    The NBA owners have voted to reimburse the Oklahoma City Thunder a sum of $8 million for the gap between Kevin Durant's contract under the old collective bargaining agreement and the new on that was agreed upon in December of 2011.

    Durant's deal became a super-max due to his presence on All-NBA teams.

    The $8 million is half of the gap between the two contracts for Durant.

    Interesting what that 8 mill could have got the Thunder in it's original market value?

    8 mill was the more then the diff between what Thunder had offered and what Harden wanted (max)
    what FA could have been had for a lil more cap room?, what kind of GM tricks could Presti had pulled off?

    Despite any "could have been" that could be thought of, I still prefer the current makeup of the team.
