They really have a stacked team in OKC. PG: SGA (MVP caliber) SG: Dort SF: J-Dub PF: Chet C: I-Hart Bench: Caruso, Cason, Joe, Wiggins, Jaylin. Also having the top 3 prospects in this year's Draft in Topic which is only 18 years old. And will take the season to soak everything in like Chet did.

@@junyupeterng15he is 20 years old. This is his third year and last year he can be a 2way. He’s put on weight, but it’s his confidence that matters. When his confidence is high, he’s a knockdown shooter and could possibly start at the 4 in a year or two. When it’s low, he’s not gonna be getting minutes on a contending roster. He just needs to stay confident, and he could be a starter for the Thunder. With the injury to Sarr, I don’t see him being on the Thunder for much longer. The team just got too good too quick for Ous/Sarr, but Ous could still become someone the Thunder keeps long term.

My favorite part of tis offseason was the fact that we told Wiggins and Joe to wait until we signed Hartenstein before we gave them extensions. Given our first rebuild led to us having to trade James Harden due to a reluctance to be a luxury tax team, knowing that we intentionally went over the cap this offseason is very reassuring.
@andrecambridge4474Ай бұрын
Nothing's official till the sixth and this is pretty straightforward so it doesn't matter much. The real magic will be if we renounce certain cap holds to structure Harts deal

I dont think Lauri is the move, only because of what the Jazz are asking for. I think Lauri benefited a lot from being on a bad team. I would love Lauri, but if it costs Wiggins, Joe, AND multiple picks, then there's no way. Jazz will get a package for him, and they are gonna feel like gods and look like them too when everything is all said and done. The jazz are killing their rebuild...
@huntermcphail7433Ай бұрын
We definitely won’t go for Lauri now that we got Hartenstein. We signed Joe and Wiggins to long deals because we want them as big contributors for the foreseeable future. All the Thunder are missing is a Point that can run the pick and roll of the bench and be a playmaker and hopefully Topic can be that when he is healthy next year.

Trading Giddey for Caruso is a colossal blunder and I really don't get how anybody thinks that's a good trade for the Thunder. You're getting rid of a guy who 2 years ago averaged 17/6/8 in only 21 minutes per game. In Harden's last season he averaged 17/4/4 in 31 minutes. This shows you the potential of what Giddey can do and now we have a guy in Caruso who averages less than 7 points and he's 30. Giddey is only 21 and has tons of time to improve. That being said I like Hartenstein but I would rather have kept Sengun or Lively.
@jackiswack1Ай бұрын
Averages aren’t everything. Giddey cannot shoot and cannot contribute to this team in the playoffs. Caruso will fit way better be a way better shooter and can defend anyone

@@Wrestle_Kingdom. Giddy only averaged those numbers when sga and or jdub didn't play. He was good when he ran the team. But he needed to put those numbers up while the 2 best players were on the court. Chet probably took some of his looks away. But he had to fit in. He just couldn't find it. He'll put those numbers up for the bulls tho. Plus Caruso is a far better defender than Giddy. I believe against the pelicans series and the mavs series they were hunting Giddy.
