As a Thunder fan, relying on PG is not gonna go how you think

[@critcritcrit465]

Not true, when he gets traded u get a nice haul

[@Gunner1302]

They not getting that big a haul when he leaves them. Better win or you'll wish you traded for maybe Lauri

[@mmafights8064]

The difference is PG is the sixers 3rd option. And he can ball in that role

[@11credible]

That’s why we aren’t stupid enough to rely on Paul George. We just need him to be better than Tobias Harris….not that hard. That being said I think the thunder solidified themselves more

[@dylansimmons885]

You think thunder fans are the only ones that witnessed PG in Oklahoma?😂 we saw.

[@trumpies]

As a sixers and chiney fan, it was Thunder.

[@frmjewduhh]

History shows adding a star player like Paul George doesn’t guarantee anything. In fact, superstars struggle to mesh their game with other stars. What the Thunder did is add pieces that fit amazingly into an already cohesive team. The dogs will be barking in the NBA finals next year. THUNDER UP!

[@TysonC-hl3fo]

Its the thunder, if we talking about depth. Philly definitely has the best player in free agency though.

[@crush_4103]

OKC didn’t just bring in Caruso & IHart, they also brought back Joe & Wiggins

[@pemo01]

Lowe is completly right on this one. The Thunder are here! 76ers about to see why Clippers didn't give PG that money...

[@iaskquestions]

it might not turn out the way you think.

[@sob_meen]

Keep thinking that sixers brought in PG, Caleb Martin, Eric Gordon, and Drummond wtf didn't the sixers get better???

[@sob_meen]

not to mention oubre signed back, drafted mccain and bona who already shined in the summer league and as well as Ricky council from last years draft man just dropped 29 like

[@jamarimcbride9325]

He just gotta be better than Tobias Harris and that isn’t hard

[@bhrandomvids]

yea cuz PG replacing Tobias and the sixers signing good role players doesn't matter lmao. yall act like PG needs to single-handedly carry the sixers to a chip as if Maxey and Embiid aren't there

[@jehushaphat]

Josh Giddey is being severely underrated.

[@kenneththompson2221]

Thunder will have a better record than the 76ers next year 🗣️ EASILY 💯

[@FocusFlightProductions]

It’s about bringing in the right pieces, not big pieces. No team that has made superstar trades forming a big 3 that looks good on paper has won a championship, since Warriors. And they won before and after KD, so that doesn’t even really count. The moves OKC made are similar to Celtics did to get over the hump.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

Windy had the "I'm tired of the Paul George tease" and Zach has the "I'm tired of the healthy playoff Embiid tease'. It is a bit tough to bet on them for now.

[@Zrj19]

bringing in a all star along side other stars is not the best method anymore, building a strong rotation around your best players is the way to build a great team, this is why okc had the best offseason

[@romethechampion6224]

Crazy to believe how quickly we forget what the Knicks have done.

[@k_hack9441]

Knicks scored ONE more point in a series with a one legged, paralyzed Embiid, hurt teammates, choking Tobias. And then lost to Indy lol.

[@joshahlstrom2764]

Not retaining Hartenstein is an underrated loss for them, backup center position looks like a big weakness and they haven’t really addressed it.

[@romethechampion6224]

@@k_hack9441 forgot this was also a undersized, undermanned, and less talented team that still smoked they asses

[@bentonrector2641]

They don't mention OKC retaining Isiah trigger finger Joe and the man who saved basketball Arron wiggins

[@honeyybunclub]

Why are they gassing up Paul George😭 we seen him leave teams 4 times already & build this hype just to do nothing. Paul & Embiid together is not something to be happy about😭 they both choke so much

[@evilnoodlz5336]

Isiah Joe is virutally 99% 3-Point Accuracy every time I watch him lmao

[@angelitomacagba5767]

Philly got 2 injured prone All Stars! That’s it! and PG really has not proved anything yet. OKC got alex caruso who is a Champion who actually had an impact. They have addressed their need for Rebounding with Ihart. And they still have assets to make a midseason trade.

[@nm93932]

Zach will prove them wrong

[@porkyonfroy8338]

In terms of who got the best player available yes 76ers clearly won, but if we were to ask who’s ceiling was raised higher due to this off-season I gotta go okc

[@mikielsahagun6054]

That's what I love about the off-season, lots of fun theories and conversations

[@austingadsden13]

These guys just like to talk. If Embiid is healthy in the playoffs, the sixers will get out the second round and probably go to the finals. It's a simple as that. Literally every playoffs he has been hurt, but multiple of those were freak accidents. It's totally acceptable that people think he will be hurt again and they won't advance. It's really possible. But it's also really possible that he will be healthy, and if so, they will win because they have the best player and for the first time, the best team. It's about Embiid's health. Simple as that.

[@stanleynowak9325]

Big three? The Knicks have a big FOUR!

[@johnlittle5267]

Wow, they must be new to the NBA, like brand new. Every time Paul George has moved teams, it is the “biggest” move of the season. Yet, going all the way back to him being drafted into the NBA, all this hype has amounted to absolutely nothing. The biggest move is either OKC or NYC.

[@Slanginthatmonkey]

drummond was there before, like 3 years ago.

[@808bboarder]

OKC Is the best ever

[@mlysupermom]

PG is as inconsistent as the weather !!! Overrated …..indeed !! Thunder are going to be very very good for a long time …. Truth

[@PIBoost]

Caruso and Hartenstein are more impactful than PG, Caleb Martin, Drummond, Eric Gordon, resigning Oubre, etc? Not even close

[@melburnmt7320]

You can untick Drummond & Gordon. And if we're talking re-signings, Wiggins/Joe got re-signed on super team friendly contracts. I hope PG goes well for Philly but ever since his MVP year in OKC, he hasn't played the same.

[@iaskquestions]

curious why the Knicks and Pels new signing presser wasn't featured .. please with respect bring other teams into the fold. NBA Today let's GO! 🏀👊

[@mrhandyhandssr7839]

Can’t believe someone would ask for more knicks coverage!! Lmao. And complaining during a segment that features okc, the smallest town 😂

Andre Drummond wasn't a factor of any kind when he was in his prime, stop acting like he will be now.

[@rustytv3023]

PG13 is one of the worst superstars ever, up there behind Kawhii

Jamal Murray has caught fire in the playoffs for 6-7 game stretches and averaged 30PPG on 50% FG If you can do that in the NBA on the biggest stage, then euro bums in the Olympics should be a cakewalk. Guaranteed minimum gold medal game as long as they feed him the ball.

[@nothembajozi2862]

Euro bums? Tell us what you are then since the professional European players like Giannis, Luka , Nikola, Wembanyama, are euro bums

[@richardSmith-ym5xu]

This summer, consider me an Arab from canada like Jamal Murray. They better hope this Duke kid is a star. Because like I said in the past, euro-america has zero stars since Larry Bird.

[@abuyusufabdulhakim952]

Euro bums have been having the Yanks for breakfast for about 5 years now. So what does that tell us about Yankee bums? 🤔🤣🤣

Have these women lost her mind PG is one of the most garbage can players in the playoffs..no doubt !!!

[@JERWINIVANCORBETA]

Its THE MAVS!!

[@kennethgenarts5928]

A. If Thunder don't win a championship then it's a failure in trade. You can't start Chet and Stein together, u can only play one.

[@slender289]

You can because Hartenstein's full potential or ceiling was capped in New York where he only played a role that thibs gave him but he absolutely ran with that situation. Isaiah came into the league as a lanky stretch big man then bulked up and gained experience as the years had gone by now he's even more talented & skillful because of what he has learned, I bet OKC is going to bring out the best/final form of Hartenstein

[@spencerwarner9268]

Why would you not be able to play both at the same time? The Thunder have already run lineups with Chet at the 4 and JWill at the 5. This is just an improved version of that.

[@Kipmoney_]

I never seen someone hype 2 role players like this for the Thunder like be for real 🤡

[@natureredux1957]

It's not even remotely Close in the EAST. By far the 76ers had the BEST DRAFT and the best non Draft moves of all the Top Teams in the EAST. The 76ers are the TEAM to beat in the EAST.

Dear NBA please fire all reporters who voted Jokic and SGA over Luka for MVP last season as well as Gobert as DPOY over Jrue. Poor basketball competency from these reporters who don't watch games just box score and standings.

[@Donnjuantoni3]

Luka is the MVP of complaining and his defense sucks. SGA and Jokic had great seasons and better team success in the REGULAR season. That matters cus it’s a REGULAR season award. You’re right about Booty Gobert, and some of these journalists though.
