I think this is the series OKC finally takes that step and becomes the powerhouse in the West. I see OKC taking down the Lakers in 5 games. Westbrook will feast on Sessions, and Harden will feast on LA and World Peace.

OKC in 5 or Lakers in 7.

This series will not end in 6 games, UNLESS it's the Lakers ending it. Kobe won't lose in his house to get knocked out... This series is interesting. LA has to feed there big men and not forget about them.

MWP is motivated, in shape, and rested. He will give Durant problems as he always has. Kobe will take turns getting to guard Westbrook. If anyone recalls Kobe guarded Westbrook the last game they played and made him go 3-22 in that game. Only thing is that he can't guard the fastest NBA player an entire series while he has to drop around 30PPG.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
