It's pretty incredible that OKC once had all three of these guys. The second best SF, the second best PG, and the second best (or even best) SG.
How would you rank them? Especially curious what people think of Westbrook vs Harden. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Which SG would you even consider better than Harden?
You know how it works around here

It depends how you ask the question. If ask it right now just for the moment it is Westbrook, Harden, Durant due to injury etc.
But if you ask overall longer term: Durant, Westbrook, Harden

Wouldn't surprise me if they had multiple championship by now if they kept that team together. What an idiot owner. Now Durant is gone in a year and then Westbrick after that and all those annoying fans can go back to watching their cows as their prime form of entertainment.

Jeff Green too. Perkins really screwed them over.
Should have just went:
Westbrook
Harden
Durant
Green
Ibaka
And hired D'Antoni as coach. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
IMO, the Thunder should have gotten rid of WB instead of Harden. A KD and Beard duo would be one of the most efficient scoring duo's to have ever played together.
As much as I like WB, he is too much of a gunner for my tastes. Would I love to have him, hell yes, but I also understand his flaws. If he had more of a PG mindset, he would be the best PG in the game.
I'll take 26-8-6 and 2 steals with his fire any day. The only downside is his style is dependent on athleticism. He needs a legit big man to go to the next level. Imagine Westbrook and Anthony Davis on the same team.

Calling Westbrook that is just plain stupid. He's the best player in the game right now. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

He's definitely surging ... this last five game run is really impressive on the offensive end, like late 1980s MJ impressive.
I think he's making a strong case that he, not Durant, is the straw that stirs that OKC (molotov) cocktail. Good for him ... broken face or not, 76ers or not, this dude is ballin' like a killer ... his defense was maybe suspect tonight, though, as he appears to have made Canaan look like an All NBA performer, too ...

I think 2013 would've been their year. They won 60-something games with Kevin Martin in place of Harden.

And they were the 2nd best team in 2011-2012 because they didn't peak at the right time....
Durant played his best last year.
Harden and Westbrook this year.

Funny that harden vs Ibaka was even a question back then. OKC gave up what could have been one of the most stacked teams ever for a front court meant originally to combat gasol/Bynum
I mean Ibaka is nice, but a guy like Ed Davis could easily fill his minutes on a team with Durant/Harden/Westbrook.

True, they would've been stacked...
But Harden left because he was unhappy with his minutes not to mention the contract offer they gave him.
If OKC doesn't win a title with Durant and Westbrook, I think that Harden trade will be looked back as the beginning of the end.
