That's a massive deal. Good for Westbrook and OKC.

On KD’s birthday no less

41 million per year will get almost anyone to stay in OKC.

Not that I think OKC is a bad place. Its a nice place to raise a family. Wonder what Russ really thinks about living in OKC.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Great deal for both sides.

Wouldn't be surprised if OKC hangs onto George as well. Words are words, but it seems like PG doesn't mind staying in OKC long term if everyone else is committed.

This likely goes a long way in assuring OKC as a contender.

Always great to see a smaller-market team keep their franchise player.

You can bet your ass that KD's sensitive ass will try something corny on November 12th to try to "avenge" this day.

I'm pumped... had some scares last summer when it was rumored Russ might want out and instead he went on to have one of the best seasons in NBA history... then Presti rewarded him with bringing two other stars.

Pretty crazy how in 3 months the "biggest contract in NBA history" went from Mike Conley to Steph Curry to James Harden and now to Russ.

Still holding out that one day KD will return

Ehhh, he was just the finals mvp. That should be enough.

Nothing is enough for KD until he gets the last word. He is the pettiest of them all even when he's on cloud 9.
