Actually now I have it.........
we'd be dominant. Yes, we lose Shaq, but he is old. So are starting 5 after this. And we get rid of a bunch of crap.

No, only 2007, 2010, and 2011. We need to give Minnesota 2008 and 2009.

Oden will at least make an impact on the defensive end, but will most likely be incredibly foul prone. I see him being somewhere around 11/8.

That could possibly be the most assonine post in the history of this forum. I'll say this now, the first time he plays the Pistons Tayshaun Prince will guard him and hold him to less then 12 points!

Or not. Whatever works for you. Durant will take a massive dump on Prince. Durant is a freak and Prince won't be able to control him.

Why do so many people act as though Durant is the second coming of Jordan? With his narrow build he will have a tough time against physical teams in the NBA not to mention whether or not he'll have troubles adapting to a new offensive scheme.

He's not the second coming of MJ. He's the second coming of KG. They said the exact same stuff you're saying about KG, looks like that turned out well. The guy averaged 25 and 12, I guess that's peanuts right?

COMPLETELY different players. Completely different styles and attitudes. I see no comparison other than the fact that they both have lanky frames.
Oh, and here's another guy that was said to be too lanky for the NBA:

You mean how they're both 6'10 power forwards who can run the point, post up, shoot the ball well,are tall and lanky and have a sick killer instinct? Gee I'm not sure how we got that comparison.

You think Durant is a Power Forward? Have you ever watched him play? Durant's "killer instinct" can not be compared to Garnett. Garnett is one of the most intense players to ever step onto a basketball court.

Why is it you dislike Durant so much? The guy just won NPOY as a freshman, carried a Texas team to a 4 seed that had no business being there besides him thanks to his incompetent coach, is versatile enough to play anywhere on the floor and is just generally filthy?

Durant's pretty much whatever the hell he wants to be. I've watched him play numerous times. He either plays the 3 or 4 usually.

I think Durant is a great player. Like I have said MULTIPLE TIMES, I am simply saying that Oden is more NBA ready.

There is about a 1% chance he'll play PF in the NBA. He's a wing in the NBA.

Exactly, and Wade is more of a SG as well, but he can play PG. And Madsen and Wright are there cuz I needed to make it a little realistic.
