Melo has never been a team player. And I don't see that changing just because he's teamed up w/ RW & PG.

He's older now and on arguably the best team of his career. I'm not saying he does it, but I certainly wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility for him to take a back seat and be more of a team player.

I'll believe when I see it.

It's done - If you can - give me a summary of how the points are counted and how often a person can or should reset their players. I'd like to be more competitive this year and make It more fun and fair to everyone

Thanks

For any of you sumbitches that said repeatedly that he was gone, you know who you are, go pound sand over and over.

Today is Durant's birthday by the way, I just know Westbrook wouldn't have been saving this as a birthday present. I'm sure he is having cupcakes.

FINALLY i really thought this wasn't going to happen at this point
SportsNation posted "Did Russell Westbrook intentionally sign extension on Kevin Durant's birthday?"

I fucking hate the media.

There was always a chance, I suppose, but the Thunder have had a good decision process that keeps them in the playoffs and being a profitable organization. My complaint is they were unwilling to spend the money and do what it takes for a legitimate chance at a championship. I never really expected Westbrook to come to the Lakers and always thought that was an unrealistic expectation. Westbrook has found his place and he is happy there. I wish him and you a successful season, but only because you're a nice person.

Congrats, OKC fans.

Took him long enough. But, I'm very happy he stayed.

After the blunders of players coming and going over the years, Presti did a fantastic job of revamping this team.

Westbrook really couldn't realistically ask for more.

I can't wait to see the New Thunder, Celtcs and Timberpups this Season.

Well this is bullshit. He's suppose to go into free agency for maximum drama. NBA Offseason Drama > all other sports

Random fanboys who know shit about basketball then.

It was mentioned on here a few times.

But, the prevailing thought was PG and LeBron, which looks less likely by the day. We shall see how PG and Russ play together. George might hate playing with Russ and Melo.

Misguided troll attempt.

I don't think the Warriors are threatened. In Russ' mind he probably thinks they will be better than GS. I just don't see any possible way that is true. GS has more, better players, amazing chemistry and better depth.

That said, still a spectacular summer for OKC.

Troll??? Bullshit. I made a true statement, nothing more. Russ is a competitor, end of story.
