OKlahoma City Thunder @ Washington Wizards 3/14

Seemed his knees did well. The only way now for him to exceed expectation is to have some post moves. That or he knows how to pass the ball.

Enough game to get more comfortable on the defensive end too

i know this is too early to tell, but was there any noticeable difference in okc's game demeanor that maybe rubbed off from perkins?

I think we should pick a role wing player, someone can guard a second unit guard and can shoot open threes. How much we get with Sefolosha / Cole Aldrich offseason?

What would really complete this team would be Harden playing more time with Durant and Ibaka getting more touches at least for this reg season. I want to see if he could do a few more of these post moves he's been doing with 10-14 shots per game. But this would take Westbrook's shots and he wouldn't allow this.

we can always get lucky in the draft i don't think we up aldrich up this early, probably mullens if needed. Denver will probably let JR smith leave though we shouldn't go anywhere near him. Maybe one of Chandler/Afflalo will leave as well with gallinari still under contract at their wing position. Usually 1-2 of Westbrook/Harden/Durant will be on the pitch anyway, an adequate 3 point shooter will be more than enough, cook seems to be doing well in that role.

Since March, Ibaka has been getting around 10 shots/game. His offence will probably develop abit more in the offseason as well.

Afflalo + Harden would compliment each other. Afflalo could catch and shoot frst unit, Harden could ball handle second unit. Both would rock.

But I think Afflalo will get something like 8 mi/year and we can't afford this and sign Westbrook, Ibaka and Harden. A bigger Cook would be good to SF position backup. Someone like Landry Fields, maybe?

personality-wise, arron is a great fit for okc.

But do we got cap-space to sign a guy like Afflalo? I mean he can get alot of money some were else.

if cap level remain similar, we got around 7-8m after accounting for a draft pick slot in the 20s. Probably enough for Afflalo BUT denver themselves got alot of expiring and will probably consider extending/matching on Afflalo as he's RFA. he's probably 2nd priority after Nene.

Not sure how any signings will fit into extension for Westbrook/Ibaka/Harden though.
