:lol Derick Fisher two of your last acquisitions

:lol letting a top 5 scorer go to play Cuban Cap Game

:lol Already being stuck in neutral when you are painfully far from the top

He's definitely got some pussy in him. Westbrook will try to topple him, but, Media will strive mightily to disallow such. Durant is juiced in and under the protection of NY..

Lebron never had a player like Westbrook on his team. But I do agree with you in that they are not getting acquiring the pieces necessary in order for the the Thunder to contend. They need a big that can rebound and another scorer (preferably a sg) to compete with the best in the league.

OKC might be even worse than Cavs imho. Cavs hadn't got any top-tier talents outside of Lebron, they tried to get the best players but would always end up with shitty contracts stuck in their hands. Maybe the Cavs' FO was not smart enough to make the right moves but they tried to do their best at least, they piled up a huge payroll and paid considerable tax through the process but still failed to reach the promised land due to bad luck. While OKC traded one of their best players only to avoid the tax, and it wasn't like Harden could not co-exist with his teammates. I bet the Cavs would've kept the young core intact whatever the price if they were in OKC's place.

tbh OKC blew up a champion team before that team could win a championship. Cavs were just a lottery team without lebron, to which the team's performance in the post-Lebron era was a solid testament.

young Kevin def had more talent around him at a ridiculous young age that LeBron would have dominated championships with

But I mean right now at this moment. The Thunder seem to be taking Durant for granted and surrounding him with crap, tbh :lol
Whatever happened to Presti being the savior? :lol

Mo Williams wasn't the alpha of the Cavs while Westbrook is for the Thunder even though talent should show Durant shouldn't be a beta. The talent is there in OKC but the front office is too stupid on how to capitalize it (amnestying Perkins, giving max to Harden, LOL passing on Chandler after the physical, drafting scrub after scrub).

Tbh, when Ferry realized he had done a crap job at building around a superstar he went back to San Antonio to get refresher lessons from Pop and RC... he's been doing work in Atlanta ever since.

Come back, Sam. We'll let you stew for a year while you contemplate how cheap Bennett is.

Russell is no more an Alpha than Arenas was a franchise player.

Westbrick will be the alpha of OKC as long as he's there. Durant is a beta trying to play as the #1 guy, Lebron was Beta and forced to be an alpha by the media and he called it, IDK if Durant will. If it were not for the Mavs Lebron would be known as the 2nd banana with Wade's 2 FMVP's, tbh.

Not really.... after whiffing on Dwight and CP3 (which was a waste of his time since it was never gonna happen), instead of tanking, he overpaid for Paul Millsap and is now trying to get Monta Ellis and/or Brandon Jennings :lol

People asked more from LeBron playing with a lot of less talent around him. Durant never was criticized like LBJ

LeBron gets less credit for whatever he wins because he has more talent than the rest of the league. Best since MJ.

Originally it was supposed to be Ricky Davis. Then Boozer, then Larry Hughes, and finally Mo Williams. An illustrious group.
