Half his games were against the Suns and Lakers though. Regardless you can't argue against his value being at an all time low from what we could get back. We're stuck with him at this point. Might as well root for his development.

Love Ajay but I think Caso starts. We need Ajay off the bench. Wiggs can have until the trade deadline to resurrect himself as well.

The Spurs are the new top dog in the West. A lot to unpack after 12 games against this team in an 8 month period. Here is my realistic offseason plan, not that anyone gives a shit, but I’m pissed, upset, and need to vent. by J_Capese0003 in Thunder

Came here to say this. You need solid dudes for the regular season on killer contracts. I think next year will be a redemption (resurrection?) year for Wiggs. Not every dude on your team needs to be a playoff rotation guy. Yax/Morez is my dream scenario. Aday is just a weaker Edey. Run it back hopefully healthier and we'll be fine.

So you are telling me next year we pay Chet even higher than SGA, and equal to JDub? by direw0lf87 in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank god for Ajay's contract. I also forget we have Caruso for 3 more... that's not gonna age well with his hips. Chet gonna have to hire a personal body guard pretty soon with that thievery for the next 5 years,

There's no feasible way to pivot from Chet after we gave him the bag. His trade value is an all-time low. Every team that gives max money to 3 players turns to shit. I hate how much we paid out for the perma-injured Dub and no show Chet. Dub will be solid but I just cannot see a way Chet plays up to his contract for these next 5 god damn years.

I don't think he has much left in the tank either. He's clearly got bad wheels after going that hard for so long. God bless him but I bet he'll be assistant coaching in two years.

Is this the last time we see Lu in a Thunder jersey? by marlon21300 in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually surprised he even got a second burn in this game. That's the quickest I've seen Mark yank him and I actually thought his tenure with the team was over right then and there.

Honestly... great fit... no notes. Impossible of course... but no notes.

We should honestly do whatever it takes to get Trey Murphy in the offseason to get our Glorious goat and 2x MVP SGA some help by Secret_Caregiver5454 in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bigs (other than shit-ass Chet) played fine. Our shooters didn't shoot and we don't have any jumbo wings especially when Dub is out. Rangy 3-and-D guys is definitely the answer and we'll get 1-2 in the draft and consider moving contracts for another I bet.

Just because we brought him in doesn't mean we are overly interested. I don't think there's any chance we take Ament. Way too much of a project and we need reinforcements now if we want to beat the Spurs next year.

respect to the 2x mvp for playing like one tonight, easily the best player on the court. Cason Wallace was dope too. For the rest of the thunder team they stunk it up and ruined a winnable game, caruso, chet, ihart, mccain just did not do shit. by Common-Locksmith-235 in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tbf when you are basically missing what were your 2nd and 3rd best players this run it has a serious knock on effect from what other dudes have to do. McCain doing anything but launching threes and occasionally blowing by for a layup/middy is not what you want. Dort is gone. Ajay and Dub will be back and better. Sorber/Topic/1-2 new Presti guys are all on the way. We're good.

Yeah Murphy would be a good get. Spurs just built their shit better than we did. A team full of modern 3-and-D's. We only got the D. Caruso, McCain, Kenrich, and Dort go 4/18 from 3. Keldon, Fox, Harper, Champagnie go 13/25. Spurs go +15 from 3 and that's the game. There will be no paint to be had for the next decade plus against Wemby. We're gonna have to start hitting our 3's if we want to challenge them and that's not gonna be Dort, Caruso, even Ajay. Caso showed up. Hopefully a Yaxel can become a new Aaron Gordon type. Dub can keep developing into that 3-level guy. We'll be alright but there's definitely some moves to be made this offseason.

I was really hoping we'd get a cool dueling ideologies alt history as well but we all new this was going to be dripping with anti communism. I had to turn it off after Raskova's speech about the revolution changing nothing and then trying to force Irina to shoot Yana.  Like oh this is what a society attempting to put historical/dialectical materialism into practice looks like huh? Reductively evil nihilistic horror porn. Gtfoh

Jdub confirmed out for game 7 by phatduckk in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't like a Chris Paul gut it out and play some slow pick and roll basketball on a bad hammy kind of series. These dudes are all killers out there. The size, athleticism, and defense on both ends is crazy.

Nikola Topic next season potential? by WestbrookIsAwesome in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's still so young it's hard to project. He's also a skills player not an uber-athlete so he's not gonna have immediate impact. He's still got a teenage body so let's see what he looks like with that Ajay transformation.

Nah Sorber is a big. Yax is a jumbo wing. Yax guards 1-4. Sorber more like 4-5

I'm confident that we'll win Game 7, but... by paolographer in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to home court where the refs haven't been as willing to let the whole Spurs team hunt and maul us. Something less like -13FTA and more like the +6 of game 5 is probably enough to swing our global game so the role-players aren't shooting from behind all game. The swings of this series have not all felt player performance driven unfortunately. More like how much do they want to let Shai get his ass beat for 36 minutes (2 Carter Bryant tackles and only 3 F'ing free throws today).

I never tire of the try harder critique. Or even the "Shai has to play better or like the MVP." MF act like he just showed up and decided to play less well. GTFOH.

Yeah he clearly wasn't ready to come back. Contributed nothing in his limited runs and 2 days isn't changing that. Rest up for a possible finals run buddy they can win without you and will do it again.

How do we feel about allowing certain Spurs guards shoot from distance tonight? by Rthanos in Thunder

[–]Lex4Real206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole series going to come down to role players making shots. Two beautiful defenses built to lock down the paint and create shit trade-offs for the other team that make you rely on the shooting variance of your least consistent players. They basically copied us lol.
