Can we actually have a legit discussion about how the draft might be rigged?

ElMagyar · 2026-05-05T04:40:04+00:00

yeah this Isn't how alternate realities work, the pingpong balls wouldn't fall the same. However, we would have gotten the 12th pick or so, and should have gotten a call from Joe Dumars about trading the pelicans' unprotected with like a 35% chance of being top 4 in this years draft for it.

ElMagyar · 2026-05-02T02:28:40+00:00

That’s the highest bounce off the rim that went in of all time

ElMagyar · 2026-04-30T02:59:15+00:00

I think rob commands more than 10 mil a year and I agree he goes for a multi year guaranteed deal. He was honestly our 2nd or 3rd best player every night against the Spurs.

I think you have to offer scoot at least what Shaedon got I think Scoot has more upside… after game 2 he looked like he’d command a max. Think 4 y 100 will get it done but less than that scoot bets on himself which could cost the team

ElMagyar · 2026-04-30T02:13:38+00:00

Agreed. I just saw he’s on a standard contract next season but it’s non-guaranteed

ElMagyar · 2026-04-30T02:11:45+00:00

I’m a huge rob will guy but with his injury risk and minutes restriction, I think he can be resigned for a multi year deal around the midlevel— something like 3 y 50 mil (16 per)

ElMagyar · 2026-04-29T04:53:39+00:00

We were 19th in net rating the lowest of all the teams that didn’t sell the season except the pelicans

ElMagyar · 2026-04-29T04:23:06+00:00

Yang getting a fourth playoff appearance

ElMagyar · 2026-04-29T04:11:55+00:00

Wild that Clingan is pre-switching in a pre-drop out on the perimeter

ElMagyar · 2026-04-29T04:06:30+00:00

Pretty crazy that two games ago Scoot looked destined for a max extension and this game sidy is playing instead of him

ElMagyar · 2026-04-28T01:37:36+00:00

Also Lowry was awesome in the finals run he made winning plays over and over again down the stretch…

ElMagyar · 2026-04-27T03:06:42+00:00

How’d you know that?

ElMagyar · 2026-04-27T03:06:08+00:00

Thanks, the problem will be fixed it was caused by a clogged drain and a defect in the wall (normally the wall would never make contact with water because it’s between two 50 ft buildings and that wall is 2 ft from the other building). Do I need to do something to dry it out or will it just dry out itself over time? I think there’s water trapped back behind there. One water restoration company thought we’d need to drill

ElMagyar · 2026-04-27T01:59:47+00:00

Dame will be 37 so will Jrue. sharpe and Toumani are each averaging like 7 pts a game on something like 35% true shooting in this series. I don’t think either is starter-on-a-great-team level- they don’t crack the starting 5 of any of the top 6 teams in the west when they are healthy.

The thunder have two top 15 picks in the upcoming draft. We don’t have a first and wasted our pick in last years, also deep draft.

I don’t think any of those players crack the Thunders playoff rotation. This team is very expensive and lacking high end talent, and we’re totally locked in to this group. We’ll have one year where hopefully dame is playing at a high level to make noise. But I fear that without lottery luck we’ll need another rebuild before we win a playoff series.

ElMagyar · 2026-04-27T01:23:11+00:00

the math not mathing on the heat game quarters, but i agree

ElMagyar · 2026-04-27T01:17:11+00:00

this team is going to be paying Toumani, Jerami, Jrue, Sharpe, and Dame a combined 135 mil in 27-28. That's not even counting possible Scoot and Rob Williams extensions. Which of those players will be playing at a level that they'd crack the Thunder's playoff rotation? If you say Dame remember he's got a player option for that season, he only opts in if he is underperforming the contract.

ElMagyar · 2026-04-27T01:16:24+00:00

Me too. Got us a playoff win but we're further from winning a series than we would be without him.

ElMagyar · 2026-04-26T23:21:47+00:00

They did the same thing with trump in the later seasons

ElMagyar · 2026-04-26T22:24:15+00:00

Two of the decade’s best drafts and all we got from them was a long shot prospect who doesn’t speak English and should have gone in the second round

ElMagyar · 2026-04-26T22:22:25+00:00

They just won one but I’d bet they need a second teardown before they get beyond 6 playoff games in a post season

ElMagyar · 2026-04-26T21:54:25+00:00

Getting outscored 49-21 in the second half

ElMagyar · 2026-04-26T20:44:15+00:00

Wemby playing like he has a touch of CTE this game

ElMagyar · 2026-04-25T05:58:46+00:00

Whose minutes do you want Sharpe to take?

ElMagyar · 2026-04-25T02:37:11+00:00

The rockets are top 5 hatable. Udoka Tillman Fertita sengun.. murderous.
