can't wait to watch this two athletic players playing in the same team this was a great move by okc getting rid of ibaka and bringing up a guard that they really needed also that ibaka trade created cap space great move by okc
+Optimus Dime I get that, but most of the starting line up wasn't healthy while Durant was gone. Westbrook was really the only one that consistently showed up and wasn't injured. +Durant's replacement was Kyle Singler and when Russ was injured and Durant played, his replacement was Reggie Jackson who is q good starter. I think if Adams develops his offensive game s bit more I don't see why they can't be a top 5 seed. If Portland can make the playoffs, OKC can be better because their big men are better.
+Optimus Dime They still make the playoffs though. I honesty think the East is deeper than the West. The only real improvements made by West teams were KD to GS and Pau to SA. In the east, the Pacers made big moves, The Knicks, and the Bulls. The East will be tougher than the West this year.
+GodMelo Anthony Oliadpo Is kinda like a poor mans Dwade maybe he can prove me wrong one day but Im pretty sure Oladipo will be an all star next year trust me
+joe draw it came off the bench cause of Wesley Matthews but did good in the playoff against Memphis last season he was always nice just needed more opportunities
Now they're teammates and Westbrook does what he does best...pad his stats and hold his teammates back. Oladipo should be having a breakout season in OKC but he's become more of a spot-up shooter instead, which is not his game. He was an all-around player in Orlando but that's no longer the case. He can't even show his playmaking skills off because Westbrook likes to hog the ball and only passes so he could rack up more assists and make his numbers look impressive on the stat sheets.
Mi Ming L,Oladipo is garbage....he is extremely inconsistent and gets wide open shots from Russ and constantly bricks them....if you re in the nba,you should be able to hit wide open shots especially as a shooting guard.
Do you even watch the NBA? Did you even see Oladipo play in Orlando? He's taking more threes this season than he did in any of his previous three seasons with the Magic. Yeah, he gets open shots, but the dude's not a spot-up shooter. HE IS NOT A SPOT-UP SHOOTER! His position has nothing to do with his inability to knock down open threes because Dwyane Wade, one of the best shooting guards in his prime, was never known as a three-point shooter in his career. Oladipo was an all-around playmaker in Orlando who could rebound, pass, and defend, but he's become more of a spot-up shooter in OKC because Westbrook likes to hog the ball and make everyone around him look inferior.
If you really watch OKC games, their offense is basically Westbrook dominating the ball while everyone else picks their spots and waits for a pass, then Westbrook either shoots or passes to an open teammate and hopes to get an assist. Their offense is pretty stagnant; not a lot of extra passes, screens, or ball movement involved. They should just demote Oladipo to the bench and put his playmaking skills to use by letting him operate the second unit instead of starting with Westbrook and just standing outside the three-point area practically all the time because that's clearly not his game.
I say the same thing they have no clue how good Vic is because Westbrook is only using him as a spot up shooter which by far I'd not his came..vic needs the ball in his hands
Every time we play the thunder some crazy shit go down.... If the Magic want to start winning again Vucevic is going to have to get 25-30 a night. Every night
Starting five will be Russ at 1 Vic at 2 Roberson at 3 Durant at 4 and Adams at 5. Kanter 6th man. I can imagine Sabonis getting good minutes and maybe moving into starting PF position then moving Roberson to bench. Payne can also be getting good points with his high upside. Waiters will be low on depth chart if he is resigned.
waiter is a gd guy but after oladipo comes, morrow and singler will have less and less time to play morrow is pretty gd in my opinion but need to strengthen on defense
lmao who on magic gonna do that for them now, ibaka was becoming a liability on offense , chucking up way too many 3s.Hes a good player regardless but oladipo is younger and better.
+Joel Joseph funny enough Oladipo is the one that got blocked at the end lmao OKC need to play as a team that got them up 3-1 and stop this hero ball shit when they go cold, hopefully Adams becomes the force that Ibaks once was on D
+Farah Fawcett that's why okc front office is making sure that durant and westbrook have help i think it was a good thing that they lost that 3-1 lead against the warriors cause that send a message to okc management and forced them to make moves
I really believe they will get another PF in FA. Kanter's defense actually isnt that good. The more minutes he plays the more the opposing teams can score. KD & Russ have to play catch up. Now that they have a bench from the magic trade. Kanter. May have to be traded. Ibaka was actually a presence.
+Kirby Wizard_64 yep. We all thought he'd stay but alas he wanted an easy ring. Thunder will be 8th seed at best and a Pissed Westbrook will be in the running for MVP.
Honestly even tho the move kd made was a lor weak I'm not at him for it but watching this video made me see part of the reason he left u constantly see him with his hand in the air callin for the ball kd knows it's time for a change and so does wb they both need there own teams kd needs the ball in his hand to be effective and sure draymond and curry are gonna get there touches but kd is the best player on that team now and everybody knows next to his mvp season This will be kd best year yet
I would trade Kyle, Payne, & Kanter to 3 different teams for a top ten 2017 pick, a back up center & a young 3&D wing who can put the ball on the floor. With that much cap room. Ill sign KD and go after a PF like Horford or Josh Smith.
i really think Presti will do nothing with the back-up 3-D Wing he'll just start playing Josh Huestis who in limited playing time this season showed glimpse(s) that he could be a decent back-up to Durant plus he's a 3-D guy and has a better form on his jump-shot than Robertson as for Singler they gotta dump his inconsistent ass off the team and Keep Payne and Kanter for the 2nd Unit...they also gotta resign Waiters for that 2nd Unit to work...as for the real problem who starts the 4?
I agree with a lot you said. Truth be told Josh Heustis did improve, but with all honesty they have Ersan. I see the starting line up Hamilton will prolly start at the 2.. Horford at the 4. It was just reported he is being pursued. Russ Ham, KD, Horford, & Adams. Kanter may be traded. His D really did hurt them against GSW. Speights dropped 28 on him. Smh. Ibaka & Adams had to cover for him alot. I dont see him starting either. If they get Horford its over lol... but Kanter may be getting traded, & Kyle for cap space.
Jeremy Roberts all i know is they gotta get rid of Singers huge ass contract that he hasn't been playing up too...probably trade him and Horford was unfortunately signed by the Celtics this morning.... btw who is Hamilton? Serge was a huge loss for the Thunder but it made sense since he'd would be become a Free Agent nxt season..i trust Presti was and always will make the right move(S) tho
can't wait to watch this two athletic players playing in the same team this was a great move by okc getting rid of ibaka and bringing up a guard that they really needed also that ibaka trade created cap space great move by okc
Oladipo gonna be allstar next year
Orlando and OKC have given us two great games this season
And a one sided trade in OKC's favor lol
+Scott Pox w
Oladipo + Westbrook will be one hell of a backcourt 👍✔
Yo, my boy Westbrook was beasting, but his defense was WAY to far off Oladipo! This WON'T fly versus the Warriors Russ!!!
He didn't go off til they switched . Singular and waiters on him ..
Cant wait for next season. WB and Oladipo best backcourt of 2017!!
What a game by Westbrook!
Had come here after I heard about the trade
+Optimus Dime And just got scarier again by getting Durant's soft ass out of there...
+Optimus Dime I get that, but most of the starting line up wasn't healthy while Durant was gone. Westbrook was really the only one that consistently showed up and wasn't injured. +Durant's replacement was Kyle Singler and when Russ was injured and Durant played, his replacement was Reggie Jackson who is q good starter.

Same but the Pacer trade.
Welcome to OKC Victor
KD would be stupid to leave now, he's got a two-headed monster of a backcourt now to back him up! =)
Ik u shitty
He can get buckets ill give him that , Maybe a allstar one day
+GodMelo Anthony Oliadpo Is kinda like a poor mans Dwade maybe he can prove me wrong one day but Im pretty sure Oladipo will be an all star next year trust me
Y'all be ready for the thunder, beast backcourt with Vic and Russ
+Victor Jennings I aplaud you superfluous use of experlatives
Westbrook The Point God
now they gonna be the top backcourt
Top 5 players from the Anthony Bennett draft
1. Cj McCollum
2. Rudy Gobert
3. Oladipo
4. Giannis
5. ?????
shabazz,Kelly olynyk, Steven Adam , Nerlens Noel
Ben Mclemore
Dj akademiks
+TheButler DidIT how you gonna say CJ? he has had a good season but did nothing before this one
+joe draw it came off the bench cause of Wesley Matthews but did good in the playoff against Memphis last season he was always nice just needed more opportunities
Okc was missing players that can shot the ball beyond the ark so that's a good trade
now the newest powerful backcourt😏😂
Best backcourt in the NBA!! Thunder Up
OKC 2017 NBA Champions
no kd 2 miami
and kd to gsw
Future of the Thunder
Can't wait for the playoffs. Warriors watch out
haha, oladipo is now on the thunder.
I can't wait man that's to powerful Westbrook victor and kd Warriors need to sit aside
I think he's got it
Now they're teammates and Westbrook does what he does best...pad his stats and hold his teammates back. Oladipo should be having a breakout season in OKC but he's become more of a spot-up shooter instead, which is not his game. He was an all-around player in Orlando but that's no longer the case.

Vibe Major L XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
Russell with the crazy triple double
But Oladipo is just so smooth
3:19 3:26 5:08 5:10 5:03 6:12
that game is so awesome
go russ and kd ;)
Welcome to OKC
Oladipo and Westbrook playing together this year ...
welcome to okc
foreshadowing!
#THUNDERUP OLA and WES WESSSSS Ya'LLLL
What a great game it was. KD got the last laugh though.
Ridiculous how he blantantly travels. WB
Every time we play the thunder some crazy shit go down.... If the Magic want to start winning again Vucevic is going to have to get 25-30 a night. Every night
Was the camera sped up no way steven adams is that fast
haha funny a lot of OKC fans checking this stuff! are we gonna get rid of waiters? ilyasova on PF position. i wonder if Westbrook goes to SG position.
Nah Waiters should stay a 6 man
WB and OKC fan here there is no way WB is playing SG
Starting five will be Russ at 1 Vic at 2 Roberson at 3 Durant at 4 and Adams at 5. Kanter 6th man. I can imagine Sabonis getting good minutes and maybe moving into starting PF position then moving Roberson to bench. Payne can also be getting good points with his high upside. Waiters will be low on depth chart if he is resigned.
waiter is a gd guy
but after oladipo comes, morrow and singler will have less and less time to play
morrow is pretty gd in my opinion but need to strengthen on defense
+Nick Green i doubt that line up. ilyasova will be 4th oladipo waiters and kanter will be coming off the bench.
I don't think people realise how important Serge is on D, if Ibaka didn't make that block at the end would they still've won?
I'm with you.....I'm not so sure they got better less they keep waiters some how or entes kanter becomes at least a solid defender and starts
lmao who on magic gonna do that for them now, ibaka was becoming a liability on offense , chucking up way too many 3s.Hes a good player regardless but oladipo is younger and better.
+Joel Joseph funny enough Oladipo is the one that got blocked at the end lmao OKC need to play as a team that got them up 3-1 and stop this hero ball shit when they go cold, hopefully Adams becomes the force that Ibaks once was on D
+Farah Fawcett that's why okc front office is making sure that durant and westbrook have help i think it was a good thing that they lost that 3-1 lead against the warriors cause that send a message to okc management and forced them to make moves
+mqmoreno23 definitely, still disappointed they chose Ibaka over Harden only to end up trading him, OKC should've had multiple rings by now!
Wow, lot of poor defense from Vic, didn't expect to see that in this highlight.
my hopes for okc after free agency
1. Russel Westbrook
2. Victor Oladipo
3. Kevin Durant
4. Steven Adams
5. Al Horford
Horford would play 4 tho
Horford signed with the Celtics
Durant is out of the picture. now you will know what it is to be the Magic fan. lol.
We in Orlando have been through this stage around 4 times.
Except we have russel and oladipo
Anthony Douglas Russell is leaving.
DUEL: Victor Oladipo vs Russel Westbrook.
WINNER: Serge Ibaka.
Funny and ironic that Okc traded Serge for Victor Oladipo
salman sufi Twat
Tobias Harris is awesome
Is this the game russ had 20 ast and a triple double god damn. 11 at half thats a lot of assist.
OLADIPO-0pts WESTBROOK-2pts SICK DUELS
What's the name of the song before the. Game
I really believe they will get another PF in FA. Kanter's defense actually isnt that good. The more minutes he plays the more the opposing teams can score. KD & Russ have to play catch up. Now that they have a bench from the magic trade. Kanter. May have to be traded. Ibaka was actually a presence.
Since when did fouls, turnovers, and missed shots become highlights?
Dwyane Wade's highlights vs mavs plus??
Dipo was an upgrade from Ibaka. Durant was dumb for leaving
4:37 oh my god!!!
It was pretty much a heave
Thunder should get rubio from wolves. This team needs a playmaker
so what's wrestbrook? 🤔
pls what's the song name pls at debut
Jazz vs Magic in the finals this year.. Book it
L
Victor oladipo reminds me so much of a. Young dwade
Poor mans
+Huey Freeman right
+Huey Freeman
A VERY poor man's.. like a nigga on EBT, livin in Section 8..
+Dell Pc23 your 100% right perfect example
best back court in the league?.....John wall Bradley beal....who else can even be on the discussion
Curry and Klay Lillard Mccollum
+Hamze Ahmed didn't even think of them good look
bledsoe and knight
Westbrook.
Oladipo.
Durant.
We might get Al hortford.
Adams.
Let's go okc.
its funny the 2nd pick turned into this and the 1st pick was sent to the D-league and just came into the main nba
oladipo reminds me of a jason richardson type of player
aaaaand now there teammates. if KD stays this team is lethal.
Nope :(
+Kirby Wizard_64 yep. We all thought he'd stay but alas he wanted an easy ring. Thunder will be 8th seed at best and a Pissed Westbrook will be in the running for MVP.
Waiting on John Wall Vs Steph Curry
now is teammate
Honestly even tho the move kd made was a lor weak I'm not at him for it but watching this video made me see part of the reason he left u constantly see him with his hand in the air callin for the ball kd knows it's time for a change and so does wb they both need there own teams kd needs the ball in his hand to be effective and sure draymond and curry are gonna get there touches but kd is the best player on that team now and everybody knows next to his mvp season This will be kd best year yet
