4 hours ago?🤔🤔

[@rjpd_2001]

Do you think that the Thunder will have their pick or the Clippers pick? They are really close in the playoff race and play each other again tonight after playing 2 days ago. If OKC win again, and beat the Lakers tomorrow, the Clippers and Thunder will be tied in the standings. The West is super interesting down the stretch.

Ibaka -> Sabonis and Oladipo -> Pg -> the entire future of the okc thunder.

[@AaronTats]

Rob Hennigan (Orlando’s old GM) was absolutely terrible :(

[@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701]

Part of me wishes KD would have signed his 1+1 with okc just to give them that last chance because we legitimately could have seen a russ-PG13-KD-Grant-Adams starting 5.

[@cheyguy18]

I don’t think that ever would have happened. What would have been more likely is a starting 5 of Russ-Oladipo-KD-Grant-Horford since horford was leaning OKC if Durant re-signed. Wish we could have seen that though… remember Sabonis was raw at that point and Horford was a veteran floor spacing big coming off a dominant Atlanta team. A shooting big is something we desperately needed all the years we had Russ and KD

[@therealneal3034]

@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 a lot of those losses were the team just not locking in defensively, those were one or two possession losses for the most part. I think if EG locks in a bit and Mann steps up like he should, they lose maybe 3 or 4, not quite 6.

[@SP.007]

The whole trade tree started back in 2007 with the Suns trading, Kurt Thomas, 2008 and 2010 1st round picks (Serge Ibaka and Quincy Pondexter ) for 2009 2nd round pick (Emir Preldžić)

If youre familiar with Hockey (I doubt it lol) but theres a guy on KZbin called steve Dangle who does trade trees gonig through the big trades in Hockey history going through the draft picks, who they became, and what all the pieces got the team that traded the big player and how the team that traded for the big player fared. Its an awesome way to show the results of big trades and to guage how good or bad they were actually. I think with your level of content, something like that would be awesome. I think youd kill the concept and do it justice.

[@Amm17ar]

@@DeeJaySmoke978 Yeah Im Canadian, so naturally a Hockey guy lol but his trade tree videos (though he hasnt made one in a while) were really really good. It was a simple concept but it REALLY showed how good or bad a trade was. You didnt realize at first glace how a trade got a team the next big player in a draft or a championship like 5-10 years down the line but with that video concept and format it made it interesting to see. Like we all know Brooklyn trading for Pierce and KG got the Celtics Tatum and Brown but it also got them Kyrie Irving. I know thats a simple example but so many pieces in big trades throughout NBA history that resulted in huge pieces down the line. Id love deep dives on trades for KG, Ray Allen, Pau Gasol, Carmelo to Denver, Dallas trade that got them Dirk, the deal that got Chicago Pippen, and so on.

[@beanie3427]

I’m a Nuggets fan, but OKC has turned into my 2nd favorite team just because of how amazing this rebuild has been. I’m so split on what they should do with all these premium picks they have. Part of me wants to see them trade these picks for a superstar to group with SGA, Giddey, Jalen, and Chet to create one of the most insane starting 5s ever. Another part of me wants them to keep all their picks to create one of the deepest and most impressive rosters ever if they can hit on a few more picks. Either way, they have a chance to create a dynasty like the NBA has never seen before.

[@therealneal3034]

This is basically a trade rewind video like the ones you used to do, and I missed those! Keep up the good work, Tucker. Oladipo getting traded to and from the Thunder was the best that could have happened to him because, and he said this in an interview, learning from Russ is what lead him to become an All Star the next season.

[@jumblesgaming]

Paul George really turned the tides of 2 franchises for the better by simply leaving😂

[@rjba02]

Lots of people already know about Serge Ibaka basically becoming Paul George but here's the part that not a lot know: Serge Ibaka was originally drafted with a draft pick that OKC got because of taking on Kurt Thomas's contract. And they wouldn't have that cap room had they not received a trade exception from sending away Rashard Lewis in a sign and trade, who was already about to sign with Orlando anyways. Meaning that OKC got Paul George, who was flipped into their current star, SGA, and their future for years to come, in exchange for a player that they didn't even want on the roster.

[@dennisdunker8764]

Sam Presti is a genius. That Westbrick-CP trade alone should get him in the HoF but then he topped that w the SGA trade. 5D CHESS!!!

[@YodaSmokes]

The SGA trade was first. And you’re missing the biggest factor. Ibaka was traded for all of it. Ibaka was traded for oladipo and sabonis who were traded for pg which turned into all this.

[@theprocessss]

@@YodaSmokes you’re right the Westbrick trade happened after. I didn’t like the PG trade bc I don’t like players playing w Westbrick I knew they were gonna fail. But he for sure made up for it and then some.

[@YodaSmokes]

@@theprocessss however I won’t take the Westbrook slander. Dude is a legendary future HOFer and deservedly so. He normalized the triple double, and during his MVP season put together one of the best seasons ever, both in terms of statistics and clutch time play. He hit more game winning shots that season than I can even remember. Easily my favorite season to look back on, despite the fact we’ve had more successful seasons.

[@theprocessss]

@@YodaSmokes he’s a future HoF no doubt. But when Yao, C Webb and McGrady are there it just means it’s watered down. What has he done since 2016? Cool triple double but doesn’t mean anything. My favorite player to watch tho. But bc I wanted to see what idiotic thing he would do next. That 17 MVP belonged to Harden or Kawhi. 2 rebs does not make up for an 8 game difference and 3 seeds. If Westbrick averaged 9.98 rebs he wouldna got it. It makes no sense. It’s either him, Wade or 2011 D Rose for most overrated player ever.

How are you assuming the Clippers would’ve won in 2020 when Paul George was injured and Kawhi was still on game restrictions at the time of the shutdown? This whole “they didn’t handle the bubble well” it’s the biggest BS excuse cause they were up 3-1 so obviously they handled it well for 3 freaking games. It’s such an insult to the Nuggets and what they were able to accomplished. You can’t be up 3-1 and then use the bubble as an excuse of losing. Makes no sense. Like bro, win one game.

[@JamesMeyer2]

No joke, I didn't even believe that the Paul George Clippers trade was real when I first saw it as breaking news on Twitter. First, it seemed very unlikely that the Thunder would part ways with someone who just finished third in MVP voting. Second, the Thunder were getting a good young player in SGA and all those 1st-round picks. It just seemed like a trade you made only in 2K since those kinds of trades where you trade all your draft picks for one player didn't happen at the time.

The Lakers were clearly better than the Clippers in the '19-20 season. The narrative that many push is that their "bubble" championship doesn't really count, even though they were at the top of the West through 71 regular season games and were clearly the best team in the conference. This constant re-remembering of that season to diminish the Lakers franchise is just ridiculous. Some people desperately wish the Clippers were better that season, but let's keep the record straight.

[@adrianpheiffer9960]

And it's funny because everyone keeps saying that injuries are the only thing holding the Clippers back... so the bubble should have been the perfect scenario for them.. they should've benefited from the bubble more than anybody else considering they have the most injury prone stars.

@@bkelly625 bro every time I comment you have a copypasta of the same shit about splits when it doesn’t factor in the situational scope of basketball. If you want to use advanced stats, don’t only use the ones that strictly apply to make the player you like more look better than the other, which is what you’re doing with shooting. Even so, you’re not using important stats like openness rating (a big aspect on determining shot quality). You also don’t bring up the play style advanced stats that factor in P&R, Isolation, and transition play (very important aspects of offense) probably because it strongly goes against your argument about Jalen Williams being better than Paolo.

Because Haliburton is an amazing player. Trading a player that’s only 23, playing the most valuable position on the guard and is averaging 20/10 on efficient shooting splits is crazy. Sabonis is obviously great but he’s more replaceable than a player like Haliburton.
