    Westbrook >>> Wall

    I dont see the appeal, maybe because Wall is tamer a little easier to reason with.

    I think if he hasn't win a ring by 2016 he'll Forsure be in Houston. We know he's very good friends with Harden but let's think about this he wouldn't just be joining james who's arguably already a top 5 player with a very high chance to be 3rd best in the game in 2 years. He would be joining that and Dwight Howard, he's the X factor he's the type of player that lebron james does not have.

    A big 3 of KD/JH/DH is better offensively and defensively than LBJ/KL/KI that's 2 defensive liabilities. Dwight is so good on defenses and is the most physically imposing player in the game. It would give JH and KD to swing the ball back and Forth getting open 3s because of the fear of the lob pass from either side.

    I think KD is in Houston if OKC hasn't won a ring by 16. Harden will be in prime and Howard will still be the best center IMO.

    lol

    I agree this is possible. He will be ring chasing eventually and Houston has to be a big consideration if our superstars stay healthy.

    She's from the DC area, where KD is from, and is saying the coming home style commercials would be better, to her, if they were of KD coming home to the Wizards. His response is interesting.

    More likely that Durant is saying "wait on it" in reference to his own commercial. He's endorsed by Skullcandy. He probably doesn't even realize how it looks in relation to a return to Washington.

    I doubt he'd come out and say "just wait I'm totally gonna come back to Washington" on twitter like that.

    That's what I would be betting on. I don't think Morey should even try to go for Durant. It's either going to be OKC or DC.

    With ties to Texas and his best bud on the team? You have to try.
