    Trade Kanter and throw-ins for Melo.

      They printed an article in OKC with KD on the front page calling him mr unreliable.

      Betcha they're scared as crap to offend westbrook like that right now.

      LeBron knows what its like to get trashed in the media so he left Cleveland.... but there's alot of butt kissing right now.

      The wolves will definitely come if things remain the same.
      Oh I wasn't even talking about the one from the other night. That's nothing to me.

      Gimme a couple mins, I pull up some stuff from some years back when he was catching ****. The Triple Doubles just "quieted" the noise for now, lol

        They need a legit primary or secondary option who you can stagger minutes with Westbrook so the offense doesn't go to ****. And a backup point guard.

        George Hill wouldn't be a bad fit since can spot up off the ball but also create his own shots. He and Westbrook are both big enough to play the two nowadays. That's a lot of money for Hill, though.

          Depends on how much he values winning vs averaging a triple dub and being a victim.

          If he repeats these stats next year, with no other player having a season like that that, and his team has close to the same record, does he win MVP again?

            They need an offense. It's RWB either taking the shot without a single pass or driving to draw help and then a shot after one pass... bunch of guys freestyling when he's on the bench.

              He's eligible to sign a $220 Mil extension this summer.

              He'd be the boldest athlete I know if he were to turn down that much money(his endorsements ain't getting him that much) especially since he can't get that anywhere else.

                    Whut? Surely if Dull Harden and Cupcake Durant can finesse nike and adidas out of 200 mill then the medias screaming husky mvp darling can get something right?


                    That was the original intent of the CBA, to entice players to stay where they are... i dont think it will work 100 percent of the time though.

                      The last one didn't work and that was only with a $30 Mil difference. That's a number that can be made up(depending on what you move).

                      $75-80 Mil...that's not easy to make just make up unless Mountain Dew is paying him that much. I don't even his Shoes move that well or nowhere near what guys like Harden and Durant move. I don't even know who the biggest mover on the Jordan Brand is right now? Maybe Melo or Blake?

                        I thought Russ signed an extension this summer.

                          I'd say Melo sells better because he actually has his own line. CP3 is probably ahead too. I dunno what Blake has, he's the poster boy for the Super.Fly but that isn't much, Westbrook has a lifestyle line but nothing on court, although he does wear a 30/31 hybrid, those aren't for sale I don't think.

                          Definitely not enough for him to leave town although if he wins MVP I'm sure he'll pick up a few new sponsors. I heard Pepsi need guys.

                                I hope some dudes dumb headline at the Oklahomian that he ended up apologising for isn't what we're labeling as 'turning on' KD is it?

                                There had to be something else right? Lol
