If the Wiz make the conference finals (which I think they will) how does that affect the debate? Easier bracket or better players? Wall and Beal are really good, and they deserve alot of credit, but they would not beat the Bulls without Nene and Gortat playing as well as they did IMO . But I like their team, well balanced scoring and no one player is trying to do too much, and that's key when you consider that a guy like Wall could very well try and take over every game in a playoff series, and maybe Beal too. But the egos seem to be in check, and they are working well together. That type of maturity is nice to see in great young players. The future looks bright for the Wiz, and I gotta say that I like that idea. I kind of get sick of the same teams having success most years, it's nice to see some of the "lesser" teams like the Raps and Wiz make some headway. Let's hope it continues.

I guess I should clarify. What I mean is that your strengths need to be in the front court. You need to be dominant in the front court more so than back court. There's obviously nothing wrong with having a strong backcourt.your pal,

Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Hope you're wrong.

The make up of the rest of the team becomes the decisive factor.
i think 2016 will decide which one of these teams will be the powerhouse of the East.

Hate to burst anyone's bubbles. But i can't see KD going anywhere. He's like a hero there in OKC. I also remember an interview a couple of years ago where KD mentioned he likes to spend the rest of his career in OKC.
And really, if you're KD, why would you leave?? OKC is a perennial championship contending team. He loves it there. The people there loves him. And he's going to get paid, he's going to get a good offer from the Thunder for sure once he becomes a FA. So why would you leave?
If you want a big name free agent. You target Kevin Love.Last edited by The Great One; Sat May 10, 2014, 06:43 PM.Mamba Mentality

Also, OKC is a perennial championship contender, but a lot of teams would be too with KD on the roster. And he knows that. Any fan base where he played would love him - hell we love him and all he's done for us so far is say he liked the raps as a kid (and light us up for 51 points). He'll get paid anywhere he goes, and money will be thrown at him by all 30 teams. He'd leave for a better situation, he'd leave because he doesn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, he'd leave to get to wear a different uniform, hell there are tons of reasons why he'd leave. The OKC ownership is pretty cheap (they weren't willing to pay to keep harden) and it remains to be seen if they'll be able to keep Westbrook, Ibaka and KD. Not saying he's coming to the raptors but if you're him you're seriously listening to every other offer come free agency.A key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock

I think any player with a brain would refrain from bad mouthing his current employer and alienating the fan base by saying "yeah, OKC is nice, but I don't know if I want to stay here forever." Of course he's going to say he'd like to stay.
