    Lou to the Thunder would make me sad.

    Also - Lou just can't seem to stay in one place for longer than 6 months. Sucks for that guy.

    Please make this happen Presti! I’d love this for the drama and on the court since Adams is more valuable!

    Thunder are positioning themselves to be on the market for Lebron James...They are a real threat. If they can have an expiring contracts...they become that much dangerous.

    Why would Lebron even want to play next to someone like Westbrick that makes everyone he plays with look worse?

    I'm guessing Lou Will is going to the Thunder. Damn.

    A core of Lebron, George and Westbrook is elite...Lebron always looks at business decisions first.

    Well first of all, George is gone, there's no way he's sticking around but even if we suspend disbelief for a while, that would mean the Thunder would have 86 million dollars wrapped up in Westbrick, Melo, and George, it's kind of hard to see them adding Lebron even if he was foolish enough to want to waste the rest of his productive career in Oklahoma.

    Exactly, players that look really good elsewhere look worse in OKC due to the Westbrick effect.

    Why is that any better than a core of Lebron, Harden and CP3?

    Obviously it will depend somewhat on who we can keep and what salary we would have to shed to create cap space, but we would most likely have better role players too

    adams is the best thing OKC has going.

    and if you think their defense has fallen off since roberson's injury, just wait till lou steps on the floor for them lol. his shot selection turns to unbelievable crap when he isn't the main guy.

    i'm all for this trade just for the laughs to come

    Superstars dictate things in this league. If Lebron today told PG to stay...George would stay. They could easily move on from DeAndre and other expiring... You first get your superstars...and then surround them with cheap contracts.

    This move is all about Presti positioning the team to be in the sweepstakes...Then the decision is about what Lebron wants for a chance at a title. Sure Houston would be a great match as well, but then it is all about Lebron making a decision for himself. Also, wouldnt be surprised if they trade Melo in a deal to get DeAndre and Lou...

    Paul George, Lebron and Westbrook get to link up in the Allstar game...shall see what happens.

    Before Westbrook re-signed in okc, I thought Lebron, George and Westbrook to the Lakers was a sure thing.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if Lebron signs with okc. Chris Paul will be 33 this summer, while George and Westbrook are still in their late 20’s.

    LeBron isn’t going to willingly spend his free time in OKC.

    Getting Lebron here in Houston is also gonna cost us talent...we will most likely loose Gordon, Capela, and maybe Ariza(he may stick around)...

    The Thunder will have the same situation.
