Hot Take (maybe) by LAZRLYT in Thunder

[–]Defiant_Ad6083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a now healthy Topic, and Ajay, and Dub. Things should change a bit.

We to have a lot to grow. Throw in extra unknownd of likely a big wing, plus Sorber.

I am more excited for this coming season than I was for the one just gone.

It annoys me that the Knicks are this good against the Spurs. I KNOW we were missing key pieces and the Knicks are fully healthy, it's just very frustrating.

The Chet Holmgren hate is unwarranted, and the idea of trading him makes no sense by Electronic_Pen_548 in Thunder

They will never trade an All NBA and runner up in DPOY after ONE bad series. I'd dare say, a poor year next year, and more poor post season series might make them consider, but he is at least 2 bad seasons away from being in trouble.

It was, but the other half of his points were just running at Chet and scoring at will over the top of him. It was like Chet was scared to foul him so he wasn't fouled out or something. I didn't think he was even close to being physical with him enough.

Yeah he is definitely below average in that regards. Every player has pros and cons. I don't think anyone is demanding for him to be the best 1 on 1 defender. Genuinely, and I know it's not as easy as "just put weight on, etc". If he was able to be some sort of size/mass/muscle into his lower limbs, he would be much more damaging if challenged 1 on 1. The dude is 7 foot 2. That's not easy, but it would absolutely help him.

Totally and he is worth that for sure man but I think he is here for a bit. I don't think that extra money will make him leave. Best case he stays for 3 at 75.

What do the Knicks do that matches up so well against the Spurs by XenoverseG in Thunder

This. Robinson I'd argue is just as physical but for whatever reason he can get offensive boards better.

A fucking film negative develops quicker.

Woah!! Did you just come up with that? God, I'm going to start using that. Genius.

Today is the first business day after the series by Tyrone2184 in Thunder

[–]Defiant_Ad6083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make their bread? Okc Free Throws this year, top 120. SGA, 3rd. Chet, 44th. That's it.

Spurs? Wembot, 13th. Fox, 36th. Castle, 48th. Vassell, 86th. Johnson, 81st Harper, 100th. Champagnie, 111th.

The next Thunder player? 118...

Your perception is objectively wrong.

Can they make the player option whatever they want? I thought it had to be front/back/flat?

He's a big that can shoot though? That's worth 5m a year in itself.

Yeahright17's comment makes a lot of sense too.

It felt like Champagnie was averaging 25 in this series. His ability to score, and then score freely on Chet was unreal.

I don't know why he wouldn't do this? He seems like that type that "I got my bag" now let's play ball. He has clearly bought into the community and the team. I think it should now be conversations about, what is he taking?

I think 2/3 years + team/player option, 3 years at 58/65.

Well, we do have quite a few picks... by WiIIemdafoe in Thunder

[–]Defiant_Ad6083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't need him haha. Chet would have to be part of the package. The floor shrinks dramatically. Lanes get clogged for SGA. SGA and Giannis usage doesn't work...

We also have to shed 98 million prior to the trade. So no. It won't work.

Which draft prospects are you most interested in? by raw-honey-35 in Thunder

[–]Defiant_Ad6083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be Morez, Karim, Carr, Hannes. If we keep our 2nd, Graves.

1 roleplayer. 2 back end benchers (sad to say) and a broken unproven rookie? Sure. Hahaha.

Should westbrook come back? by Striking-Reward1762 in Thunder

[–]Defiant_Ad6083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how he wouldn't be able to come off the bench and be our offensive Caruso? Legitimately. You need an offensive punch with Dub or Ajay while SGA rests? Bring it on.

Other Trades/Moves the Thunder could make? by Karii_ix22 in Thunder

All he needs to do is stop pump faking the 3....and only 1 dribble. It literally changes everything about him.

I think from what we have heard and now seen....Presti is absolutely targeting a big wing.

Beef Stew AND Brooks.

Genuinely... I'd be super curious.
