They about to have so much cap space next year if they stay the course! I really hope they stand pat and make the playoffs. If everyone’s healthy they have a chance ????♂️ not a great one but James is like Brady. If you have him you know you can win in the playoffs. Just comes down to health.
Next year tho ????????????
Who wants to come play with James and AD………???????????????????????????? oh and get paid ????????????????

Westbrook is balling. He needs to play on the ball. That’s why he is playing better. Playing the point.
