That'd really put a damper on our offseason ceiling.   I know Durant is a long-shot either way, but the way these playoffs are shaking out (Clippers off the board, Steph injured at the moment), it's not unthinkable that the Zombie Sonics win the title and Durant locks in long-term. 

If there's anything left to root for in these playoffs, it's probably a Thunder collapse.

I trust the Spurs to do what is right for us (destroying OKC)
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

KD will absolutely no longer want to stay in this depleted team(OKC)
If he wants to play with RW how about call him to come here too when FA

RW
Butler
KD
6th man IT

we won't need to clean the farm for Cousins then and can have very strong bench with 4 stars

I will take all my "why would Durant stay in OKC" comments back if they get crushed by the Spurs in this series.

If officially stealing the term zombie sonics for use in the real world. If this comes up, let this be my evidence.

Also yea the spurs are even better than I thought, and man OKC has a bad coaching staff. I honestly think I'd rather take doc over donovan. He is awful.

Because Durant might reconsider resigning with the Thunders and increase our chance on signing him ;)

weird game.  Durant and Westbrook were terrible and Aldridge basically couldn't miss.  Don't expect either of those to continue.

It's going to be fun, as an old coach, to watch Pop absolutely destroy Billy Donovan.

There won't be anything left of Donovan but bones after the series.

They just never take contested or post-fake threes, Patty Mills gets a bit trigger happy, he's streaky but knows when to stop shooting. They do the inside-outside thing relentlessly. Lamarcis seems to have developed even better ballhandling skills, if that's possible. If Durant stays in OKC he is foolish and naive. Steven Adams is the only good move that franchise has ever made since the 08 draft. And I still think letting Harden go was one of their better moves...
