I mean, it's been 2 games and they went to overtime against Memphis. The team isn't well put together either so I don't know what expectations were.

First of all they wanted gain a playoffs spot, after dissapoining last year. But U are right the team is awfully put together. EG is arguably the worst GM in the league and he spent milions to build worse bench unit than season ago :) if you watch memphis game explain me why Brooks didn't took a TO on the last posesion? Does he always trust his players to close out the game?

I come in peace :D

I know you guys don't want to trade RW, but, if you wanted to rebuild(giving Adams and Oladipo those contracts leaves you with no money for FAs), would offer of Jokic, Mudiay or Murray, Barton, Gallinari and DEN, MEM picks in next years draft(or 2 future Denver picks) be even some kind of a start, or your team would hang up and don't even think about it? Denver could also take Kanter, if you see him as neg value, or any other player you look at like that...

What did we do before the cap spike when teams didn't have acres of cap room for FAs? :lol:

I don't think either contract indicates a Westbrook trade would be more likely.

That's pretty decent value overall, but Presti tends to go for one primo asset and smaller peripheral ones instead of a bunch of good to very good assets. I think Jokic is a prime asset, but he doesn't play a position of need. BOS is the most commonsense trade partner for Russ.

I do think there's a possibility of more trades between DEN and OKC in the next year or two as DEN consolidates, though.

Sorry :(. Was hoping he'd do well for you guys.

I know he isn't any saviour but I need to lower my expectations :( ps I haven't seen OKC this year but I wonder how U rate Oladipo - your new addiction?

He's been meh. Not great but still shows flashes.

I was thinking you would like Jokic because he can play with Adams, and because in this trade, one of Nurkic/Jokic would have to go from Denver...Maybe some 3 team trade could get it done, with Jokic going to some team that needs PF/C and could give you something of same value on position you need...I didn't think it indicates, but giving Kanter contract he has, and Oladipo this contract, it looks like Presti is fine with Westbrook being only Superstar(even All-star) on your team, just my thoughts i don't know. And also, i know RW is not on trade block, even i wouldn't trade him from my fantasy team and i don't have and reward for playing it, just wanted to see if it would be conversation starter or not..Wouldn't mind having
RW, Murray
Harris, Beasley
Chandler, Hernangomez
Faried, Arthur
Nurkic, Kanter
as Nuggets :D

Give you Kanter for Wilson Chandler. Or Gallo.

Far as I can tell a lot of people in the Rust Belt in particular found something that resonated--no matter what they think of him as a person (he's a scumbag, and I think even a good chunk of Trump supporters realize that), they believe he'll reverse the trend of decay in American industry. I highly doubt it. Time will tell.

I personally skew religious conservative, strict Constitutionalist, and basically no one out there fits anything in line with my politics. Don't like Clinton much, but for me she's at least predictably bad. You know which way she'll jump. Trump is volatile.

Could be we come out just fine. We'll see.

I'm not sure. I just posted this to facebook.

I'm sorry America. For the first time in my life I'm genuinely afraid of my own country, and am legitimately considering searching elsewhere. I'm sad for all minorities who will be negatively effected by this and just overall disgusted and saddened. When I wake up tomorrow I won't feel the same, and probably never will.


I'm legit looking for jobs in Canada. I'm scared.

I really thought there was no chance he'd win and the only reason he was being taken seriously was because I' in the bible belt... This can't be real. I couldn't stand the thought of either of them but this... Democracy is dead and I was there to see it killed.

If democracy is a "her" I would suggest her to run away before Trump also lays his hands on her.
..or maybe she is dead already as you said.

Volatile with a narcissistic personality, which is the scariest part of it all.

lol I was scared to say something about politics here ( even more with oklahoma state being so republican). Glad to see I was wrong and the values we share here are beyond our love for our team ;)

Trump represents everything I hate but I still think it's not going to be as bad as people tell (because he won't be able to do everything he thinks and wants) and that's coming from a huge bernie fan and left activist.

Voted Hillary but wanted Bernie myself too (though I'm not from OK either). Sports are what I use to get away, and I can't even do that today.
