    Let's say you have trade one of these 2. Who do you keep? Westbrook 4th straight triple double with 49 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists...

    I'm probably in the minority, but I think Durant's career is questionable with that foot issue. It's a major problem that people are ignoring.

    Wesbrook is putting up crazy numbers.

    This is the only reason I would consider choosing WB over KD. Otherwise, it's a no-brainer.

    foot issues are bad for 7 foot centers, but durant is not built like them.

    I think it's not too long ago we would have said the same thing about Westbrook's knee.

    Someone made a Jones fracture success rate chart. Being 7 feet didn't really matter too much. I wish I could find that chart.

    Jones fracture is completely different than Westbrook's knee issues.

    Westbrook is putting up video game numbers!

    His usage is sky high and he isn't very efficient.

    I have to go with Durant though. More efficient and a track record of carrying his teams to victories. Westbrook has had some amazing performances but some of them resulted in loses or very competitive games against iffy teams.

    When you have 2 of the 3 best players in the game, you keep them both. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are. They're both equally untouchable.

    Westbrook's contract is almost twice the length of Durant's at this point

    Come on, man. Durant is one of the most efficient NBA players in the league, and last year's MVP.

    Russell Westbrook's style of play is not sustainable at all. Look at Derrick Rose. No one's knees can take this level of punishment from all the cutting and changing directions. Your body is just not built to do this over the long run.

    Westbrook will break down within 5 years. You can bet on that.

    Westbrook is playing great

    but OKC is not playing particularly well. He hasn't shown that these numbers are translating into win yet

    So ill still take Kevin every time

    If the question is which would have more success without the other, the answer is crystal clear.




    James Harden

    not so sure about that. rose plays with a lot more torque. westbrook straight up B lines his drives. also westbrook had never missed a game in his basketball career (on any level) before bev took his knees out. hes a tough moro
