dunno why people are saying westbrook should have been traded in OKC instead of Harden .... that was Harden's mistake ... he knew he was good and would rather be out... we see how that worked.... great honestly
what the team should have done, minus them being 22-23... is all collectively sacrifice pay to stay together as a team. All of that petty money between them was made back easily in shoe deals alone.... not even mentioning the countless commercials for all of them and MVPs, extra money from playoff runs etc. They fukked up not thinking long term and believing in THAT power. The only thing winning a ring does now, besides give you bragging rights ... is secure you for a lifetime sponsor bag. If they all balanced that 5 mill to even shyt out, they would have won a ring or two and been solidified forever as pillars in NBA for life. Dont believe my last statement? well 2 of them didnt win a ring yet and are still some of the most marketable players without it, imagine 5 million fukking up going even further with the marketing.
