This is good for Thunder fans with RW and Presti agreeing to a contract keeping him in OKC. Like you, I don't care much for RW, but I certainly respect him more than Durant for staying and taking the official role as team leader.
Denny, did you just want to make a nasty comment? It took me about 2 seconds. The world did not end in that time. But if making nasty remarks makes you happy, feel free.
Yep, OKC was horrible in the 4th quarter last year. They lost 15 regular season games where they led in the 4th quarter. And, of course, they choked away the WCF against GSW after going up 3-1. And, that was with Durant. He knew they'd never get past GSW with Russ playing his uniquely ineffective brand of hero ball, complete with a barrage of unforced TOVs and hideous shot selection. That's why he left. They missed the playoffs two years ago when Durant missed 57 games. They have a better supporting cast now. So, that should keep them in the hunt for a lower playoff seed, which is good because it will keep then away from a high lottery pick. Russ will pad his stats, lead the league in scoring, rack up triple-doubles and choke hard when it matters most. I hope he retires a Thunder. BNM
I respect his agent for figuring out how to get him an additional 39M by adding just one more year to his deal. Most lucrative 1-year deal in NBA history.
