He, like Melo has the option of not resigning with anyone and absorbing the risk. He'll take a smaller deal if he leaves OKC but he can force a sign and trade for his rights to move. He can control his way to a contender by walking free and empowering a team to contending status. Yes, a free Durant can come here (we'd have to move some pieces)and play with Melo and KP. A vet Minimum Kobe can join the party too!!!

A lot has to happen before any such fantasy can be pieced together and I by no means suggest this is a rumor or likely.

I'd say 3% chance. Why? Cuz anything is possible.
no doubt stars usually stay put for many reasons and OKC seems to be a pretty good franchise even if the owner is evil.

Its gonna come up as might westbrook as well. Billy Donovan is a very good coach and his move to the pro's adds an interesting twist.
Would they trade Westbrook to LA for Deangelo Russell? Would you trade (forget contracts for a moment) KP for KD? Naturally you get KD (foot and all) a proven commodity vs. KP unknown upside. Im gonna guess will have to trade more than KP, but lets just stay there for concept.

Just a discussion point, not my hope.
