I don't see why they can't both be great Point Guards but Westbrook is the best I agree. I think they should strongly consider trading Durant for a monster package and build around Westbrook.

They're both good players, but Westbrook is better. & I think he's better than durant also and I'd build around him before durant.

Durant for John Wall and Gortat.

Durant for Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah, and Taj Gibson

Durant for Eric Bledsoe and the Morris brothers

Durant for Cousins, Collison, and draft picks

Those are all deals that the other team would gladly take IMO. I'm sure the Thunder got easily milk them for more.

You guys are crazy talking about trading Durant, they compliment each other so well. Yes, Westbrook is a beast, but he still has some nights where he has trouble shooting the ball. The thing that makes him so good is his intensity, athleticism, and his ability to distribute the ball even when he's going on a rampage. If his shots aren't falling though, Durant is that perfect player to create his own shot and take over the game for a little. Because Westbrook can contribute in all categories, especially defensively. I don't think they would ever trade Durant, and please don't say Westbrook is better because of these recent games. They are impressive, but you gotta realize Westbrook has also taken a lot of heat for taking more shots than Durant, resulting in a lot of Ls in the past. He is definitely playing on a whole other level this year though.

I've been saying westbrook is the best PG in the game over a year, before that, I believed it was chris paul, but CP3 is aging and starting to not be how he used to

Don't know why there has to be a ranking of them. They're both MVP candidates that kill you in different ways, one being the most athletic PG in league history, the other being the best shooter in NBA history. Sounds crazy, but no, that is not hyperbole.

Right now though, Westbrook is playing a video game on easy mode.

I been saying Westbrook was the most important player on the Thunder for a while.  Everybody saying Durant was the MVP last year, when he wasn't even the MVP to his own team.

 

Yes, he had an amazing season, but that team lived and died by Westbrook.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
