OKC/MN

[scotchnpancakes]

With OKC out of the playoffs and Westbrook demonstrating more Marbury than Nash, would now be a good time to move on Westbrook?

Would Flynn, the #2, and or AR/Beas work??

You could do Love for Westbrook straight up.
under this guise, you could
draft Williams, and keep Rubio. He and Westbrook could play side by side and worse case scenario, you trade one a couple of years down the road..

Darko/AR/Pek
Williams/Beas/AR
Beas/Webster/Hayward
Johnson/Westbrook
Westbrook/Rubio

it certainly would solidify the 1 and 2 spots for us, and while defense is still an issue, we'd have an identity and a superstar (or 2)

Anything short of Westbrook pulling a Marbury and demanding to be traded likely means he only gets traded over Durant's dead body. KD has too much sway to let that happen. The guys are best friends.

I agree with Krap. I think the fans and media are blowing things out of proportion when it comes to Westrbook's shortcomings and future.

OKC is very young, while Dallas, LA, and SA are aging. This was a fantastic learning experience for a team that will continue to grow together. They just ran into an experienced buzzsaw that is playing their best basketball since Cuban took over. Dirk finally grew a pair and is playing like a man possessed.

They'll be fine...with Westbrook.

Dirk is a beast, he's always been amazing.

I agree with Krap. He's not moving. I threw out #2/Rubio for Westbrook in another thread and while I think that's fair value, I just don't see any way that OKC breaks up that team right now.

Westbrook has amazing physical tools for a PG.

His decision making is among the worst PG's in the league, though.

[The J Rocka]

It might not happen now, it could in less than two years if they can't get it together or Westbrook goes AWOL.

KG and Marbury were pretty good friends, people change and it's also a business.

Marbury is also one in a million.

ahh but the change of teams would make bad decision making good, observe:

freezing out Durant - bad
freezing out Darko - awesome
