what if the Thunder traded Westbrook instead of Harden?

[ThaBronxBully]

Toronto is 8 games out of the eight seed with 16 games left. They aint gettin in, yung.

Im Talking About When Memphis Eventually Gets Outted, People Are Gonna Act Like Trading Rudy Was The Fall Of The Franchise

Now if they traded Westbrook for Rondo.......

Pass first Rondo with those shooters/scorers in KD/ Harden...... That is a scary sight.

KD may legit average 35-40 with Rondo at the point.

 

[tremonthustler1]

We'd be talking about how OKC misses Westbrook's defense and wondering why nobody wants to take the big shot at times.


And it's not like Miami. 2 of their big three are bigs. Only KD is a big and he's a 3

 

[Wacky D]

Harden is better in every way possible, I dont understand why the didnt try to move Westbrook. On top of that I'm starting to think im starting to think Durant is scared of Westbrook or something for real, I aint see Durant pull West brook to the side and talk to him as the leader not once ever. Now is doing foolishness like taking half court shots for no reason with 20 seconds left on a shot clock



Westbrook is talented but no matter how much Durant sticks up for him he's a problem waiting to happen, Harden knows how to get in where he fits in and do him, Westbrook only understands how to impose his will by any means necessary even if it hurts Durants production and his teams

durant got into it with westbrook when westbrook went overboard yelling at sefolosha last year.

i cant stand westbrook, but hes better than harden. offensively, i'd say that harden is slightly better but once you take westbrook's ucla defense into consideration, its a wrap.

**plays college hoops 2k8**

i think that comes wit learning tho Russ just startin playin the point

i always suggested they start russ at the 2 and kd at the 3
when they had Maynor they shoudla started him imo

better tandem Russ at the 2 KD the 3?
or Harden at the 2 KD at the 3?
for the whole season Harden cant come off the bench

exactly. pg isnt westbrook's natural position.

and yea, i wanted to see maynor start at point, and westbrook moved to sg.

more importantly, i dont understand how maynor sat the bench all year, then goes to portland and instantly balls out.

man that shyt crazy Maynor over there balling out

idk maybe they were holding him back to a certain extent seeing as they had three nikkas9harden,kd,russy) that can go create they own shot...maybe he sensed that and fell back played his role i wouldnt blame him they was winning but he in Portland goin crazy

 

[ThaGlow]

Both Harden and Westbrook can get theirs, but I prefer Westbrook's explosiveness and his steals. OKC made the right choice imo. Well Westbrook and Durant were already locked in anyway so its really a Harden vs Ibaka decision.

 

[gho3st]

They should have traded Westbrook instead of Harden. Harden is a more reliable shooter than Westbrook and a way better defender. They could have gotten a combo guard that can shoot the 3 and play defense.

 

[Danie84]

Where would they get the rest of their scoring from, Perks

 

[Filluminati]

Put Mike Conley in place of Westbrook
PG - Conley
SG - Harden
SF - Durant

= Championship

With Westbrook as your "playmaker" u aint winnin shyt

Blocking shots aint defense breh, Ibaka aint intimidating nobody, although he's improved, he wasnt worth losing a MVP candidate, for a 13 and 7 player

:cmonman::cmonman: Ibaka is a GREAT all around defender

And its pretty easy to get a couple of fill in pieces and win a title like Miami did when you have three legit all stars

you don't really believe that do you?!

Bosh, and wade as an overall trio >> Harden, Kd and
It's MUCH easier to win when you put random shooters and whoever else around the Heat trio as opposed to if you put random fill in's around the harden//kd35 trio

quit the breh. it's my fault though fallin' for such obvious trollin

:Perk:

So Harden is not a better defender than that fella with sugar in his tank?

 

[kbtwofour]

i would of tried to get CP3, but getting rondo wouldn't be bad, but he dominates the ball to much, i don't know if him and Harden would of been able to co-exist.

I would of also looked at getting a healthy D will as well

The reason why I said Rondo was because he was the best available option. I don't see the Cavs letting go of Irving or the Clippers letting go of CP3.

D-Will? The D-Will that played for Sloan in Utah? Maybe, but the not the D-Will playing with the Nets. He is always injured and looks .

 

[cleanface coney]

honestly no hate but i dont think the Thunder can beat Miami in a Finals rematch

for the life of me i dont understand how Perkins still starts...he;s useless not even a great rebounder

the only teams i see beatin Miami is Memphis,San Antone, and the Lakers if they can get it together

He's absolutely not
