I don’t know if it’s just me, but the first link gives me a “use exceeded” message. Maybe Royce linked from a signed-in account or something?

I don’t envy Mayberry’s job this time of year, but geez. That article wasn’t even 200 words and I could barely bring myself to skim it. Wouldn’t it be better to do an in depth article on the moves other teams made, and then end it with how those moves tangentially affect the Thunder? Instead, we get articles with arbitrary letter grades (could anyone else make sense of it? he certainly doesn’t grade on the curve seeing as everyone graded passed) and flippant predictions about playoff games at the Ford Center. Zzzz

Nix :Oh and Mayberry gave RW an A…I’m not sure I’d go that far. He didn’t hit enough open jumpers and had too many TOs.

It's hard not to give him an A. When I was in high school, I took a typing class as a sophomore. My junior year, I signed up for a computer class and on the first day, the teacher gave us a basic typing assignment. I finished it in a couple minutes and turned it in. He looked at me and said, "why did you sign up for this class if you already know how to type?" The end of that story is that the teacher figured out he was teaching the wrong ciriculum. But if he hadn't, I would have aced the class without trying. Westbrook was basically in that situation. He played well enough against the elite in the NBA to be considered a pretty good player. Then, this Summer, he was able to play the same way without the hindrance of athletes anywhere remotely close to him getting in his way. He easily dominated, and by Mayberry's method of grading, he got an A. You (and I) would grade differently. You would look at Westbrook as taking summer league 2103 and expecting him to improve on things he didn't learn last year (like me in the computer class). Mayberry just looked at Westbrook as a kid who proved he could still type.
