, imo.

    Im not sure, some players don't do well without the ball and Westbrook is one of them. Bro & Davis would want the ball more than Westbrook would be comfortable with.

    That idea has been thrown around before all this happened.

    It’s going to be interesting to see how the Clippers work their roster. Both PG and Kawhi are natural starters as SF. I’d guess Kawhi will start at SG?

    I saw their projected starters looked like this,
    Beverly -PG
    Kawhi - SG
    Harkless - SF
    PG13 - PF
    Harrell - C

    Four guys about the same size and a defensive guard. And Hark and Harrell don’t need plays run for them. That’s a good lineup. I would still start Lou over Hark though.

    I need help understanding how:
    1. How can the Clippers fit all those talents under their cap? Isn't PG a Max player? Isn't Kawhi signing for the max? But they also have Beverly, Lou, ...
    2. Why did Kawhi sign for 4 years when he could do 2 years then be eligible for the super max?
    What Am I missing?

    Same here, i have an account on the German NBA page and the main topics every day are Lakers, Warriors, Knicks, Clippers, Nets, Celtics... even fucking Oklahoma has a big fanbase in that forum, as a Blazers fan, i'm pretty alone there, nobody is even interested in the Blazers or cares about our Team, that's why i spend my time mostly here to discuss with other Blazers fans, it's a little bit frustrating but that's life

    I'm surprised Gustav's hasn't generated a larger following here in Portland.

    Defensive monsters ... who can't shoot the 3 ball? Just make sure Beverly and Moe take all the shots from 3 please.
    Knowing Stotts, we are going to struggle to beat them, because they will double Dame and CJ ... Stotts will be clueless what to do.
    We don't need an upgrade in player, we need an upgrade in coaching.

    I would imagine he just wanted to be in SoCal.

    According to my sources, Clay Bennett (Owner of OKC) is exploring trading the whole OKC franchise back to Seattle.

    Do your sources know if Seattle has built a new Bball arena yet?
