Just want to point out how potent OKCs starting 5 will be next season: Westbrook, Roberson, George, Patterson, Adams.

Really covers everything from shooting to defense. I could easily see them challenging for the 2 seed with that team. Bench probably needs to be filled out though. Correct me of I'm wrong but they basically traded Ibaka for PG.

I think Westbrook and George are two of the more overrated players in the league and I doubt Westbrook is able to repeat his shooing from last year.

That said, the defense should be unbelievable with Adams-George-Roberson.

Don't see them beating out Houston or SAS in the regular season but they'd have a shot against either team come the playoffs.

That is a potent team, no doubt. You guys made good points about their well rounded starting 5. We must keep in mind that Presti is a savy trader and he could finish the seasons roster in the february. Not in august as some teams (by mistake) do.

Except for passing.

Two non-passing bigs. Roberson non-passer. Too much Westbrook and P.George just doing their thing. Not enough teamwork / team passing. Too much individualism. One-on-one type play.

They will be predictable and top defenses in the playoffs will stop them. Built for the regular season. More work to be done to be a top playoff team.

If they could trade one of those bigs for a big man who can pass the ball, that would do wonders for their offense. I think they should be shopping Steven Adams. See if something is do-able (or not) to fix their lack of big man passing.

Ibaka for PG?   Why is this confusing to me....seems like one went to Orlando and Toronto and the other to OKC.

Because they traded ibaka for Sabonis, Oladipo and traded them for George.
