The Blue Board

I mean hell Lebron had to switch teams to go title chasing and he still can't get one.

It's gonna be a long road for both of them, neither win this year if the spurs play like they are now. You never know with old pat, he could ship bosh off after this year to develop a quality bench or maybe get a center that's worth a damn. OKC will probably lose harden or ibaka but hopefully not both. Both of these teams would be perennial conference finals contenders/champions but things can shake up fast in this league. But to answer the question, my heart say lebron but my head says durant

OKC would likely have to get rid of Ibaka Or Harden because they won't be able to afford to keep both, there is a good chance someone offers Harden close to a max deal.

I'm not sayin they should but you can't predict what pat will do

They already gave Durant and Westbrook huge deals. They would have to pay massive amounts of luxury tax, while they might be able to extend Ibaka and Harden and keep them for 2-3 years I don't think their owner has the money to keep paying the luxury tax.

Anyway I think OKC is overrated, outside of Harden their bench isn't very good and they don't have any inside presence offensively.

Salary Cap is about 58 million, Durant, Westbrook and Perkins will be making a combined 42 million next season, that leaves 16 million to go around the remaining 9-11 roster spots without going into luxury tax.

they adjusted the rules though and it costs the owners like 50 cents for every dollar they are over the cap with the luxury tax thing so it will depend on how much their owner wants to pay out of pocket for them.

I'm hoping that if he's willing to steal a team from another city, he'll be willing to pay up when this team has the potential to make multiple championsip runs. I'm not saying it's going to happen, just a fan hoping it will.

he may want to, but there is the question of if he can even afford to do it. I dont know anything about the owner though so i couldnt say for sure.
