    I think everyone would ditch Brew in a heartbeat. Attach a second rounder if need be.

    Ariza, Capela and Beasley ($1 million TO) would be a good squad off the bench. Just need to find a couple backup guards and then fill out the rest with vets.

    But if u have to weigh options how far would
    Kd/horford/harden go vs
    Green/klay/curry/+ a whiteside??
    Vs
    Kawhi/lma/parker
    Vs
    Lebron/kyrie/love
    Id say thats #2 behind warriors tied for 2 with spurs depending on our coach. If u get conley with durant i but us slightly below warriors. If we get russ the following year i put us right with warriors

    I couldn't say. With Durant, you'd have a dynamic scorer who can play the 3 and 4. Bev and Ariza would add defense to the line-up, or we could alternatively try and sign a pick-and-pop 4 vet to start (Bass?). He'd be an alpha that Harden would respect and I'd imagine Harden would give up some of the playmaking. Horford can be our stretch 5 or he could be a big PF next to Capela.

    Ariza, Beas, Capela off the bench. Sig a vet backup point (Nelson? Udrih? Augustin?) and put some money into a guy like Courtney Lee. We'd absolutely need a coach who could bring all these ingredients together. Vogel?

    Don't understand why Durant wants to be in Houston as Harden is not much better than Westbrook.

    His main point was that Durant would never come here given the state of the team which we all have to agree with. He threw the coach part in there for kicks but this thread isn't about coaches. It's about Durant.

    Here we go again with the delusionals. 2015-2016 all over again. "You're just a contrarian. Youre trolling. 60 wins. Meaningless preseason. Neg repped."

    Nothing delusional. You're just way, way, waaaay over the top with the negativity.

    For one I'd argue Harden is better just slightly. Westbrook puts up slightly gaudier stats... But a PG that can rebound amazingly does nothing for me. You want them to box out, grab the occasional board but that's not their job. Westbrook runs around like a chicken with his head cut off way too much.

    Regardless of which of those two is better, OKC has the better supporting cast bar none.

    So if Durant would come here it would only be in conjunction with signing someone else big. Like Conley.

    But it's very unlikely.

    Is it my imagination or does it seem like Durant is slowing down?

    Harden > Westbrook. Far more efficient and a superior closer.
