Replace Durant for Lebron in OKC

[Rodmantheman]

From 2011-14 how many rings do OKC win? Lebron Westbrook combo would be nice to see.

[JohnFreeman]

All the rings

[Rodmantheman]

All the rings

not this year.

[Rodmantheman]

Lebron + Mini Lebron

[To4]

Not really, I prefer durant cuz he can bomb 3's like a madman..

[TheReal Kendall]

Zero

[zoom17]

I think the same has the Heat two.

So does Durant go to Heat with Wade and Bosh?

yeah got any predictions.

2011-Won't happen. Don't think Westbrook/Harden/Ibaka were ready and Dallas befuddles LeBron in the CF similar to the Finals.
2012-By far the best chance. I think they do win it all this year.
2013-Lose due to Westbrook injury.
2014-Lose due to Ibaka injury through first 2 games against SA.

Pretty much this.

LeBron would have won one title, at most, with Oklahoma City because he would not have gotten by San Antonio with a hobbled Ibaka and without Russell Westbrook for all but two games in the playoffs last year, so that means no titles for either 2013 or 2014.

We already saw what type of epic meltdown he had against Dallas in the 2011 NBA finals, so we can scratch that off the list with no chance of winning a title that year.

That leaves the only possible championship season as 2012 when, ironically, those two teams faced each other. It is hard to say which team would have won if those two superstars had switched teams just because that Oklahoma City team was so ridiculously young and may not have been purged want to championship even with LeBron.

So the answer is, maybe one at most or possibly zero.

All 4 years, easily.

Pretty much this but in 2012 do the Heat still have LeBron? Because we saw how that series went. Nobody on OKC besides Durant and Westbrook showed up and everyone else on Miami showed up.

If the Heat still have LeBron then OKC with LeBron would be ringless.

hard to forecast but would clearly be a massive upgrade for okc
