I still think Westbrook begins the season with the Thunder unless he lets them know beforehand that he wont resign with them. Stranger things have happened but they should at least see if they can possibly resign Russell and build around him before they panic and trade him. I feel them trying to get something for him but what if he really wanted to stay?
Let the Russell Westbrook sweepstakes begin.

breh i knew he is young like i literally know it but everytime my mind refuses to believe he is less than 25
he is 22 turning 23 next week
yeah def keep him
dumb question is there really no chance westbrook reups ?
[QUOTE="GoddamnyamanProf, post: 19995161, member: 101No need to trade Adams. He's a great piece for the future, young as hell and perfectly complimentary, but he isnt gonna go out and win a bunch of games for you himself so you can still tank and keep him w/ the new
rebuild.[/QUOTE]
I agree that we need to keep Adams. He's quickly becoming one of the better defenders among big men and his offensive game is progressing nicely. I don't really see a need to trade him with how young he is and the potential he has
I don't see him resigning because he's in his prime/ready to enter it and just lost his best chance at a title. Unless loyalty means more to him than a ship, he's gone

rather see them go after johnathan issac instead of tatum. sabonis might be ready to go, he got that bloodline. but i doubt russ leaving this season anyhow. they just trying to gauge the market to see if it's worth it. presti will get fired on spot in the compensation ain't worth the trade. the city fukked up over this oneIf the Thunder get the 2017 Nets pick, their team might look like this next year

Presti will be fine. He couldn't have predicted KD turning into a bytch & now his hand is basically forced to trade Russy if he can't get a commitment. Plus with the prospect of a half rebuild coming without Russy, you can't fire Presti knowing the draft is where your going to get moving back towards hopefully being good again, that's his shyt.

perhaps, but his trade game is suspect at best
in the event russ gets traded and it doesn't result in the thunder acquiring at least a top 3 protected pick and a player who can start right now i don't see how it would bode well for presti to whiff on this trade. he's done a mediocre job at overpaying players like kyle singler 5 mill a year and has tied up a roster spot for a player that could contribute right now and be more effective. he also paid kanter last year, yet was ready to move him as quick as possible just two weeks ago so he's been erratic and it's been to the detriment of this team. he hasn't really utilized the talent he's developed through the draft as much as he's drafted either. so losing westbrook, ibaka, and durant in one offseason is more than enough to get you canned.
Atleast if AD never gets the ball Sabo go lead us to 50 winsBrows gon eat off all those offensive rebounds

Right but it's all relative you got to look forward which team does he have chance to compete for ship in 3 years
Lakers? Celtics?
If the Brooklyn pick isn't moved, Denver could easily give a nice package without hurting their depth
They could do mudiay, Barton, faried and a pick and not bat an eye
