    Damn, didnt know Kanter was a RFA this offseason.

    Dont see him getting 15 a year, but talented bigs are pricy.

    And yeah, it's a shame how the Reggie situation played out.

    But he gets what he wanted now.

    Isn't there a different salary scale for a player who just finished his rookie contract or something along those lines? So Kanter's max deal in this off season will be different from his max deal if he were in the league for say 8 years.

    He can only get 4 years, yearly wise.

    Money wise, i think the most he can get is 70 million.

    Giving Kanter a max deal is the worst idea in a long history of bad ideas.

    Dallas didn't come to play tonight but you can tell that OKC is playing with an unbridled joy that we haven't seen all year. Reggie was toxic in the locker room. It was a huge issue.

    If they can't play because of a backup point guard, they are softer than Charmin.

    Harlan just said OKC is the #1 rebounding team in the NBA.

    But giles and his per 48 stuff know better.

    If you don't think that an issue in the locker room can cause an issue on a team then I question whether you actually played competitive baseball at a high level like you said.

    Durant is not healthy at all. This is not good. If he doesn't get right OKC will lose in the first round.

    Man, Westbrook has just gotten so damn good. Not sure if he is the right fit with KD but there is no questioning in my eyes if he is a top 5 player.

    Eh kind of a stretch no? It's not like OKC is lighting up the scoreboard.

    Maybe Durant played bad tonight because he misses Reggie.

    Good win, worried about KD's health.

    Cant make any run without him near 90ish percent healthy.

    Haha...nice.

    OKC destroyed Dallas without a few members and KD not being able to play while Dallas was at full strength.

    Its not about the points on the board chop. Its about the enthusiasm the team is showing for eachother. That stuff matters in my opinion. Its ok if you guys don't think so. I just disagree.

    I agree with thethe.

    Reggie was somewhat of a team cancer.

    The team played with alot more energy tonight.

    Reggie only cared about himself, not the team, guess we'll see how much he likes it on a worse team, being the guy now.

    I'm still worried about KD, they arent going anywhere if he cant play at his superhuman level.

    Well I'm so glad that the team has been playing like Zombies because Reggie wanted more minutes. But it's not surprising considering how much Russell and Durant are showing how much they need to be coddled.
