@Fuzzy Logic @ThunderWins Westbrook, Martin, Dudley, Durant, and Ibaka/Collison/Perkins. Dudley would further space the floor and provides another outside shooter you have to stay on. It's a lineup that can match up better with the Heat.
I've heard rumblings about Lamb's work ethic and attitude. No thanks. I will take Dudley, a proven performer and competitor.
Here is the trade I want. He has steadily improved every year, would be a great fit on this team and is great friends with Durant.

Take Aways:
Reggie Jackson looks much more in control.
Considering I didn't think Thabeet could move, he is better than I thought.
Houston's back up's are better than OKC's D-League guys.
Off this thread's topic but if the decision is that Harden is going to be too expensive, wouldn't it better for the Thunder to trade him before the season? If you wait until the trade deadline it will significantly decrease the market (to playoff contenders) and do you really want to trade him to someone you might be facing in the playoffs in a month and a half? I say trade him immediately (if the dollars dont fit) to a team like Sacramento or Orlando or anywhere that you can get the most value for him. Use the savings to lock up Maynor to an extension. I know alot of fans are ga-ga for the beard (I think he is a very good, but not max player) but I would hope fans would be on board for whats in the long-term best interest of the franchise.
The cool thing about a 3-on-3 event at the next Olympics is it could produce more than one USA team (ala beach volleyball). Now that would be cool seeing two USA teams battling for the Gold.
Makes me feel somewhat un patriotic but I find Olympic basketball UN WATCHABLE. I want 23 yo and under just so I can watch some competitive basketball again. I find no enjoyment watching the USA beat someone by 80 points.
Has he even been officially amniestied yet? Do you have a link?
Keith00 you are correct about the bidding process. I cant see Brand clearing waivers either. Not with a team like Dallas under the cap and needing ANYONE that can play. If I were to bet, I would bet Brand ends up either in Charlotte or Dallas.
On the Dwight Howard front, I would love to see him traded to the Nets. Really I would love him traded anywhere in the East. Let those teams beat the hell out of each other. As long as he doesnt go to Dallas or LA, I'm fine with it. If DWill chooses Brooklyn over Dallas (and I think he will), what is Dallas left to do? I also find it pretty funny that the Lakers have been as quiet as the Thunder in all the FA talk.
Speaking of OKC's activity (or lack thereof) in FA so far, I found KD's tweet yesterday pretty interesting. His "OKC is a great place to play, In case any FA's forgot" seems pretty humorous on the surface but does it also reflect a sense that KD would like to see OKC making moves? KD obviously doesn't dictate OKC's moves but it is interesting that he might feel OKC needs to bring people in. What do you all think? I'm probably over-analyzing it.
