    Perkins and Thabo are waiving at you.

    I just realised, you could almost say it's as bad as the future of okc in 900 odd days

    On the bright side, Presti has shown evidence of being the best low digit lottery drafter in the business.

    I understand why most Rockets fans hate OKC. They sent you home and Durant loves torching your team.

    But Rockets fans need to understand...even with all your "improvements" OKC is still the better team. In 2 weeks, OKC will make that very clear to you

    Its funny how Grapenuts is talking out his ass when he has never had to go through bad OKC seasons... I'm sure he became a fan when they first made playoff rather than when they had to draft top 5 3 years in a row. Just wait till they start sucking and when Durant and Westbrook leave, Grapenuts is not even gonna be a fan during that time.



    Presti has no clue what he is doing. He can't get good pieces around Brook and Durant.

    Durant and Westbrook alone can't win a championship, especially in the west.
    Its funny when OKC fans think that they are better w/ Lamb and The other tall dude and not Harden.

    Harden = Westbrook - Defense Effort at all times + Smarter Offense

    If Harden just puts in defensive effort, he is better than Westbrook hands down.

    Aren't too many readily available veteran scorers they could trade for nowadays.... at least not someone that will ever replace Harden's playmaking off the bench.

    I dont know why Presti keeps on trying to recreate that magic. Its not going to happen.

    The biggest thing the Thunder can do to move forward successfully with the core they have is to bite the bullet and move Ibaka to the 5 spot, and amnesty Perkins. Westbrook, and Durant need to be in constant pick and rolls with Ibaka in the middle. They are too great of players to have their talents wasted in the crappy sets Brooks runs out on the floor. Let your best players be the best players. Stop making life more difficult for those guys.

    I said at the time that what OKC should have done is traded Harden for a solid PF like Josh Smith (at the time) to play next to Ibaka. They could still very well get Millsap with the assets they have.

    It took the Rockets all of 5 games to give up on the twin towers concept and Asik is miles better than Perkins any day of the week. Why its taken years for the Thunder to grasp the concept is beyond me. Ibaka is their center. He's NOT a PF.... deal with it.

    And then single handily destroyed that team with a terrible trade (yes it's not his fault the owners are cheap) but their are other ways he could of gone about it.

    Yeah... that or all of the death threats and petulant behavior, and the existence of Kendrick Perkins.

    In the future, OKC will be looking back at that playoff run as the year the wheels fell off the bandwagon.

    LMFAO.
    How many times did Morey get a top 5 pick 3 years in a row?
    How many losing seasons has Morey even had?
    How many times do you say "Morey got Moreyed". He basically got Harden and Howard out of Role Players. Presti couldn't even get something great in return for a star (Harden).


    Nobody can stop him, just contain.
