Russell Westbrook has signed a five-year, $78 million-plus max extension with Oklahoma City, league sources tell Y! Sports. Story soon on Y!
Dang...That guy would have looked good in purple & gold...
OKC
Chucker
Decision making
Overrated
16m per?
Hmm, dunno if he worth that much. Not only that, he seems to have an at ude problem, and he is also not in very good terms with Durant.
Lol, overpaid tbh
He's worth half that much.
Horrible decision by OKC. He might be the reason they never win it all. I don't understand how they think he is a good fit for the long term.
And KD will leave that ship because of Westbrook
Durant is locked in for the next five seasons too. If Westbrook becomes enough of a problem that Durant becomes unhappy they will trade him.
Speaking of that...this could be the beginning of the future S&T that brings Blake Griffin back to his hometown.
Good for OKC to get him locked down. They have a championship core that's got tons of good years ahead of it.
KD is now locked down with Westbrick for years to come.
Westbrook is not worth 16m, but OKC has to lock down their core regardless of price.
Now imagine if Griffin decided to play with OKC
I'm with bum. I know we both are Bruins and maybe a tad biased ...butthe kid has come a long way. i wasnt sure he was good enough to be an NBA SG, much less a PG his first year and sure, he likes to cal his own number a bit much, but the guy has gotten better every year. He plays hard and hustles as much as Rondo and only Rose and Wall compare athletically ...
I think that is a bit much but were the Thunder going to lure Cp3 or even Blake to come back to OKC? Unlikely. The question is if Harden keeps improving at the rate he is will they have enough to sign James? And is their owner willing to go over the cap to do so? Perk is also making nice money and Ibaka eventually need to be signed as well.
I honestly don't think it's too bad a deal. They'll be clearing $8.25 million off their books with the expiring contracts of Robinson and Mohammed this summer, and then they can cut almost $5 million off the summer after by letting Aldrich and Maynor walk and replacing their minimal production with cheap vets looking for a ring. Presti has done a masterful job setting that team up to le threat for a long time.
Can KD and Westbrook continue to coexist? I'm not too sure they can.
I think the frustration that KD has with Russ is media and fan driven. I have not watched a "ton" of OKC games that are not nationally televised, but they seem to be fine.
Durant has looked to facilitate more this year and he is looking to feed Westbrook.
I do think the Simmon's Avon & stringer comparison to be funny, but not accurate.
They'll get Hardin re-signed but they will let Ibaka walk. I'm pretty sure they already have their eyes fixed on Griffin, whose contract comes up at the same time Ibaka's does.
I haven't watched a lot either, tbh. I guess I might have bought into the media hype. It seemed that there was a bit of tension last year in the playoffs. I also think that Westbrook should defer a little more to KD. Westbrook, at times, tries to do too much.
They won't be anywhere close to having the capspace to lure Griffin even if they renounce their rights to both Ibaka and Harden, so Blake to OKC isn't happening. They will definitely re-up Ibaka and then either let Perkins walk or re-sign him cheap the next summer when his deal is up.
No way they sign him to this deal without KD's blessing. Maybe Bill S is right and this ends badly but if it does, KD would be partailly to blame because he could of told management to trade him for a "Rondo" pass first type PG...
Simmons is funny, but I don't ever trust his predictions. Remember the hard-on he had for years for the Suns?
Mistake. Not worth it. They could not resing either Harden or Ibaka.
That mf'er is annoyingly obnoxious and ALWAYS wrong. He's the kind of tool that Kevin dreams to be.Simmons is funny, but I don't ever trust his predictions. Remember the hard-on he had for years for the Suns?
I agree he is wrong a lot. And he reads too much in to body language and the like. He sees a sour look on a players face after a play and he is looking for some type pop analogy that fits. I think he is funny. But I think he should dial back some of his homer stuff. I dont trust anything he writes about the Sox, Pats, Celts or Bruins. A-rod, Peyton, Eli, Kobe, Kareem (he loves Magic), the Colts, Giants, Yanks or Lakers.
and man, considereing all the sports he watches how the can he watch that much reality T.V.? and stuff like the wire, mad men and Breaking Bad? He also has two kids and a dog I get he doesnt have a 9 to 5 but I admit im jealous of his lifestyle ...
Presti is thinking ahead. Some team desparate for a "star" will probably trade several good complimentary players to OKC for him a year or two down the road.
