    Ok, what OKC has to do is get e better starting lineup, and then pull Lebron 2010. OKC hasn't much stars to spend it's salary cap on. Another option would be to get someone to help out Durant, maybe pull some string to get OJ Mayo or Marc Gasol from Memphis. These options are more practical, than lebron.

    In the end though, it would take them approximately another 10-12 years before they can even compete at the level Denver or Atlanta is playing at the moment.

    it is continually secure to circulate with the Spurs, for they have shown themselves 4 circumstances in decrease than six years. additionally, Popovich does not prefer to alter up his roster like maximum professional communities. He is familiar with what works, so there is not any guessing video games required. on the different hand, Dallas has a sturdy team, yet they are interior the rebuilding section. additionally, it is not likely that they are going to be a powerhouse in terms of the precise interior the west. sure, they're going to win a super type of universal season video games, yet that's approximately it. Phoenix is a different capability abode because of Nash. Nash is funds interior the economic company. His basically weak spot is that he won't be able to hold the team like Michael Jordon. I, subsequently, %. San Antonio as extensive type one and Phoenix as being extensive type 2 while its all suggested and executed .

    Maybe in 2011 and up. OKC has to have at least 1 or 2 All-Star players to make it in the West. Every team in the West has at least 2 to 3 All-Stars. Durant still has to develop and work on his defense. He can't do it by himself. They have to clear some cap space to sign an All-Star or they're not going nowhere.

    Maybe a long time. If your lucky...5-6 years. Meaning you get top 3 picks each year your in the lottery and then make some blockbuster trades

    I don't think it'll be for a long time. I don't think anyone can see that far ahead because OKC is just so bad. Could be 5 to 10 years or even longer.
