Do you think the Oklahoma City Thunder can really reach 60 wins this season? 🤔 Comment below with your thoughts and let's discuss how their offseason moves might impact their performance! Also, which Northwest Division team do you think improved the most? 🔥🏀

[@johnpayne2420]

I can understand letting KCP walk, if you go into that second apron, you are stuck with what you have, which would be a team that lost in the second round and you're also paying a guy that is getting old and reeeealllly tapered off towards the end of the season/playoffs. Maybe I'm coping, but not breaking the bank for the guy that has definitely shown signs of regression while Murray and Gordon are up for extensions makes sense. Hopefully Braun can improve on what he did last season, but by staying out of the 2nd apron there is a little bit of wiggle room if the team is still not working.

[@yosemite_ham6879]

@johnpayne2420 I think KCP's defense has gotten overrated. He's a great shadower and disruptor but he's too small to bother a lot of guys. The really good go to scorers just abuse him. It was glaring at how much better Braun was on Ant than KCP. I can't think of another team that everyone would bury for losing their 5th starter like people are doing the Nuggets. Truth is they tied the franchise record of 57 wins last season with Jamal missing 23 games. Jamal's health isbmore important than replacing KCP's production. They've replaced their 5th starter but they've improved their bench. Nuggets 52.5 is one of the easiest overs on the books right now imo

[@y.e.e6337]

Yeah honestly as long as Nugggets keep the Jokic/Murray/MPJ/Gordon core, they're absolutely fine

[@HCXWinchester]

OKC is sick! They definetely know ball!!!! Jokes aside, they are like the best rebuild ever and its so amazing to watch. People still don't know Jalen Williams is one step away from being top 15-20 player. Alex Caruso and Hartenstein are underrated because they don't arouse people with the fetish of PPG. They will be so good on defense, it will be amazing to watch.

[@tarentinobg]

Isaiah Hartenstein is now with OKC. That's a great add to back up or maybe play aside Holmgren on occasion.

[@HCXWinchester]

They will play 20 mins together.

[@yosemite_ham6879]

Top 3 seeds were all NW this year. I think it will be the exact same again next year. Stacked division.

[@kpaukeaho6180]

Thanks Josh! Don’t let Bolton bully you like that!

[@brzonogipuz1]

Collier was terrible in Vegas SL, he needs serious G league reps before getting NBA rotation minutes. Had 4.5/4.3 assist-to-turnover ratio, shot 9.1% from 3 and had only 2.5 FTAs on 60%

[@user-iz5xp3ge1z]

Hope no major injury to sga and j williams

[@tarentinobg]

OKC looks good. 60 wins? Too soon to say. Still got 2 months before pre-season, and a lot can happen in that short time, but assuming nothing changes and the two J Williams players improve, I'd say yes. Who is gonna stop them in the West, especially with Denver getting worse?

[@tarentinobg]

Love you guys. But I detest FABB. I get the reason for FABB. I just don't like it. I admit my issue is highly irrational and subjective.

[@cliffmangar478]

I totally forgot Moses Brown had that big game 🤣
