Rumor has it that the Thunder are willing to trade Russell Westbrook to the Celtics, so as to avoid losing him in free agency. I am not sure if this is going to happen quickly, but maybe before the trade deadline after the All-Star break. With Durant's departure, I don't think OKC is just going to sit and watch their free walk away.

Hmm. If he's re-upping here long-term, he's most definitely worth both Brooklyn picks and pretty much whatever roster players OKC may want. Sam Presti isn't a guy who is going to let himself get fleeced by Danny Ainge so the haul he's going to get back is going to be nuts. If Danny could somehow pluck Adams or Kanter away, I might shit a brick. Unlikely that happens, though.

If true you have to figure a lot of the guards will be gone. If the Cs were left with Avery Bradley after I would be happy and if they still had Isaiah Thomas I would be amazed.
is this would happen we will see westbrook and thomas combo, playing with speed and ability not bad for celtics if they can afford it.

You can add Blakd Griffin on that rumor to celtics. It would be Thomas, Westbrook, Griffin and Horford. I'm not a celtics fan but I'm excited if this happens.

Do you think when kevin durant join to golden state warrior it can wins on this season?? what do you think on that?? for me if the golden state warrior had no center on this season they cannot win again against to cavaliers but if they golden state warrior provide their weakness they had a big chance to become champion on this season come, so hopefully golden state warrior provide center, to have a good game on this season. Grin Grin Grin Grin

They have signed ZaZa Pachulia, he's not a great player but it can fill up the lack on the center position. The Larry sanders to gsw didn't went well.
Speaking of Larry Sanders, whatever happened to the guy, by the way? He was a monster when it came to blocks and rebounds. Won me a lot of fantasy games with his high efficiency type of game. Last I heard of him he was into recording, which was after he was suspended for use of "recreational" drugs.

Its sad to see of what happened to his career, He has a lot potential when his still play in milwaukee. I hope he play in the NBA again its not too late.

Christian Wood has agreed upon a two-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets.
Wood played well for the Philadelphia 76ers in Summer League. The second season of Wood's deal is a team option.

wow pachulia also with gsw? not getting enough just wait for another role palyer to join their team. oh well it would be an additional player for them.
ZaZa Pachulia is a great player, he is a hustle player and he can compete, I am pretty sure he will step up with the warriors as there is a lot of expectation from him, his energy will help for sure.
I just don't care so much about the latest acquisition of the warriors because having durant makes them already unbeatable with the existing line up, they have already acquired great centers but what makes them win is their offense.

No men defense is better tham offense and mostly team who have great defenders win the most and the perfect example with that is gsw vs cavs in the Finals, look at what happen to them when there is no bogut and green theyre turn messy and lebrom take the advantage to dominate the floor cause he knew no one in gsw can totally stop him when he is driving,

We really knew that gsw is perfect shooting team and it happen  that they are outscored by best defender of cavs thats why cavs stole the championship rings from gsw and became season 2016 champions.

GSW are a great defending team., with or without green. Obviously they are on a different level with him on the floor.

I don't think they will miss bogut or any good center at all.

The way they lost the Finals is a story for another day.

all seriousness though. I understand his thinking. He already has the wealth of an all star level player and he's a career role player the average NBA fan probably has never heard of. He can make a name and legacy for his career with this move. Usually I think it's stupid for these players to leave any millions on the table but this is one of the few cases I can understand. Probably could do more relative to his career than even Durants to be a part of potentially the greatest team ever. I think everyone wants to be remembered, this is his only chance really.

How would you rank Jordan's and Lebron's Finals Performances?

It's obvious that the bottom three would be 1996 Jordan, 2007 Lebron, and 2011 Lebron. What about the other ten which are all time great performances?

1991 Jordan
1992 Jordan
1993 Jordan
1997 Jordan
1998 Jordan
2012 Lebron
2013 Lebron
2014 Lebron
2015 Lebron
2016 Lebron


Arrange them from best to worst and try to provide some reasoning.
Lebron has had some really bad finals series that is part of the reason why he has lost more Nba finals in his career.
The first time he lost he could not do a thing but when he went to Miami and lost to Dallas that was poor.

Rip Hamilton wants to go back to NBA, Stephen Jackson wants to go back, Richard Jefferson cancelled his retirement, Ray Allen tries to go back, Garnett is still playing, Nowitzki extended 2 more years. I guess money is so sweet. Smiley

Please exclude Dirk there. If he loves money he can go another team and still he can play like the old days.

Hamilton, S. Jackson and Ray Allen must put an end in their career. If ever they can still play, I doubt teams will offered high offers to them.
Among the players who are not active anymore, I would prefer to see Ray Allen back and I want him to play with the cavaliers, they need someone who can shoot with a good percentage in 3 point line and we know allen can deliver that, just remember when the won against the spurs when they were down in the series to win the championship.

Salary space for CAVS are just enough and they can't get any superstars in their roster unless for a multiple way trades or that superstar will accept an average amount of salary.

And CAVS is an all around team. They don't need much those player who are only capable in one spot like three points area.
Cavaliers should be a legitimate team to win the championship this season although I believe that it is the warriors who is the heavy favorites here, with lebron as teammate you will be ensured that your team will fight until the end just like they prove in the last season.

With regards to Super Teams in Jordan Era, players at that time are competitors as you can see with the way they foul each other. If you've seen the games in the 90s you know that those are not cheap fouls unlike today. Scottie and MJ has been team mates for such a long time and the movements of players changing teams at that time are less. There are less stars changing teams at that time.

Back in the day so called superstars didn't wanna team up with another superstar, they wanted to beat them.

Rules changed so much that I could easily say today's players are simply soft(er).
hand-checking, no def 3 seconds, no defensive perimeter, etc. 

players like Irving would start crying after 5min if he was guarded by Starks or Dumars.

General public, TV companies, and owners wanted more excitement, speed up the game, etc so they changed the rules.

Gotta agree here with some of it. Dumars and company would hand check
the heck out of you back then and play "real defense" But in the leagues
defense they had to do something. Games were 81-77 and boring as hell.
Nba has never been more popular ever in the history of the game. I cant
believe so many people are still talking nba in July. That never happens. Shoot
normally people are talking NFL even in the nba playoffs. So they changed the
rules to have a more exciting fast paced game and let the stars be creative and
have more offense.

sucks for people who liked old school lock them up defense but its been much
better for the league as a whole.
