The Big Domino

Durant to the Warriors! I honestly did not see that coming, I really thought KD would hold everyone hostage and then return back home where Russell Westbrook is ready to explode. Okay, the Warriors will undoubtedly let go of Harrison Barnes (he's been replaced), Festus Ezeli (easy come, easy go) and probably Mareese Speights (a fungible commodity) after already letting James McAdoo and Ian Clark move on. The Warriors will be filling out their roster with Summer Leaguers and old timey vets looking for a ring (Paul Pierce, come on down!). The Thunder were my pre-pre-pre-season pick to win it all next year, thought they should've won it this year but now they've taken a huge step back while their main foe has taken a huge step forward.

As for OKC, the door has opened for chasing Pau Gasol or David West. They have money to spend (especially since I suspect they'll let Dion Waiters and Anthony Morrow walk, too) and I'd suggest going after Domantis Motiejunas, KJ McDaniels, and Seth Curry. They should also take a run at Mo Harkless.

Westbrook is gonna have an MVP season, Kanter and Adams keeping it locked down low, Ilyasova, Roberson, Collison and Singler eating up minutes, Oladipo off the bench, McGary, Sabonis and Payne as the hungry youngsters. Add in West, Moteijunas, McDaniels and Curry and you've got a decent squad built around Westbrook. Hard to imagine that team beating the Warriors but Westbrook will be on another level next year so maybe if the ball bounces right, the Thunder are still in the mix.

Or do they trade Westbrook to the Celtics for the Nets #1 pick, Avery Bradley and some array of RJ Hunter/James Young/2017 Clippers 1st rounder? Could happen.
