whitesoxfan99 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) One thing about the Durant thing I've missed. Could Oklahoma City have paid him as much the next two years as GSW? My obvious guess is 'yes' with the new cap space, etc., but I was wondering. I'm still very shocked about this. I'm trying to figure out what Durant was thinking in spurning OKC for GSW if money was the same basically. Durant and Westbrook should have won this year. So much for the "can't win in OKC argument." They simply blew that series. If they stayed healthy next year, it probably would have been OKC's turn. Reading Durant's article he said he needed this personally to leave his comfort zone and go play somewhere else. Assuming he didn't just make that up and means it, I don't know what that means. True he's the mayor of OKC so to speak, but living in his skin isn't exactly "comfortable." His team choked in the playoffs and figured to be one of the favorites in the West next year. All I can figure is he truly believes OKC didn't have the team to beat GSW and the Cavs anytime soon. It sure seems like this was a simple decision of picking Curry/Klay over Westbrook/Oladipo. That's not cool. I think OKC woulda won it next year. This decision means Durant didn't feel the same way. There isn't much to think about. He decided to take the easy way out and join the team that would basically guarantee him a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Is the Bulls interest in Dwayne Wade due to them thinking they can leverage Wade and Butler to land Westbrook or a real star? Or do they think he is a longer term piece? I have to presume it is for his recruiting pitching (and of course the fact that he's a solid player) but not the guy I want tying up cap space on unless we could get a real impact signing (Westbrook or some "star" equivalent).

It's that they legitimately think he can help them win a championship because they are idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw an article that quotes a Durant insider saying he grew frustrated with Westbrook and not having a guard pass to him when he's open. Too many contested shots. I had a feeling he might not have been thrilled with Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
