Yep. Especially with Presti making another team a contender from his own mistake.
With all this Dwight talk and other misc. going on the thunders off season has been overshadowed. They lost their only bench scorer, chimpbrook is coming off a serious injury and Durant has a new agent in jay z filling his head with larger market teams to go to in the next couple years. can we officially say this team is pretty much done?
Yep. Especially with Presti making another team a contender from his own mistake.
they were never a contender. in their best season ever, they got anally raped by miami.
The biggest concern for them is how chuckbrick looks after that surgery... it's clear they need an alpha out there making Durant his before another team does...
I still think they're going to trade Perkins if they can find a sucker to take him...
Depends on how lamb does taking over martin's role. I think Durant leaves later
It's a 52 card pickup sitch. Westbrook ain't gonna be happy second on the marquee. He's going to want to be 50/50 or better with Durant. And he's gonna be pissed at Beverly. That ain't over.
They'll founder quickly. Whether they sink is the unknown.
Thunderefs
Presti building le contenders everywhere except OKC
Durant bolting as soon as he can
Westbrick probably also bolting
Trading Harden for garbage
Kevin Martin bolting for Minnesota

Can we just pencil Spurs and Clippers in the WCF already??
I can see the Spurs there, but, the Clippers? Aside from Paul they've not a player that can bust a move and a get a shot at command and he's notorious for packing his bags and heading for the side door when the booty holes be gettin' tight.
Depending on how Westbrook recovers. But yeah, Presti ed up any hope this team had with that trade. Martin bolting just made it that much worse. When does KD hit free agency?
I think it will be the spurs and the thunder in the WCF next year.
They're still a perennial playoff team but no longer a le contender, and the team will eventually cease to exist when Durant gets bored of playing there and decides to move elsewhere. trading harden for the one year rental of Martin was even more dubious than blewing up a champion squad by letting TC walk imho. at least we won a ring before getting ed.
Does it even matter who shows up in San Antonio next April? They're gonna be dead in the water. The Spurs are set and set up.
Don't even try that ing stunt, late Sunday nite after the 4th and everything. What happened in Dallas after you rang is tantamount to a criminal act.
Straighten up, Roguey, get your narrow ass up and erase the bolded part of your post.

Really just depends on how they compensate the loss of KMart. Lamb, Jones and Jackson all have potential.
Funny how they had their climb (every year got better) and now after their finals appearance it is now the descent tbh...
That series was horrible, after that and this years games vs the HEAT THANK GOD that was not the finals again! I did not want to see that again. Worst finals in years.
So anyone think Durant's gonna return home to play with John Wall in DC in 2016?
Amazing how quickly things change in the NBA. A year ago they looked like they'd be a team to win multiple les. I mean how do you not with Durant, Harden, and Westbrook lol. And now Harden's the best SG in the league, Perkins sucks, and Abaka was exposed without Cripplebrook on the floor.
LOL trading prime James Harden for Jeremy Lamb, Perry Jones III, and some honkey center.
& Media let's you off the hook, like Rivers quittin' on the Celtics.
Just shows ta go ya.
Surprising considering the media was all over this guy preaching loyalty. It'll be interesting to see how CP3 responds this season. I don't trust his health tbh. He's never had a healthy season in a long time. Heck Tony Parker with all the mileage has been healthy throughout his career.
They're ed if you are talking championship aspirations...out west not so much as people make it out to be. They are a bad matchup for the Spurs. They'll be the team that stands in the way of a finals appearance imo.
The saddest part of the story is that last year's OKC team, with the Quad i7 core consisting of Durant, Westchuck, Harden and Ibaka would be seriously challenging Miami within 2 years from now, and would probably make a dynasty of themselves when Lebron and the Heat start to go downhill.
thunder were never serious threat out west, they were nothing but fodder team buying some time for the spurs to cure that premature ejaculation for the last 6 years,
