Given bad blood between the sides, do you think KD will be retired?

Jersey retirements aren't done based on objective standards. They are for fans. I think Durant clears that hurdle but if I was an OKC fan I'd love Westbrook way more than Durant and would consider him the face of the franchise, while hoping SGA passes him by.

Yes I'm aware of this. I was just saying, he does have some factor. Westbrook will get his praise.

Well, if you include the Sonics, I would say its Gary Payton over KD.

Probably will, but it shouldn't.

It would definitely have to be after Westbrooks
Wouldn't be totally surprised if it wasn't retired honestly

Prob do them together most likely imo. The only way I could see it not happening is if KD had talked tons of **** about the org+owner and just created a lot of acrimony after leaving(which I don't recall much of). Which even then the next owner would still probably retire his number.

After the way he left, after his performance was one of the reasons they dropped their lead against GS? He doesn't deserve it, but he'll get it anyway.

I would be shocked if they did them together. Think that would read as a slap to the face to Russ
