#83: Westbrook Aboard
Has Westbrook earned a max contract extension?
Brent and Blayne break down the 5-year contract extension signed by Russell Westbrook on January 19th. Was it a good deal for the Thunder and for Russell? What does it mean for James Harden and Serge Ibaka? Finally, we ask the question whether it is better for the Thunder to think of themselves as the best team or keep the mindset of an underdog.
good job on the podcast has MIchael attend a thunder game yet
Hi, Tyler. This is Michael. Yes, I have been to two Thunder games this year: New Year’s Eve against the Suns and the Portland game.
Guys, I think you were too easy on RW. He has shown streaks of inspired play before but always returns to his reckless drives and aimless play calling. He would have to go an entire season before I celebrate this signing.
And now on to the second topic. I think it’s best for the Thunder to view themselves as winners and envision the banner hanging in the ‘Peake (love it Brent!); however, it’s better if their opponents think of the Thunder as underdogs. The Thunder need to start every game with the confidence of a winning team, but so do their opponents. That way, we can surprise them. It wouldn’t be a surprise to us, but it would be to most of the analysts who keep slighting the Thunder. I’m looking at you, Sir Charles!
Westbrook deserves this contract love now for years to come we have a awesome dynamic duo
