[ESPN / Watkins] James Harden will play lead role in recruitment of Kevin Durant

Our #1 Target should be Ryan Anderson
Then DJ Augustine...
We need guys who can actually play and shoot for Christmas sake!!

KD is a pipe dream! I would ask him if he wants to come here and spend no more than 1 minute in courtship, then move on

 

You say that, but here they are losing to a horrible Houston team and its been a theme for them playing like **** all season long in the 4th.

If we get Thibs, Dwight leaves, would that be enough?

 

KD doesn't want to come here only to play second banana to Sam Dekker.

 

You add Durant to this team, and maybe a scoring big man, and a defensively minded coach - this team could contend.

I've been really impressed with McDaniels, Capela, Beasley.

Beverley looks immensely improve and has returned to form.

Get rid of Brewer, Jones, and Howard - and this team has potential.

watch at :59 and tell me Bev didn't just say Durant was going to be here.

 

Video is not loading for me. The header is there, but... Was it taken down?

 

The only team he'll cop flack like that for going to is Golden State.

 

Just watched it and he didn't say anything that could be even be interpreted that way.

 

Nope. He just said that the Thunder have two of the best ISO players in the league.

 

The Rockets plan to team Aldridge & Durant.... Didn't you get the tweet?

 

Dwight would be a player Thibs would want for defensive purposes. He thinks he can motivate Dwight the right way.

 

Yea he would in that scenario too (probably the most beta thing he could ever do but at least he has a ring incentive there)...but make no mistake he hates Beverly and the media portrayal of the situation expects him to. Its just so improbable on so many levels, not worth discussing.

 

A nice try.

 

Durant is not coming. Maybe if he was a free agent after LAST season. Not now. Not ever. Guy has his pick of the entire league and will get the max wherever he goes. He wants a ring. There aren't going to be any rings here for a long time. He'd have to be as dumb as a rock to even consider here, no matter how many personal connections we throw at him.

 

With money, harden, shooters with that money, young talent, and vets flocking to come play with durant and harden, and to top it off Thibs. This team would be ready to contend. Not toooo far fetched. No income tax. Big market. I believe.

 

LOL at all the keyboard psychics in here.

We have as good a shot as anyone.

 

Okc or here are his best options. He knows GS would be viewed as a p***y move and NY isn't winning

 

Why the hell would KZLA's Meghan Miles be sucking dick for crack in our hood?

 

I'm sorry...but please explain :grin:.

This has to be one of the best responses I've ever read.
