I was sitting around thinking about it.
The Thunder have a nice nucleus in Westbrook, KD & Green. Would you break that up to add Blake to that group? Defensively, they probably would not be anybetter, and their half court game would certainly suffer a bit, as Jeff is one of the better shooters at the 4 in the league. At the same time, the athleticismon that team would increase, and Durant would have a legitimate 2nd scoring option.
I really like that trio, and I don't want to see that broken up. If Jeff and Kevin could increase their rebounding totals, I don't see the need for aconventional 4. I think they mesh well together, and getting Thabeet would be a better look for them, or even trading for a veteran combo guard (not Ben Gordon
)
I know the motto, that you never pass up All-Star caliber players, but having a bunch of All-Star players doesn't guarantee a championship. Personally, Iwould trade down and try to get some value for the pick, and draft Thabeet or Harden, who would be a good 6th man for this team.
Thoughts?
