    re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

    We need that OKC 30 for 30, centered around James Harden being traded.

      Huh? How were OKC not capable of anything? Taking GSW to 3-1 isn't being capable? It could have gone either way.

      Sorry man but this makes no sense.

          I don't believe OKC blew the Durant era. Are we really to believe Durant, Westbrook, and the Harden we know now, could all coexist?

            Well you show me where they made it back to the Finals after Harden left and I'll change my statement.

            OKC as you knew it is done. No ibaka, no Durant, no Harden, not even Perkins


            What they gonna do now?

            Aint no 3 superstars going to run to clay freaking bennett

              Did OKC win? That's the point.

              Almost. Should've. Could've. It means nothing. OKC almost should've could've won three rings in the past five years. They didn't.

              When you look back, that's what matters. They weren't capable of finishing the job.

                Yes THIS year ..of course they're done. But they were very capable when Durant was on the team and last year showed it. Yes they blew a 3-1 lead, but that doesn't mean they weren't capable. That's all i'm saying.

                  Frankly, I think this was dumb from GS side.

                  You just grew a international superstar and your gonna nerf him by putting Durant out there with him? When you already have Klay?

                  Frankly they didn't need a guy that could drop 30. They have 2 or 3 of those guys already.

                  They needed a dude to defend hard and hit corner threes when open.

                    I never said that they won. I said they were CAPABLE of winning. That was the argument. They were very CAPABLE when Durant was on the team, and if he was still there, they'd be right back in it next year contending.

                      Agreed. They needed more of a big man honestly.

                        You gotta at least try.

                        Durant. Harden. Westbrook. Ibaka.

                        They had what Golden State is flaunting now.

                        No guarantee that teams wins a championship but you're not helping Durant convince himself to stay when every other year you're chipping away at that team.

                          What could OKC realistically get for WB on his final year of his contract ?

                            In a perfect world it sounds great. But Harden wanted to do his own thing, and he wanted more money.

                            I can't envision that ever working out.

                            3 dudes playing ISO ball?

                            I really think Oladipo was the missing ingredient, but we'll never know.

                              Probably a lot especially if the team trading for him can get an agreement for him to sign a contract extension.

                                If Durant were to retire tomorrow from injury before he went to GS, this would be one of the worst trains of thinking ever

                                Lots of teams are capable. Nobody trying to keep taking L's just being capable.


                                What kind of garbage are you trying to pass off?

                                They'd be right there next year, and now he'll have an even greater chance to be in the finals now.

                                No Harrison Basura to sabotage the offense

                                No Ezeli faking like he's a basketball player when he's really just a tall person

                                Green is back

                                No more Bogut tearing up his knees on thin air


                                KDs chances have gone up monumentally and all you wanna talk about is that iso ball is capable.


                                There was no promise of them making the finals again and you know what?

                                THEY NEVER MADE IT BACK TO THE FINALS.. 9 OF 10 YEARS
