    So true but Westbrick is inoperable and terminal.

    Sure but playoff P had a miserable outing in an elimination game. 5 points. 5.

    He’s not staying 100% sure and while he seems to want LA, he should seriously consider: 76ers, Rockets and Pelicans.

    I hope he goes to the Lakers but I hope nobody else goes there with him. Then he can be the lone star on that scrub squad and rot in 8th-10th seed mediocrity hell for the next few years.

    He won’t sign with a team without at least $33m in cap space unless he’s willing to leave crazy money on the table like CP3 did. I have a hard time seeing him do that. He’s a faker next year.

    I've never understood the buying out process. Wouldn't OKC still be on the hook for X amount of money? If Melo is bought out for X, would OKC suddenly have X amount of money, that year, to sign FAs?

    If you want him to return, its because you want the Thunder to fail again, right? Who knows, add another whole year, they might figure out how to play together.

    I don't think he would, but I couldn't care less.

    He regressed it seems. He was a much better player in Indiana which makes me think he didn't care much this year and is going to LA

    I'm not sure I would want him on the Rockets anymore. I suppose I still do.

    I think players have learned their lesson about playing with Westbrook. There is only one ball and it's his. He wants to bring the ball up the court. He wants the shots. He wants the rebounds. Everyone else is just there to help him. Even the assists he dishes out are for his stats. He isn't trying to make his teammates better.

    Not a team player at all. PG and Carmelo looked like scrubs that last game because of Westbrooks selfish play. Did they forget how to play all of the sudden? Like someone else said, it's the OKC Westbrooks.

    I'll be surprised if any free agents choose to play with him. Im looking forward to finding out.

    For example: Melo is owed $28 million for next season. If a buyout agreement for $26 million is reached, that $26 MM counts against OKC's cap next year instead of $28MM.

    They are seriously stuck.

    Facing elimination in the 88th game of the season, Westbrook heaved up 43 shots, including 19 threes. They're not learning to play together no matter how many more years they give it.
