Welcome to the new era of Spurs basketball, Aldridge and Leonard. The Thunder have no chance in this series, the window has closed for this team.
The window closed when they traded Harden to save a couple bucks. They could have easily kept Harden and Ibaka, but didn't want to pay the luxury tax.
They also should have fired Scott Brooks about two years sooner than they did.
Durant needs to find a new team this summer.
Rumors have him going everywhere (mostly WAS), but I expect he stays in OKC for two reasons:
- More money (no one else can offer him what they can)
- He seems to be legitimately in the foxhole with Russ
And if he
does bolt, Russ is gone the second his contract is up.
