How can OKC get better?

[Rigby.]

Like others have said, put Westbrook at the 2 and try to get a player like Rubio. But Westbrook cares too much about stat padding and triple doubles. As long as he’s the guy with the ball in his hands, it’s first round exits. Presti needs to pull a Masai and trade Westbrook. He’s a fan favorite but like Masai said, what’s the point of doing the same thing over and over again?

They have historically horrible spacing but I think they might be the literal worst if they picked up a Rubio

Breh lost the game for OKC in the 3rd quarter yesterday bc he tried to trade buckets with Dame.

you can tell when some nikkas been living with that chip on their shoulder mentality too long

A “Andre Miller” type point Guard is needed


To run the team to let Westbrook run wild



A younger rondo that don’t care about scoring but can hit a outside shot


Damn I don’t think there is one out there like that





And a post up player maybe Blake griffin

Trade Westbrook. I'm going say it, he's the worst "superstar" in NBA history. Three years w/o Durant and he's only won 4 playoff games in total. That's pathetic.

I'm a huge Brodie supporter and really fucc with his Nipsey 20-20-20 (21 but let's keep it 60s) game.

I also applaud him for trying to score less so PG can go off. Not many players in his position would and can do that, he doesn't get enough props for it.

So it hurts me to have had to dap this. I did not actually realize it's been ONLY 4 playoff games won. That's.. that's outrageously bad. And in the end, the proof is in the results and these results.. nah that's not maintainable. It's not the coach or the GM: their 2 stars are considered better than Portland's stars..

Damn.

Time for a trade, let's face it - this is not working. But: can Russell help a team win somewhere else (that does not have KD on the roster).. Houston?

they cant.ceiling been tapped

Keep him for the money he generates and to be honest his body won't hold up

Fire everybody

Sign players at league minimiums ( say the salary cap 150 million spend only 75)

Tank and build through the draft

Anytime a player gets good but isn't top five good trade him for pics

Don't even look at a free agent unless you can meet them both first and last ( get feelers during season, first team to meet, and always be the first team to know where the FA is going)

If you draft a good player who becomes very good the summer they become an unrestricted free agent if they meet with another team don't offer a contract

Hypnotise them into being great

Get some american Cacs without tats but married (OKC should have four cacs and a Hispanic) but no EUROS

Brand yourself as the all American American team with hard nose defense and rebounding

Hire a young coach but let him know the plan so pay him extra have him 15 years

Win titles in the late 2030's and early 2040's

This nikka played mygm on 2k19 and now he thinks he know better than people actually running these teams lmao

Edit:
The nikka who wrote that shyt up even dapped me

 

[The Unknown Hype]

They honestly fukked up with those contracts. The most notable one is Steven Adams which is a decent center but he’s paid like can do it all which is far from the case. It also looks bad that he defers some of his numbers to Westbrook in rebounds. But overall Westbrook seems to be the biggest limiter on that team. People literally dodging rebounds for the sake of his stats.

 

[Skooby]

Dump Westbrook. He’s an nba loser. Same breath as iverson and melo. Some players just have low ceilings as the main option

Iverson took a team to the finals as the only offensive option. That separates him from Westbrook and Melo.

And get what? His value at an all-time low right now.

Just getting out of that contract would be a win.

Russ untradeable at his money

Sure, once in an awful conference. He’s better than Westbrook, but also was a superstar player that you couldn’t consistently win with

 

[L. Deezy]

Every NBA player gotta tweak their game at some point... time for Russ to do his.. thats all..

Start with a good coach and system..

Iverson also flamed out early for a superstar

 

[Greenhornet]

PG made his decision but it was a dumb one. Even his contract length was bizarre. And say what u want about Bron but PG would be a much better player with him. Bron would actually be setting him up and getting him open shots. All he is does ISO playing alongside Russ...

I agree with bron being better than russ ... but all this showed was bron wasnt helping him either
more usage for PG would have torn that shoulder earlier too
and everything you can say about the Lakers injuries playing a factor can be said about OKC too
if PG didnt want to play in LA then there's a reason

 

[Greenhornet]

Westbrick is 30 years old my nikkas these aint little developing kids we talking about ..they are about to be out of their primes soon ..thats where the urgency comes from

OKC will never win a championship like 70% of the NBA teams in the next 20-30 years

They would have to take some bad contracts back to get someone to take him off their hands.. I just don't see it. I think he will retire in OKC. Whether it's best for them or not. I don't think he's tradeable.
