Blake can't stay healthy. Not the same athletic freak he was once either. Real shame. He was playing as good as anybody in the league outside your top 2-3 guys a few year ago in that series when they beat the Spurs.

They don't have the cap space to offer Blake unless they're able to move a couple guys.

Kanter is a big piece to move. I really like him, but not being able to progress on defense is a major issue.

Not sure anyone would take Singler at 5 million, but it is worth a try.

They did have the youngest roster in the playoffs. Some really young guys with promise in Oladipo, Adams, Abrines, Grant.

Roberson is still really young, but not progressing as a shooter is a major issue. The reverse of Kanter.

Gibson wants to re sign. McDermott is back and will benefit from more time with this roster.

They need to make a couple moves, and add some shooting, but there is some promise on the roster

westbrook shot 38% from the field and 27% from 3 in the series lol that is straight garbage, pay him whatever you want for being an amazing athlete, but a winner, he will never be and thats why durant left him flat out

He needs to leave, but he kind of can't after his hissy fit about Durant.

I've always rolled my eyes at the people who complained about the large salaries of athletes, but after today I guess the Danny Kanell's of the world have the right to bitch.

Give him 25 million a year and sign another superstar at 19 million a year, giving him 44 million a year would be absurd.

Why would Westbrook take $25mil/year when he can get $30-40+?

Also, in today's cap world what "superstar" are you going to get for $19mil/year?

With this logic, they should also just sign Lebron and Steph Curry, why not!!!

But his talent will be wasted with nothing else around him.

Idk he had it made a few years ago as he was surrounded by some great weapons. His douchery caused them to leave and now everyone feels bad for him since he doesn't have any talent around him.

Durant ran because he's a pussy and has coasted this year for a chance at a title.

Who else left?

Reggie Jackson

OKC has had fluid roster movement, but that is all Presti.

I do think Kevin Martin hated Russ though.

Thought they dealt Reggie?

Westbrook should and will sign for the max, just like every other superstar and even "good" players do.

Maybe when gets up to the ranks of shooting 41% from the field and 24% from 3pt range like Harden did in this series, he'll be worth 220 mil?

Okc doesn't have a choice, but I wonder how long can Westbrook play at that style before the wheels fall off. I know he is a mutant, but everyone breaks down at some point.
