Westbrook needs to go

[jzek]

How much more proof do you need before realizing Westbrook is holding back Durant? He needs to go for someone that will willingly pass the ball to Durant... someone like, you know, Rajon Rondo?

Win for the Celtics
Win for the Thunder
Win for the fans

This is all good in the regular season, but Westbrook's value is seen in the playoffs. Refs more likely to swallow their whistles when physical defense is played, and we've already seen Durant chucking away as the sole offensive option won't cut it.

OKC NEEDS an elite second scoring option, not a passer.

Aren't OKC 21-4 when Westbrook plays?

[GoranDragon]

No. Westbrook is 1b. to Durant 1a. on the Thunders.

[JohnFreeman]

Westbrook is better in the playoffs then Durant

[All Net]

OKC need Westbrook to win titles going forward. Durant can

This this this.

KD is basically playing the Lebron on Cavs role right now...come playoff time, KD will need Westbrook if he wants to succeed. just enjoy the play he is giving us now, entertaining for the very least...and let the business end come back into play for playoff time with a healthy Westbrook and KD

[wang4three]

Yup one guy scoring consistently 40+ a game is a viable strategy for winning the championship.

[Fazotronic]

what about the possibility that durant just got better the last couple month, weeks...???

[NumberSix]

Sorry. We've seen what KD does in the playoffs without Westbrook.

Not saying this would be a good idea for OKC, but in fairness we've also all seen what Rondo tends to do in the playoffs; triple doubles damn near every game.

I think Westbrook has higher value than Rondo overall but Rondo goes beast mode every single playoffs I've seen him in. I could also see him pairing up fairly well with Durant based on each of their skill-sets.

Only problem would be if Durant god-forbid went down...then they'd be in trouble. Having Westbrook provides some "insurance" offensively (scoring) which Rondo would not.

It seemed like they needed him during the Grizzlies series in the playoffs last year .

[Marlo_Stanfield]

the player who is realiable when people are allowed to actually play real defense should go??? durant wont play in a vacuum in the playoffs so u might regret sending WB away when that happens

Except of course Rondo has understandably looked like garbage since tearing his ACL.
