Re: Thunder sign Russell Westbrook to multi-year extension!
I didn't know it was one player either because all the reports I read was that Westbrook was eligible if he met one of the criteria by seasons end. but OKC had until sometime next week (deadline for extensions?) to sign him for less than what he would be eligible for. Pretty cool Westbrook sticking around. They should be able to keep harden/ibaka now. But I'm sure they'll be in the luxury tax. Hope they can afford that.
Re: Thunder sign Russell Westbrook to multi-year extension!
This basically guarantees that OKC will be a contender for at least another 3 years. They have everyone signed and ready to go.
They're in a great position.

K.D. and Russell Westbrook until 2017 :bowdown:
Guess they like OKC after all. Didn't the Lakers think their boy was going to come home? :banana:
Re: Thunder sign Russell Westbrook to multi-year extension!
Damn.
Was hoping he'd at least reach restricted free agency so the Raptors could throw a max deal at him. OKC would likely match any offer sheet anyways but still, maybe a tiny chance to get him.

Happy to see my 2nd favorite player get paid:applause:
Re: Thunder sign Russell Westbrook to multi-year extension!
Westbrook is a great player but here's an honest reservation/observation I have. I wouldn't have him as my franchise player. Something about the way he plays makes me think that he doesn't always stop for red lights. :lol
Re: Thunder sign Russell Westbrook to multi-year extension!
Just heard his interview on the OKC Sports Animal.
Westbrook said:
---Loves OKC. :bowdown:
---Loves his teammates. Him and KD are great friends, and the supposed argument they had in the huddle the other day was discussing where Perkins was suppose to be on the play
---Perkins is the best big defender in the NBA
---Kevin Love is a the real deal and about to be healthily compensated
---Said OKC is his first team, and he and the rest of his teammates want to keep this team together to get a title
