    I'd say there's a 2% chance of that happening because there are a million different factors. Even with the cap going up, with how big the player contracts are going to be, I don't see how you fit 3 max-max guys. None of that will likely matter when the Cavs sign Love

    Probably and after OKC wins the title this year and KD re-signs RW isn't going anywhere.

    Westbrook would not tolerate the loafing that Boogie does. Not with how hard he plays.

    And Boogie and Love would not tolerate the number of shots Westy takes.

    When he plays with top talent he passes the ball plenty. Heck, even when he does shoot a lot he gets guys open shots as well as anyone not named Chris Paul and John Wall.

    He's never shot the ball less than 21% of the possessions and averages 26%.

    You act like Westbrook shooting is a bad thing. Westbrook is really good at basketball if you haven't noticed yet.

    How would Love/Boogie/Westbrook work out when each want to shoot 25% of the time?

    Its is tough to have 3 guys that want to dominate the ball. A better mix would be 2 guys with another guy that doesn't need to be ball dominant to be successful. Which of these 3 don't need the ball in their hands to be a force?

    I'd be fine if players of that caliber shot the ball the majority of the time. Westbrook would dominate with those two PnR options. Look at what he did with Enes Kanter who doesn't come close to those guys abilities.

    That style was up 2-1 over Golden State.

    They add a scoring threat and there is no reason they can't be a great team still.

    I think teams were starting to figure out GS. They had a cakewalk to thefinals and almost lost to Lebron and a bunch of ok players.

    Luckily every NBA team has a top 3 player of all time on their team that will average a triple double for the finals.
