lakers will be around for at least the next 3 years.. and after that.. then a proper assessment of their future can be made.. .. theres alof of good teams in the west.. OKC is just another one.. Durant is on his way but will he be more than the numbers who knows.. his jumpshot is his x-factor that he holds over many.. but can he lead , can he be a superstar.. yet to be seen.. contrary to popular belief but he is well on his way.

Like i say shit is not a perfect science in 3-4 years.. niggas dont grow their game.. teams dont automatically take that step up.. nothin is in stone.. let the boys play.

Durant has proved he has qualities of becomin a leader and that wuz reflected on his recent success with the usa team. What people dont get is that Durant is ONLY 21, jus been in the league for 3 years and each year he has shown a remarkable improvement and that can be reflected in his stats. This kid is a monster in the makin. If he is averagin 30 ppg when he's 21 what happens when he is 27 provided he dont get a career threatening injury?? I dont see a 34 year old Kobe puttin up the same stats..Lakers are done after 2 years

Your putting way to much stock in stats.. Team USA.. lol are u serious.. Like i saidhis shooting and him knowing that his shot is going in more times than not gives him that extra confidence and will carry him a long way.. The thing is Kobe doesnt have to put up the stats the effect he has on the game is beyond stats.. its the how and when you get those stats.. Again he is on his way.. lets not give niggas purple hearts before they goto war..

When the Thunder get a legit big man come holla at me.

To when championships in the NBA, you need a big man that can get at least 15 ppg, and 20+ when he is needed to be the go to.

Word to all of the teams that won the Finals (with an exception of Jordan's Bulls, of course) the last 30 years or so.

Harden, Ibaka, and Jeff Green are not good players on a championship team.

Harden is a 7th man at best, Jeff Green is way undersized and should be coming off the bench on a better team, and Ibaka won't really progress into anything special imo. He will be a big piece of the team for his size, but I don't see anything more than a 12-8 guy.

They're building which is a good thing, but I don't see them being serious contenders for another 3-4 years and that's only with different players to compliment Durant and Westbrook cause the guys they have now,,,,, naw.

Dont u think u are unfairly criticising young player who r still honing their skills and tryn to find they way in the league? All of em are raw talent. Give then time u wil see there best. Damn! They only 21...what they lack is experience and with time theyl get there...

The Blazers have more talent all around than the Thunder and you cant count out Sacramento either.

Cmon Jamaica. Your refusing to acknowledge that the Thunder hav the 3rd Best player(soon to be the best) in the league and on top of that he is sorrounded by madd talent. Who is tyreke or brandon roy compared to KD?? A 21 yr old Westbrooke is flirting wit a triple double every night and you stil choose to trash the Thunder??
