What are the chances that both Westbrook and Durant end up as Lakers?

Zero. Durant knows he can't win a championship with Westbrook.

Inversely proportional to Jim Buss' power in the franchise?

Wait...what? Westbrook is holding Durant back? I'm amazed at the shite I read here.

This is also correct. It's both happening and not happening. It's the Russell Westbrook of situations

Have they proven they can win a championship together? I just think the way Westbrook plays doesn't sit well with Durant sometimes.

The inverse is true as well. Westbrook cannot win one with Durant. But yes, Westbrook holds him back. Westbrook shoots more than KD and it definitely shouldn't be that way. No way KD should get only 5 shots in the first half of game 7 in the West finals. Unacceptable really.

Some of that is KD's fault as well though. He has to demand the ball and/or be aggressive when he gets it. I think he was like 6 for 7 last night in the first half. You have to shoot more when you're that hot.

I pity the Thunder to be honest. I'm genuinely not sure if they can win with Westbrook and Durant both trying to be Option 1 in crunch time, but you damn sure can't let them leave either.

Stealing from Chris Russo, Westbrook is the kind of guy that is going to keep both teams in it until the end, and that is entirely true as this series showed. What makes him great is a lot of what makes him liable at the end. He doesn't really have an off switch, so regardless how it is going, you just have to get out of his way.

none, durant going the LAC would be the smarter move between the two.

Issue is, LAC become so top heavy their bench continue to be in shambles. But a starting line up of:

CP3-Redick-Durant-Griffin-Jordan would be nuts.

He was 4-5 I just looked. Definitely have to let him fire the rock more. If you are Westbrook, you must get him the ball.

I dont pity them. They just play in the tougher conference. Sucks they aren't more balanced but what can you do. I dont think they can get it done if they havent by now.

Zero because Durant is not going to sign with the Lakers this offseason or the next imo. I could definitely see Westbrook in purple and gold though.

To be fair.. KD was at fault for a lot of this ... He had open looks and passed it off on quite a few occasions... Look at the tape.... If I was KD last night I would have been Kobe like and jacked it up everytime I touched it.......
