I predict KD, Westbrook, Ibaka, Perkins, and Sefalosha because Brooks has no imagination.
Kinda figure this.

Comparing the 2012 Thunder vs the 2012 Spurs to today's teams...........we don't have Hardin......they have Greene and Splitter. Other than that, is there much difference?
You forgot about coaching and they have continued to improve on their team dynamic.

...and 2 more years playing as a group. 2 more years of running a real offense and defense. A trip to the NBA finals last year, and they were the team that should have been the Champs....
They have grown. We haven't. We've just shuffled people around, got rid of a few, and still do the same thing.
I like Perkins but I flat out don't understand the Perkins love fest. I understand that he adds a certain presence to the roster but I think we could do better. Since I skipped my workout today I have a little bit (ok, quite a bit) of time to dig a little further into the stats within the link I had found the other day.

Perkins has the lowest Player efficiency rating out of the leagues 62 active centers. And according to those stats he has the lowest "Valued Added", "Estimated Wins Added", and 4rth worst in "True Shooting %". His "value added" and "estimated wins added" are so bad that they are actually negative (meaning he detracts). He also leads the league with the worst turnover ratio.
I believe Okie4570 got his salary numbers from www.spotrac.com so I used that site as well. Despite Perkins' dubious stat line, he has a higher salary than 9 out of the top 20 rated centers in the Player Efficiency stat. Specifically he earned more than the #1, #4, #11, #12, #13, #17, #18, #19, and the #20 ranked centers in the PER stat.
Adams has been are best pick up since getting Harden in 2009, besides that we've done nothing but swap the bench around for the most part. The front office needs to start seeking help for RW and KD pretty ferociously before this opportunity is gone.
