Celtics finds itself in the hunt. NBA Live Mobile Coins option would allow the Thunder to
capitalize on a Pissed Off Westbrook for a few months, let him pick up MVP
momentum and then cash out when his stock couldn't be higher, all without
leveraging the team's future.The risk here is winning enough games early on to
drop the team from a top-five pick in the 2017 draft to the mushy 9-12 range.
But Presti and assistant
GM Troy Weaver have been excellent in the draft, and the upside of this plan
might be the highest.Whatever Oklahoma City does, there's sure going to be a lot
less hope for immediate glory and many, many more losses. Monday's defeat was,
unfortunately, only the first. It's not often that a former league MVP becomes
an unrestricted free agent while in his prime. Other than LeBron James, who's
purposely manipulated his contracts so that he'd have the freedom to choose his
employer as frequently as possible, it's hard to remember the last player of
Kevin Durant's caliber that was truly up for grabs.
That's whyDurant's decision to join the Golden State Warriors registers as a
momentous occasion. The team that just finished with the best regular season
record in NBA history hasadded one of the league's very best players.Durant is
coming of a season in which he averaged 28 points, five assists and eight
rebounds per game. He shot 51 percent from the field and 39 percent from
deep.
He's a beast of a Buynba2k.com scorer, but an efficient one, too. His Buy NBA 2K18 VC long limbs and
nearly 7-foot frame have the ability to wreak on the defensive end, as we saw in
the Western Conference playoffs against the Warriors.That series didn't end as
Durant hoped -- that he and OKC let Golden State come back from a 3-1 deficit
was certainly disappointing. Instead of trying to beat them, Durant has decided
to join them.
