three teams that made the playoffs that year are now complete blown up garbage (Mavs, Pelicans, Rockets). Blazers won 51 and Grizz won 55 and I still think OKCs current roster can hang with both of them as long as the Thunder get a wing player worth a damn

Westbrook and Ibaka both missed double digit games that year as well. In fact, they started off like 2-13. The Thunder are probaly still at least a 5 seed in the West of Westbrook stays. The hope is he enjoys being the alpha dog (he really always has been) and stays. They have cap room to add another player if they can do so. If the Lakers weren't run by idiots then he might go there, but I'm not sure that happens unless their young players show a lot. Boston really seems like the destination.
I really never bought the Durant/Golden State rumors as it pretty much went against everything he has said the last 9 years. My only real problem is the reports of him hanging out with Draymond during the playoffs. Whatever, he made a decision and I can't say it's a bad one. I think he was influenced by other factors and people around him which is why he hasn't win a title to this point. As great as KD is he's not a leader. That tells me OKC was never winning a title with him and he indeed made the best choice. I'm not hating as I got out of OKC when I had an opportunity myself. KD is a good guy, did a lot for the City, and was always what you would want an athlete to be when I've been around him. I just hope he made this choice for himself, and not others because this decision seemed way out of character. It was a pleasure watching this team over the years and I'll hope they can salvage it in some way. They pretty much did all you can do but win it all and it was a blast to be at those games. I only wish the Chiefs could have a run like this in my lifetime
That being said....**** Golden.State in their millenial bitch asses.
