much better

perhaps the argument should be that the team would hold future space for a second star (not durant) in lieu of a quicker lower tier fix in the moment. On that I agree wholeheartedly. Davis needs a running mate, and he is not currently on the team.

the gettable players I would forego a signing for are Anthony, cousins, Howard, nowitzki Westbrook and that's probably it. You either draft a star, trade for a star, or sign a disgruntled star.

As you say a lot can change in a year...

Westbrook is an interesting name. Say things go bad this year and OKC knows what is coming with Durant. They can't get value for him because he refuses to guarantee he will re-sign anywhere. OKC then decides to get as much as possible for Westbrook.

Very unlikely. But getting any star is unlikely.

Howard is only gettable if he opts out, which I would say is highly unlikely. Or we give them Asik + a lot of other assets in a S&T (Which I can't see Houston doing)

Don't want Dirk. At all. He's got maybe 2 years left in the tank, at best. Why go for a year or two of dirk (who still won't be that cheap) over a chance at Durant?

I don't see any scenario that Westbrook is gettable, unless you're saying you hope Durant leaves OKC and then Westbrook wants out after the 2016 season.
