Re: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will NEVER win a championship together.
main issue with them is they only have 2 guys in there starting lineup who can make plays and put the ball on the floor. Ibaka is only useful for pick and pop jumpers can't put the ball on the floor or post up when they get switches. Adams is good for offensive rebounding and Roberson is worst offensive starting guard in the league. There offense is so predictable and they hold ball too much. They don't get a lot of easy baskets and I thought Donovan would change is offensive system. I know they are what second in the league in offense, but if u watch teams like Atlanta warriors or Spurs the movement on offense is so much better. They either need to change there starting lineup, put waiters in there. Or I personally believe they need to make a trade for a 2 guard.

Okay.....well, can you explain why Durant was so successful with an even worse roster during his MVP season while Westbrook was out with injury?

Form is temporary
Re: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will NEVER win a championship together.
They will once Durant becomes Pippen to Westbrook's Jordan.

It's too late for this to happen, but what could OKC get for Westbrook if they had a guarantee from Durant he was staying? What would make sense for that team?
You can't trade him for Paul, and you need a good PG in return, so not teams like the Knicks, Lakers or 76ers. At this point, you can't rely on Presti drafting a PG to develop.

No way Westbrook gets traded. Who do you think they would get for him

He won't get traded, but it sounds like some Thunder fans and ISHites would trade him if they were Presti (and Durant stayed).

Love his energy and explosiveness. He can really break down a defense. Maybe like Harden he needs his own team and Durant needs a different kind of PG? But will that help keep the rest of the team involved or do then not have the right players around WB and Durant?
Thing is they made the finals as 22/23 year olds, beating SA in four straight, and made another WCF. So it's not like they can't contend.

Nothing personal but it's complement.

They also had James Harden on that team and he was very important piece. When Westbrook would start all that crazy shit that he does from time to time.....Coach Brooks would put the ball in Harden's hands and let him run the offense. It worked out great because Harden made good decisions with the ball and played with pace, not 100mph like Westbrook does.
And that goes to your question about having the right players around KD and WB. Those players or player have to be really good in order to take the ball out of their hands. I think it would help having a game managing point guard and moving Westbrook to the SG spot.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I wonder why Presti is so convinced to keep Westbrook and point and hasn't acquired a starting PG.
Have the right game manging PG with those two scorers at SG/SF. Man that could be deadly.
