I would have loved to have seen Kevin Love play for this team. Imagine trying to defend a screen and roll between Durant and Love?

I was a bit down on the Westbrook pick, thought it was too high, but hopefully it plays out right. He showed some encouraging signs in summer league.

its also obvious that any post made has been by a seattle resident, they had 41 years in seattle and did real well with it, battling for last year in and year out, aside from years with 1 good player per year(ray allen) and now a rising player(durant), i bet the players are happy to get a city, where the 4th day of sales, they had to shut down sales because every ticket is accounted for. yea, I’d prolly wanna stay in seattle too.

Wow..only 5 comments.

Apparently there are season ticket holders IN OKC but this response says that Dime readers don’t care much about the Thunder.

@Ray
Westbrook is bigger, more athletic and a better PG than Jerryd Bayless. I agree with the choice at the #4 pick.

That said, Westbrook and Durant are the only players on this team that would start on a 50-win team. Wilcox and Green are solid players but don’t have the skills to be starters.

This team is a lot like the Nets – they’ll be fun to watch but they are gonna get killed on most nights.

As a Sonics fan (but not a Thunder fan) I do wish them the best but KD et al are really doing to struggle. The backcourt isn’t bad but the frontcourt is so shallow an ant wouldnt drown in it.

I think they’ll win 21 games

The Sonics, oh no sorry i mean the Thunder have a somewhat legitimate lineup this year. Besides waisting their #4 pick in this years draft on Russell Westbrook and possibly selecting stud Jereyd Bayless, with the duo of Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, the Thunder have a decent chance at not being the laughing stock of the league(not like thier team name isn’t helping). The only problem is that OKC does not have a big man that can even come close to handling some one like Kevin Garnet or Kevin Love for that matter. I’ll be pulling for this team and hope they don’t lose every game.
