OKC Thunder Off-season Thread : Fcuk Sustainability It's Time To Win
- Thread starter Loose
- Start date
they need a quality veteran PG to run the 2nd team, Lamb and Adams should be able to step in the starting lineup. but it may be time to move on from Jackson and get a new 2nd team backcourt. Jackson is not a good passer and only looks to score
this team can change drastically, and should be attractive to vet FA's. interesting to see what they do
Brooks is going to need a top roster to upend coaches who are superior to him, they have the space...

Didn't I tell you this 2 years ago nikka?
Didn't I say all that "moral victory" shyt was for losers?
You gotta start holding these boys accountable and stop patting em on the back.
You shoulda made this thread in 2012 play boy. Imagine if yall started demanding excellence 2 years ago insteada preaching "It's okay to lose as long as you try hard."
Hopefully them boys will learn. KD is my 2nd favorite player in the league and somehow I might like
even more. 
I told you way back then yall gotta stop patting these boys on the back and making excuses for them.

@Loose Which lineup you rather have:
Ibaka
Love
Melo
Reggie Jackson
Westbrook
Noah
Ibaka
Melo
Jimmy Butler
Westbrook
Taj Gibson / Reggie Jackson off Bench
Embiid
Ibaka
Melo
KD
Reggie Jackson
Stephenson off bench
Gortat or Pau
Ibaka
Melo
Wiggins
KD
Reggie Jackson off Bench
Ibaka
Melo
KD
Reggie Jackson
Rondo
OKC's options in free agency this summer is FRIGHTENING....
Basically all these trades come down to: Trading KD or Westbrook + Perkins (perkins gets shipped out no matter who gets traded), And they make Melo sign an agreement to sign with them if they can get certain players.
THIS IS ALL REALISTIC AND WITHIN THE SALARY CAP, UNBELIEVABLY.
If you love your team.... Forward this shyt to the GM.
OKC should win the next 5 titles (barring injuries) NO MATTER WHICH SCANARIO THE GO WITH.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
at Brooks love affair with Fisher & Perk killing us again.Need to find a way to move Perk. Throws some picks in with him to send him somewhere like the Lakers who want to keep their cap space until next year anyway to go after Love. Thabo can kick rocks too, dude fell off a cliff this season with his defense & his 3. Fisher needs to quit bullshytting & just retire. Sign that 1 day with the Lakers & retire. Caron can also leave & take all those 4-10, shoot everytime he touches the ball games with him.
Need shooters, perimeter defense, & a big that can post up every now & then. Anthony Morrow, CJ Miles, & Chris Kamen would be all be solid pickups. If we move Perk another move that maybe should happen is bringing over Tibor to replace Hash in the 3rd C spot for a year while he learns what we're doing before becoming more part of the rotation.
Roberson needs to be in a gym everyday just taking 500 corner 3s, if he could get that 3 he'll be pretty much what Thabo has been for that last few years. Lambo needs confidence which will come from playing & playing more with KD & Russy instead of bench guys the whole time. PJ3 also needs to just get playing time. PJ3 should be getting about 15 minutes a night minimum just from getting KD some more rest since he plays way to many minutes. Adams has been a surprise with what he has done all year considering what the reports about him were coming into the draft. If he can keep his fouls in check he'll be fine the more he gets to play. Grant is still a complete project that does 1 thing great & needs to round out some other things.
Everybody else should be alright as long as they stay healthy. Nicks game was more
this season but we still need him. He is like a coach for the young guys on the floor & he seems to really help Adams when they play together.
I don't know if Nick was I think it had more to do with the fact that Adams does everything he does but better. And the guy you're talking about was the draft & stash pick from last year or so?

All Star
What I would like to see
Amnesty Perk or trade him since he is an expiring contract
Wishful thinking but trade both 1st rnd picks 21 and 29 to move up and get Doug McDermott ..
Dont resign Thabo or Caron
Starting Lineup
Reggie Jackson
Westbrook
Durant
Ibaka
Adams

I don't know if Nick was
Tibor Pleiss was drafted in 2010 but the front office has been keeping up with him. He's been playing in Euroleague working on his game while we have kept tabs & waited for the rigt time to bring him over. Now that Perk should be heading out now would be a good time to bring him over & start getting im ready to be the backup for Adams. He showed up to summer league last year to check in & watch.
Oh alright. And I just looked it up, I think the guy I was referring to was Alex Abrines, says he plays for FC Barcelona

Dog.... what?
This team has no flexibility. Durant/Russ/Ibaka make a combined 46, and they're already signed up to pay out 68 million next year.
This post was so..... terrible. :Bellywood:
Perkins + Durant or Westbrook are traded in each scenario... The math works
Bottom line: okc can trade Durant or Westbrook and get 2 super stars in return
Love / melo >> Durant
Noah / melo >> Durant
I don't have time to go through it... But multiple team trades .. The math works
If okc don't end up with one of those rosters next year the gm should be hung
