@GrapeNUTZ dont be. you know how hard it is to beat a team three times in a row. no matter how bad the team is. and houston is a playoff team. led by a good player
i think the development of serge and russell could make us a better team overall than the heat. as of now they are better. but its obvious scott brooks has chosen a traditional lineup, with perkins and serge getting a majority of the minutes at 4 and 5 position. I think it will work out in the long run against the heats small ball (kind of like how it works for the pacers against the heat)
@cemitten @Bryson @Lost Ones umm what perk acts tough to everyone. you gotta include perk and russell before KD... i mean c'mon mannnnnnn
@MisterJohnsonOKC @cleandoe if training with lebron makes him any better at basketball or helps him understand lebrons game than im all for it (it does)
@cleandoe The thunder are winning all the sport. The thunder are breaking up with Heather Graham because we need our space
@ou_sas @justin_mia @TRICaintShort4Tricia below the surface 95% of perkins mass has not yet been revealed
@justin_mia @TRICaintShort4Tricia @ou_sas I believe the proper term for that is "Packing on mass"
@TRICaintShort4Tricia @ou_sas Im going to bring the epic I told you so after next season when the Yung Hawg gets amnestied then. Maybe Cole aldridge will step up one of these years
@TRICaintShort4Tricia @ou_sas Haha im ready for the epic I told you so. I actually enjoy perkins as well. He was the physical anchor that led us to a shot at the title. I just dont think theres much room on this team for him for very much longer
@Old Man Game I do like this idea. I'm going to deliver a letter to KD recommending it
Perkins, the thunder stopper
@Tronchaser Theres no one here who likes that scenario
@FF_pickups @slroberts Oh sorry haha i think top 10 pick and some future first or second rounder as well. I mean he's got multiple future DPOY's written all over him
Honestly I think Beal doesnt have the upside we've already seen in Harden... he had like two really good tourny games and the hype goes through the roof. If thundy are actually considering this, they must know something we dont about re-signing our current players
@cemitten @Iceberg Slim Yes I also do not like this scenario. despite its reasonableness
@propsizzle that def puts us over the cap
@Prye05 How much are people guessing Ibaka's worth? He's the runner up to Tyson chandler defensive Mvp, and chandler's making 14M a year (which in my mind is ridiculous)
Sadly after looking at our team salary http://www.hoopsworld.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-team-salary i dont see our team retaining maynor, ibaka and harden after their "qualifying offer" year... which is what we need for a championship. Harden spoke publicly about taking less money, but i dont think hes going to realize how much less it'd have to be
