    Sorry, Lin nor Parsons could be on that team, we'd have to release both to get under the cap.

    We were so close to getting Chris Paul this summer. Stars like to play with other stars. Having two superstars makes Houston a destination.

    Kevin Durant doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd leave his team in free agency. I really doubt this happens.

    As long as Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka are on that roster they are going to stay in OKC. Those guys have been on the cusp of a championship and they technically haven't even entered their primes. Not everyone is Lebron where they're looking for the easiest possible path to a ring.

    Yeah, my first thought was that he's sort of the Tim Duncan of Oklahoma City. Willing to take less money out of loyalty to the coaching staff, organization, his teammates, and the city of San Antonio. There's one huge difference. Timmy D keeps either winning championships there, or fighting for one in the Finals. Being on a contender matters. Will OKC continue to be a contender?

    I would kill 50 people at random for this to happen.

    How is Westbrook gonna leave before KD? That's not even possible.

    As long as they are child molesters , executive bankers and drug dealers, then I would turn a blind eye. :grin:

    You're making too many false assumptions.

    1. You're assuming that by this time the salary cap will still be the same it is now. Probably false, the salary cap will likely be higher by the time KD is a free agent.

    2. You're assuming Dwight won't opt out and take slightly less money to make this happen. I'll bet he would, he wants to win a title.

    3. You're assuming KD wouldn't take slightly less to play with Harden + Dwight. I think he would.

    It's not that complicated. Let's say the salary cap increases to $60M. Then Dwight and KD each take $1M less, and it's a done deal.

    I'm inclined to think he stays in OKC. Didn't he say he wouldn't do what Lebron, Wade and Bosh did? Or something referring to that.

    We'll see...I don't think OKC will win one while Scott Brooks and Perkins are on the team though.

    What lots of people fail to realize, is that OKC lost an 18ppg player over the offseason.

    Is Reggie Jackson going to improve enough to cover up that hole, or will Jeremy Lamb prove that he is an NBA player/

    To many questions for that team. I think they are going to be below Memphis this year as the overall 5th seed.

    Spurs
    Houston
    Clippers
    Memphis
    OKC
    GSW
    Dallas
    Minnesota

    This is not possible, division winner gets HCA and top 4 seed so either OKC or Denver will be top 4.
