The Nets are pursuing this guy huge and you know a few other teams have been mentioned. Why aren't the Lakers throwing Andrew Bynum and someone else in the mix for him? I guarantee you we get chip if we get D Howard with Kobe right now AND secures our future when Kobe leaves. Cmon son you know D Howard wants to play there.

    I'd go ahead and drop off either Metta World Peace and big Andrew Bynum throw in some scrubs or draft picks and they're good. ? i'd even go as far as saying they should trade LO. We need that chip man for reals

    What makes you think they aren't going after him? Because it isn't reported? Lmao..

    A whole lot is going behind the scenes right now that isn't available to the public immediately.

    Wil kobe accept to play 2nd fiddle? Maybe yall want a big man to carry kobe to his 6th ring and start those dumb MJ-kobe debates. Im glad KD aint gon allow that. U can get Howard or whoever but no squad is as talented as OKC.

    The Same KD who couldnt even command the basketball from Westbrook and just let westbrook run wild in the playoffs with more shot attemtps ?? Sounds like he played 2nd fiddle to me

    what let down OKC in the WCF wuz inexperience. That game 4 meltdown against da Mavs wil never happen again. I mean, KD is comin back better than last season, Russ has been workin on his game, same as Ibaka and Harden and now we hav a healthy perk to protect the paint. ? , we ? loaded. Aint nobody touchn us, even if Lakers get howard. Our only threat is Miami.

    OKC having the most talent is very debatable.

    And all the talent in the world doesn't always equal chips. Mavs weren't the most talented team..

    And i don't think OKC will win a chip with Westbrook at the helm. Unless he matures and defers to KD more.

    If the Lakers were pushing THAT hard to make a trade for D Howard you would already hear it through the grapevine and through ESPN....cmon son the NETS? That franchise ain't even close to the Lakers and Celts. So the Celts mention one push for CP3 and it's on ESPN already...I'm tellin you man they ain't pursuin him like they should be or prolly not at all. They need to say ? this Bynum developing ? and ship that Mr Glass ?

    You're just misguided.

    Not everything runs through ESPN.

    Na ? your multiple threats is a point guard who thinks he's a shooting guard...word to Stephen Marbury and the Lakers coming back strong. Miami still gotta get through Chicago AND Boston if they get CP3.....u think Chicago ain't gonna beast with a healthy Booz? That ? was out the whole year and they still beasted. But for reals...Westbrook is gona be the downfall of y'all team you already can tell him and Durant be arguin about ?

    then who got better talent than Thunder? Im waitin. We got the best shot blocker, a top 5 player in da league, a top 5 pg in da league. Then we have the Beard and Perk. That squad is scary. As for Westbrook, presti and the management wil monitor his game early in the season and see if he is ready to play 2nd fiddle to KD. If not here comes CP3. But im sure Russ wil improve his decision makin and come december 10 presti should hand him a max contract. Okc is nuthn without RW but its KDs team.

    If the Lakers get Dwight.. They automatically become the favorite.. Especially if they can keep Pau... Or Lamar...

    If they manage to keep Pau AND have D Howard it literally is a wrap ? is done finito

    I'll just compare them to the Lakers, if they get Dwight, since you said they still wouldn't be on the Thunder's level...

    Dwight is the best shot blocker.
    Kobe and Dwight are arguably top 5.
    Westbrook > Fisher i'll give you that lol.
    Also Ron, Pau, Bynum, Shannon Brown, Odom (2 will probably be out, but still)

    A squad of Fisher, Kobe, Odom or Artest, Pau, Dwight w/ Shannon off the bench is better than anything OKC can put up.

    Without Rus they not a dominant team bruh. They good

    Without all his points and assist I don't think they make it to the playoffs.

    Plus he's one of the top defenders and rebounders at his position.

    agreed for all the jackin and not finishing close to the basket how he should.. hes a key cog to their success and is as good as everyones favorite new phenom in a lot of respects.. but they wont hear me.(talent wise)
