Westbrook talent aside, his attitude is just bad ass. Kinda has the him against the world attitude and isn't afraid to fail doing it all himself. He's in a win win situation in OKC right now. Hes the anti ring chaser star that fans bitch about.Thunder fans will love him win or lose and NBA fans in general will be tuning in just to see what kind of stats he can put up . His usage rate will be ridiculous! Gonna be fun to watch . Anyone think Oladipo will have a career year?

The opportunity is there for Dipo but my guess is Adams will add to his scoring totals and Kanter has actually been even better with OKC on a per minute basis than he was with Utah. All of those guys could have career years.

Well there will be rebounds and put backs to be had from Westbrook going to the hole at will.

I loved the Oladipo / Sabonis / Ilyasova trade for the Thunder and think Durant was a fool for leaving. In my opinion those acquisitions would have been enough to get them past GSW next season had Durant chosen to stay.

Absolutely love the backcourt pairing of Westbrook and Oladipo. Adams is a stud and I believe Cameron Payne will be a very good point guard. I see them anywhere between the 4th and 8th seed.

Westbrook and Oladipo will be a tremendous defensive tandem for the Thunder. Adams is already a terrific defender and rebounder. I think Sabonis is going to be really good pro and Kanter's a very good player.

If Iyasova can play at least 70 games he will be a nice complimentary player for them He fits really well as stretch 4.

I wouldn't be so sure. Westbrook was already taking most seasons off defensively... before ramping it back up midway through the playoffs. He CAN be great defensively... but he's actually been closer to James Harden level in recent seasons (regular season).

With his usage going through the roof, I wouldn't expect more of a commitment on that side of the court any time soon.

He can do the Beasley thing play in China for a few months make a nice chunk of money then come over here and make a few hundred thousand on a playoff team that hopes they can find lightning in a bottle. He would be better served playing in a Europe league where he might figure out how to play within a team and if he actually shows something it will be worth considering.

All-talent but has issues team that are not signed by an NBA team but could be playing (no injuries holding them back or being old)

Ty Lawson
Lance Stephenson
Michael Beasley
Josh Smith
Larry Saunders (at least he has chosen his fate)

On talent alone that's a nice collection of players. Anyone else you want to add?
