Any reactions to this one? It's been a crazy offseason in the NBA, and I'm even more interested to see how OKC looks this year. Sam Presti managed to turn Oladipo (with a horrible contract), Sabonis, Kanter (with a bad contract), McDermott, and a second rounder into Paul George and Melo. Crazy work; it not only gives them more talent this year, but more cap flexibility going forward regardless of Russ's decision next summer.
I don't think this puts them even close to Golden State, but I think it'd take LeBron with (at least) two other top twenty players to beat the Dubs. Either way, I'm interested to see how Donovan uses Melo. If he's willing to play more of a spot-up role in the offense, they could be a really fun team, and could give GS more headaches than anyone else in the West did last year.
Any thoughts on the latest All-Star switching teams in 2017?
