WOW
WESTBROOK JUST RESIGNED WITH OKC. 5 years. AWESOME! I figured he was sure to walk after this year, searching for a championship somewhere else or go back to LA where he grew up. What a stud http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2...205m-extension |

This will really help give OKC stability and possibly attract some FA's. Hopefully Steven Adams can take that next step. I'm not as high on Steven Adams like alot of people. He gets so many easy baskets from the attention Westbrook gets, does not have elite athleticism, isn't a great shot blocker or even a great rebounder. Probably gets 7-8 ppg a game just strictly from Westbrooks dump offs and wide open alley oops that any schmuck could make. He is a very good positional post defender, though.

He did it on Durant's birthday too. I'm guessing that may not be a coincidence.

Well that does nothing to encourage Paul George to go to LA.
I still can't figure out how Julius Randle to Indy for PG wasn't a better package than what they got. Best answer I can come up with was that it clearly was but Indy's GM was pissed and wasn't going to send George to LA via trade. |

You're going to have high assists when you're pretty much the only guy who gets to control the ball.

He's certainly not John Stockton or Jason Kidd but he can get others involved. |

Who is he supposed to pass it to? I wouldn't pass it to Kyle Singler either. I do wish he would stop taking so many ill advised shots, but his mid range game does make him less exploitable. It makes defenders keep him honest so he can either pull up from 3, drive and pull up, or go all the way to the basket. Part of his reckless nature gets him to draw TONNNS of fouls. If he could ever be a .390 3-point shooter he would be impossible to defend.

Westbrook is one of a kind. I hope it pays off.

I wish I knew a little more about how the designated rookie max vs. the regular ol' max (and the supermax) worked.
Because I fail to see how guaranteeing Embiid $30 million/yr now is smarter than making him wait for a year to see if he can put up any kind of track record of reliability. Unless the max he'd have been eligible for after this season was potentially much larger, the risk wouldn't seem to justify the reward. |

The 76ers are taking a big gamble with that signing. |
