a sign that okc is going to full rebuild. Wonder which guys they keep. paul's the obvious piece but gallinari can fetch something in a s/t, schroder is good enough to start for someone. i think adams is tough to move but he has a year left

That is a good thing. They have been a first round exit 4 years in a row. Chris Paul has been good, but he isn't going to lead you far going forward. He'll be 36 next year. Time to rebuild. A contender will trade picks for CP3.

Awful, awful NBA coach. I'd be surprised if he found another job.

I’d argue he has done a great job with the shitty teams he had

Yes I said it. Westbrook and PG were a terrible combination of talent, both playoff chokers

You could argue he underachieved in 2018 and 2019, but I wouldn't say he is an awful coach. At the end of the day it is a players league and Westbrook and George didn't get it done. 2018 was embarrassing with how bad Westbrook and George shot. Even more embarrassing by how they let rookie Donovan Mitchell completely dominate them. Yeah part of it is coaching, but established stars got to step up. They are beyond coaching.

Presti trades Harden for a bag of peanuts


The dominoes have been falling ever since


Worst move in NBA history... in hindsight trading Westbrook would've been the best move in history. But even at the time, Ibaka was always the guy that was expendable/should've been traded. That's not even hindsight. I can't believe that nerd traded Harden for a rental of Kevin Martin and a pick that winded up being the putrid Steven Adams. My god!!!

Wow Chris Paul disappearing act was the nail in the coffin for poor Billy D. He never had a chance. Everyone said Chris Paul was the coach and Billy D had his secrit formula play calling.
