Oklahoma City Thunder
PG – Russell Westbrook – 93
SG – Andre Roberson – 76
SF – Paul George – 89
PF – Jerami Grant – 75
C – Stephen Adams – 84
So Paul George was going to take the money and run, eh? He was going to the Lakers as sure as Earl Watson is the worst head coach in franchise history?
And then he got a max from OKC – as everyone expected – and now Russell Westbrook has the sidekick he was missing post Kevin Durant.
At the Lakers aren’t a superteam – yet.
The Suns are going to have a helluva time with the Thunder this coming season, but I still believe they are beatable.
For starters, they are beatable on NBA2K and Phoenix has played them though the last few years, including a 14-point victory over the Thunder in January.
Both Westbrook and George are better than all five Suns starters and while Adams has a lesser score than Booker, he has a better score than Ayton. Josh Jackson and Trevor Ariza have better ratings than Roberson and Grant, but with how strong the big-three in OKC are, they still outmatch PHX.
Total Rating Score: 417 Average starter rating: 83.4
