Sheeesh, after the iHart signing ALONE the Thunder should be the favorite to come out of the West. Caruso too? This team is a powder keg of 2-way talent.

if they can stay healthy favourites out of the West for sure

Ihart is a good player being paid like a great player. Overated signing and i like the dude a lot

@palidanek74 3 ай бұрын

stealing a key player for a likely contender is a huge part of that move. Knicks without ihart may lose to boston in 6 instead of possibly winning in whatever games.

Sam or Andrew what did you both think of the Nikola Topic draft selection. Once Cody Williams was off the board, I was shocked they didn’t draft Carter Jr. Do you feel that Okc made the right choice. I understand the Giddey Replacement, but I thought they should have drafted Carter Jr. based on their Style of play.

Regarding the pistons trade, what if they become the 3rd team in the kings ingram trade. Huerter to the pistons, stewert to the pels, Barnes, 2 kings 1sts, and 1 pistons 2nd to pels

Just want to say imo the Warriors are right for keeping Kuminga out of a PG trade and likely keeping out of Lauri trades. He’s over two years younger than Terrence Shannon Jr. and Baylor Scheierman two 1st rd picks this year. Last 38 games in only 29.8mpg he averaged 19.2ppg 55% FG% and 38% from 3 (only .8 makes but still). He also dunks once every 14 minutes for comparison Ant dunks once every 41. Sky is the limit and if in two years he’s better then both PG and Lauri I won’t be surprised

Presti has done his job, much to Schlecht’s chagrin. If the players and Mark can’t get it done, there are no excuses. No more grace period.

I get Andrew’s take on not wanting to add a high usage piece via trade. But OKC went from a 10th seed to a 1st seed. The window is there now. OKC has to go for it now. I think they should trade for Lauri Markannen if they can. He fits seamlessly into what they want to do both offensively and defensively.

@andrecambridge4474 3 ай бұрын

No he doesn't. He doesn't fit the timeline or the cap.

@kevinscott9242 3 ай бұрын

Plus telling JDub or Chet they're now the 4th option is what ruins the good vibes & leads to trade demands.

@15awesomehighfive 3 ай бұрын

The window started last year and they fumbled it by not adding anyone. It was obvious Giddey wasn't a playoff player.

@@andrecambridge4474 how doesn’t he fit the timeline or the cap? He’s like 27 and makes 17 or 18 million. Thats a steal for a player who can shoot, rebound, defend, averaging 24 points a game and 9 rebounds a game.

@@kevinscott9242 What does all that ego matter if you win a championship. Remember when OKc had 3 mvp players on one team at one point with no championship to show for it. This the 2nd chance. OKc has to go for it. They need one more offensive player for when Shai or J dub struggles.
