Speculating: Durant and Westbrook could be joining Lakers

Sooo... all it will be is OKC with less talent and what would that mean exactly?

Will it really be less talent going forward.  Sure right now, but going forward aren't Randle and Russell going to provide more talent than OKC which is getting pretty old. 

I mean what team in 2017/8 is better Westbrook, Russell, Durant, Randle, Hibbert or Westbrook, Roberson, Durant, Ibaka, Adams.  Plus the Lakers might actually add a top 3 pick this season.  It isn't quite as easy when you start projecting down the line and what Randle and Russell might become (they could also flame out and be bad).

I personally think Durant goes to Washington and then RW goes to LAL.  That's what makes the most sense to me.

So you post this just to make me unable to sleep tonight?

LA is always willing to spend. Durant will attract FA, unlike Kobe the last few years.

Sure, if you think LA can pay all of them and give them touches. Not all players are willing to defer to KD and WB. They will when they are young but imagine if they really become more talented than a Iblocka and Kanter... do you really think that much talent can coexist? Doubt it.

 Yes NG, I enjoy watching you squirm.

lol, like Hibbert's a factor in this.
