Watson, Wilkens, ??? why Why WHY

I still see a huge need for Marcin Gortat in OKC.

Westbrook/Livingston
Harden/Weaver
Durant/Sefolosha
Green/Collison
Gortat/Krstic

will gortat get the full mle? it's probably worth a shot to sign him.

Westbrook/Livingston/Atkins
Sefolosha/Harden
Durant/Mason
Green/White
Krstic/Collison

I expect Harden to take Sefolosha's spot sometime during the year, and White to take Greens spot sometime during the year. A 6th and 7th man of Green and Sefolosha is very good.

I expect Watson/Wilkins all gone this summer.

D-League:
BJ Mullens
Robert Vaden
Kyle Weaver

Overseas:
Serge Ibaka
DeVon Hardin

you think mason will be re-signed? he was terrible before he got hurt.

just for vet leadership IMO. He wont play much though

Possibly. Depends how many teams actually spend money this offseason.

I see the roster shaping up like this.

PG Westbrook, Livvy, Weaver
SG Thabo, Harden, Vaden
SF Durant
PF Green, White, Ibaka
C Krystic, Collison, Mullens

See these guys living on the trade block or simply cut, Watson, Wilkins and Atkins.

I hope the Thunder signs Gortat, he'll make the team more solid in the front court.

We need to Trade Collison .. early

Why ... Lots of Powerforwards in next Years Draft

Solid team. But you guys need a true C.

Collison is undersized

agreed

OKC can make the playoffs next year if they acquire some veteran tutors with leadership ability.

For example:
Mike Bibby would make a GREAT third guard behind Westbrook and Harden.

Marcus Camby would be a perfect defensive center.

Kurt Thomas would be ideal as a backup bigman.

If you wanted a good veteran to go up against Durant in practice and back him up in games ... Jerry Stackhouse could fit the bill.

Overall, the Thunder have the young pups, they just need some veteran leaders who can actually still play in the rotation and contribute on the floor to add experience to the team.

I don't know how they would get Camby, Bibby, Thomas, and maybe Stackhouse but those are the TYPE of guys they need to make a serious playoff push (I'm serious).

I love Thabo, but the sooner Harden can win over that starting spot the better. I still want to see Green as a 6th man (or traded for a nice big man), but signing someone like Milsap would be enough to do that anyways.

PG - Westbrook 36 / Weaver 12 / Livingston
SG - Harden 32 / Sefolosha 16 / Wilkens
SF - Durant 40 / Sefolosha 8
PF - Green 36 / White 12
C - Krstic 32 / Collison 16 / Mullens

I think Millsap would be a really good pick up for you guys. You could move Green to the bench were he could play a more comfortable role as a 6th man and play both forward positions.

Pg:Westbrook, Livingston
Sg:Harden, Thabo
Sf:Durant, Green
Pf:Millsap, Green, White
C: Krstic, Collison, Mullins

Use Watson and Wilkins as trade bait

I see Thabo as the primary back-up for Durant from here on out:

Westbrook/Livingston
Harden/Weaver
Durant/Thabo
Green/Collison/White
Krystic/Mullens

Finally someone makes sense. Now if we can trade Collison and get Ibaka some minutes (only a few) this would be a good lineup IMO.

I think is very close to the lineup we'll see this season. However, I'd say that Collison will get the backup center/PF minutes with White and Mullens both seeing under 10 min/game. Also, we'll have to eventually replace Livingston or Weaver in the backcourt with someone that can actually come off of the bench and score.

I would love to re-unite Thabo with Skiles.. do you think your team would still be interested in Kurt Thomas?
