I doubt we will see that KD and Westbrook tandem but well, Thunders knows how to find talents before but sadly they didn't became champs with them.

That's why they are planning to rebuild again, there are young talents that might come and lead the team to more success.
No team can make a player to stay forever, though westbrook is no doubt one of the best player in the NBA but he is not a good example of a team leader, and we all know basketball is a team game and not only a one man game, so even with his very awesome triple double stats its still useless if he cannot lead his team to be in the NBA finals and to win.

When it was once upon a time when Oklahoma Thunders had the best players. Undecided

Lol, that was history. KD, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, if OKC could reassemble those players, they sure are the champions next season, just kidding. KD and Westbrook may have personality clash, that's why their tandem don't work well for them.

Time flies so fast eh?

As a realistic destination for Westbrook, I can see that being Miami.

That's good destination for him, playing along with Butler would make them a good duo as Butler does not demand the ball all the time but this guy can make a difference when he is called to make a play especially when Westbrook is shooting 5-25 Embarrassed

or even worst.

I don't think there is somebody that will dwell with Westbrook especially when his attitude is still the same. A ball hugging player and an overhyped person does not deserve a ring like Westbrook. I don't like the player and I don't like him going into Miami since he will ruin what the team has established.

The man may be good but only up to individual skills. That won't make a team get a ring. Basketball ain't no chess game. Triple doubles may be achieved but if its a lost game, that is no use to inch closer to the crown. Westbrook cannot carry a team to try get a ring.

Harden and Westbrook was able to achieved the west finals together with KD before,

But they lose, that's maybe the reason why Durant leave and for sure he does not want to play with WB ever again.

Both melodramatic players will clash there. It aint going to be a good team.
Wherever Westbrook will be it wont be a good team. He better stay with OKC until his retirement. Preserving him will be the best move their management they will make. More like a Dirk thing.

We will never know until they try it, there are players that are not suitable with the current set up, but who knows WB will be a better player playing with Butler, and we cannot underestimate him as he was once an MVP.

Someone is missing on the list and it's Carmelo Anthony

. He's been spotted training hard in the hope that he could find a team next season and with things going around i think the Lakers is the most probable team that could land him and why not, they are friends with Lebron. I just hope that he would swallow his pride of not being on the starter list.

That I am waiting for, they need shooters and when we say "shooters" Carmelo will be the one of the best out there but just lacking with his defense.
Take him to the 2nd team and let it be led by him.
That way while Lebron and AD are resting there will still be chances that a lead could be preserved too.

Him and James Harden can't co-exist

I agree, I can even make an argument that no star could co-exist alongside Harden under D'Antoni's offense. Unless of course, you are willing to stand up in the corner/wing and jack up 3s while Harden has been dribbling for 20 seconds already. Grin

Now on the trade, if Sam Presti and the Thunder are indeed ready to move on and rebuild their team, they would want from Houston multiple 1st round draft picks and a third team to pick/absorb CP3's huge $124m contract (lol good luck with that).

As a realistic destination for Westbrook, I can see that being Miami.

Harden and Westbrook was able to achieved the west finals together with KD before, putting them together might be a big question with chemistry, both players wanted to hold the ball and even plays will be created for the team their individuality will be there when playing inside the court, it's hard to blend two superstars when mentality is about individual capabilities.

There are rumors that Russell Westbrook is heading to the Houston Rockets and seeing the situation I would say it's possible to happen. Like Westbrook and Paul George Chris Paul and Harden does not have the best of relationship after the season as ended and I could see that one of them (most likely Paul) would be traded away as the main centerpiece of the trade in exchange for Westbrook. This might not be the only power change we will see in the West and Houston might be another improved contender for the Championship.

really? that is going to be one of the worst decision of Westbrook if he opted to go to Houston. Him and James Harden can't co-exist, two ball hog players, who just love to boost their statistics for personal reason, nah I doubt it will happen. We have seen CP3 and Harden clash, it will be much worst when Westbrook and Harden, more drama in the locker room for sure.

I don't even know if this two are aiming for the finals. Statistics can boost their advertisement to other teams, they will be forever in the NBA records but how about their team? I am so annoyed on how Westbrook play, and wehn someone pointed out that Harden is also like this I was pissed. Jeremy Lin has his championship, while these two is still playing for their records.

Clippers made the playoffs without a legitimate Superstar on their team. Adding two superstars, both a two-way player, definitely shoots their chance for a title up.

Yep, sure they can and this is totally awesome to see a superstar comes to them and that's not just a superstar but the recently crowned MVP just won the championships.

Many will eye for Clippers for this season.

That's for sure and that is because of Leonard, I believe PG is a good teammate, and I have a feeling that they will have a good chemistry with Leonard.
PG's performance last season was really good, they would have beat the Blazers if Westbrook was consistent, but now he teamed up with a consistent player like Leonard, so let's see.

I also think that they will be having a good tandem. I never heard any issues of PG13 with his former teammates and wherever he goes, he's good and intact.

We will see their tandem soon, I can't wait as everyone starts to take their eye on their preferred teams.

Having Westbrook in Houston will hurt the team rather than improve it. OKC is in the right to rebuild now that Paul George is out of the team. And trading Westbrook is the right move. But I do not think that it is a good fit for Westbrook to go to HOU. Rockets already have a ball hog in their team, and adding another ball dominant player is a disaster.

Clippers didn't become playoff contenders, they were already in playoffs, they took warriors without injuries to 6 games, nobody played the uninjured warriors except clippers.

With this two trades they became championship contenders for sure, I am not saying they will be champions but at least we know for a fact that there is no team that can easily beat clippers, yeah it can go to 7 games or 6 games or have a very difficult over time games and what not and eventually clippers may lose, that is a possibility but nobody can sweep clippers. Lakers between got bunch of great additions, rondo is back, cook came in, cousins came and of course my favorite ; Danny green is in Lakers now. Considering they missed out on Kawhi and had to wait a lot during free agency, it was a great roster fill up by them.

I can't disagree with Clippers becoming championship contenders after they acquired Kawhi and Paul.

Lebron James
Kyle Kuzma
Anthony Davis.
Javale McGee
Danny Green
Rajon Rondo
Quinn Cook
Kentavious Caldwell Pope
Jared Dudley
Demarcus Cousins.

Let us see how this guys will work it out.

I think the addition of Danny Green made the difference here. They got a decent starting 5 in James, Davis, Kuzma, Green, Rondo. Let's just hope LJ and AD's egos won't clash everytime they lose games.

Rondo and AD and Cousins used play good together. So now they are back, this time with the Lakers. So there are no adjustments. Then adding Green and Cook, yes, that already a potent team right now. This is really a upgrade from last year and the players they added have the experience now.

Let's forget all of those rumors and speculations that we've made. All of those were finally over as Kawhi has been announced on where's going together with PG13. Clippers will be one of the toughest team on this season? hmmmmm.. interesting!
While KD and Irving on Nets.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/2019-nba-free-agency-tracker-kawhi-leonard-to-clippers-kevin-durant-kyrie-irving-pick-nets-kemba-walker-to-celtics/

Nets VS Clippers on Final lol
Kawhi ruined King James plan by joining to the clippers team. Now, I know why Kawhi takes to a long time to decide this move, I think Kawhi and PG13 discussed together with their move to the clippers lol

Don't have that conclusion yet, there's more to come. I think this is also one of the most awaited moment on NBA, the roster changes. With $142M contract for four years, well this could be a good try for Clippers with the span of time but who knows if there will be some interesting and unpredicted moments. It's not just Nets and Clippers will be the interesting team, we'll see on how the super teams before react with the season. GSW won't be the same before.

That's right, Clippers are healthy while Nets are not, Durant will not play next season, so I don't think we can guarantee they will win, and also, take into consideration that Durant might be different by the moment he comes back since it's a long lay off and coming from a major injury that will affect one's confidence.

Yeah, I've seen players before that didn't played well after coming from an injury but I still wish all the best for K.Durant for making the next season the best of him if possible and if situation permits.

It's possible and that's his management that wants him to transfer but if he wants to, he's doing the right decision because it looks like there's no highlight for the team if he stays there for a long time or the team itself needs a buff together with him.
