I doubt we will see that KD and Westbrook tandem but well, Thunders knows how to find talents before but sadly they didn't became champs with them.
That's why they are planning to rebuild again, there are young talents that might come and lead the team to more success.
No team can make a player to stay forever, though westbrook is no doubt one of the best player in the NBA but he is not a good example of a team leader, and we all know basketball is a team game and not only a one man game, so even with his very awesome triple double stats its still useless if he cannot lead his team to be in the NBA finals and to win.
But Kobe Bryant stayed to Lakers until he retired?
Thunders is sort of a talent scout but they should start getting their team rebuild and I hope they can cope up with the next season.
I thought Kobe let the Lakers management chooses between him and Shaq? That's why Shaq was traded and Kobe became the Alpha in Lakers. Although he proved his worth by winning a championship without Shaq.
Thunder needs to overhaul, from the players to the management. Obviously, Russ can't give the city it's ring because he is a good individual talent, however, winning championship is more of a team effort. He should move and try to find a good partner. Him and George was good, but not enough to even win against Portland.
