    We are Oklahoma City.

    We are not Miami. We are not L.A, or New York. Heck, we're not even Oakland/San Francisco.

    Presti can't make free agents want to come here. He sure can't make them stay when they'd rather be the #1 guy in Houston.

    Durant told us all these years he wanted to stay with one club his entire career, and hang his number up in the rafters.

    Then he took less money to go to Golden State, and is going to re-work his contract to take less money next year to stay at Golden State.

    Presti can't do anything about that shit. Put Presti in any of those other cities, and he's got Free agents flocking to him, and builds an unbelievable dynasty.

    That is definitely part of it. And you've been pretty unlucky... He's a really smart GM. But nevertheless, he gambled on breaking up the big 3 and that just was objectively the wrong move in hindsight. Everything else has flowed from that. It's arguably been much more catastrophic than you could have anticipated for precisely the reasons you just stated - how will you ever attract that type of superstar talent again? You can't. You have to retain it at all costs.

    It feels like even the Monforts have gotten more serious about winning than the Kroenkes in recent years. The Avs can't fall any lower, and the Nuggets haven't been relevant since Melo got shipped out.

    Draft night was brutal. I still love that stupid franchise.

    You're unhappy with essentially trading Serge Ibaka for Paul George?

    Paul George and Westbrook together could be a force to reckon with

    No worries.

    And it's essentially trading Ibaka for Paul George AND Jerami Grant.

    Roberson back?

    Westbrook-Roberson-George-Kanter-Adams...that's a pretty good five.

    They can hide Kanter defensively a little bit in that line-up. I am still puzzled how someone so good scoring and rebounding inside is such a terrible defender. Kanter is a mystery on that note.

    Denver has had Kanter light for years: Faried. I feel your pain.
