Good for him. Glad he stayed in OKC.

Russ is an alpha who will make the finals as the alpha before he retires.

I've given you my arguments. He's too selfish and he's not a good enough shooter or half court PG to win a title. I was right last year(not about the title, about his shooting his team out of the series). We'll see who is right going forward.

Only way he make the finals is if OKC gets moved to the East. He will never get out of the West.

He’s today’s Iverson.

I don't hate him. I just think he will never win a ship while he is the main piece, not a good enough shooter and will shoot his team out of big games.

I like him and hope he does make it but I just don't see it.

#2 easily in the West watch out world. This is silly. Without Westbrook's selfishness they don't make the playoffs. This isn't a Jimmy Butler styled ball stopping situation. Westbrook had to shoot in order for them to have a chance at anything.

Going forward he will have to adjust somewhat because he will be playing with better offensive players.

OKC's problem over the years weren't due to Westbrook and gunning. Injuries and the Harden trade were the primary reason that they haven't won a championship. Durant bouncing killed any hope of winning last year. They have a team that can compete this year and Presti has shown that he has no problem with making a trade if he thinks it will help the team.

didn't westbrook already make the finals as the alpha? yeah he had durant and harden around at the time, but are you gonna tell me that russ wasn't the alpha at the time?

The question is how long before that's a terrible contract? If he doesn't get injured within the first part of the deal, you have to think in year 3 or 4 he's a diminished player. It was like Theo said about not paying for past performance.

Know its just preseason but OKC looks pretty good. Shroeder is an under the radar pickup that will pay dividends. I expect to see a lot of him and Westbrook in the game together.

Probably move Westbrook off the ball some this year.

I'm out.

If it makes them a better team sure. It just might. Donovan is fighting for his job. Westbrook stat padding isn't going to save. Their offense needs to become more efficient and so does Westbrook individually.
