Dame has been the best player in the post season thus far.POR is playing awesome in the postseason. Don’t think we would have beat them.
OKC needs an overhaul.
At least we aren't OKC paying a zillion dollars to get smoked by a shorthanded Portland
I brought this up with some guys at the gym the other day. What if..... OKC traded Russell and PG to the Lakers for a record haul
Think about it - Westbrook has done nothing for OKC on his own. Despite all the triple doubles, Adams being a beast, PG playing really well, and everybody staying healthy, they can't win a series or be a home playoff team. If either guy ever left OKC, it would probably be for LA.
Ball, Kuzma, Ingram, Hart, and 4 1st round picks for those two
Would you do it if you were OKC? I think LA would do it for sure. They are that desperate.
The Lakers are dumb enough to do that trade for 1 of them.... and if I was the gm of OKC, it would be westbrook.
You dont build around kuzma lolYep. The Lakers have to do something and if the Thunder crash out of the playoffs again, the grumbles will begin. If OKC were to fail to reach the 2nd round next year, I think they would be begging for a trade opportunity like the one I'm throwing out there. The more the years go by, the less value Russell and PG will have if they can't work together to go anywhere.
Most OKC fans would riot at the idea of trading those two. However, if I was an OKC fan, I demand the biggest pick haul in NBA history and build around Adams, Kuzma and a boatload of picks. I would probably trade Ingram for value somewhere else and maybe Ball too.
