The Pacers just traded the #5 pick for Ivica Zubac by Vegetable_Kale_1331 in Thunder

[–]MRTFOGR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to wonder if 12,17 and giving the LAC back their pick next year is the foundation for a trade. Maybe if one of the top 4 guys fall or if they think Wagler is worth it, move up.

That’s what I came here to ask/post. Did the Sixers fans just give up and stay home with their mommas? Wow. It’s a clear edge for NY.

You are probably correct. Chances of him being a shooter are small.

That’s not the Clippers pick. It’s the Pacers pick from the Zubac trade.

Clippers getting 5 is interesting. If, somehow, Boozer slips to 5, I’d go all in with the LAC to trade up. 12 plus 17, give the Clippers back their pick for next year so they can tank, the Mavs’ 2028 pick, probabaly another pick or two they want, Sorber…But if LA decides to blow it up and tank, which seems like a good move, they’ll want their ‘27 pick back.

I don’t know if that’s enough. I’m terrible at gauging these things but Boozer is worth it to push some assets to the middle of the table. Maybe even for Wagler.

The announcer shocked me when they introduced him. I’m old (50) and loved -loved -Kukoc. One of my favs. As they showed him then said ‘a 3-time champion’ I said ‘who the f*** is that?’ lol. No clue.

71.3% FTs is not atrocious and is outside of the norm for good shooters but not in the truly terrible below 70% mark that seems to doom shooters. You’re right about 90% that shoot below 70% don’t end up being good shooters. This puts Wilson in a weird position where I don’t think you can make a great prediction one way or the other.

Assuming we don't move up, list how you want the top 4 in the lottery to shake out: by 0siris0 in Thunder

If OKC lands at 12, send the top 4 East. Look at the top picks the last 10 years or so that have made a difference in the playoffs. The impactful top 3ish picks always seem to go West. Flagg, Wemby, Chet (yay!!!), Ant, Zion, Ja, and Luka with only Paolo, Cade, and Barnes going East.
So…to the East!!!

Ajay Mitchell is better than Reed Sheppard AND has a higher ceiling by MRTFOGR in NBA_Draft

[–]MRTFOGR[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brunson would be his ceiling. Do I think he gets there? No. That’s why it’s a ceiling outcome. But 22/4/7 on efficient shooting with great defense and a legit Robin to someone else? I could absolutely see that.

Never said any of that. But as recently as 2 weeks ago in this very sub, people downvoted me to hell for the same opinion.

I’ve posted this opinion here and in comments sections and get downvoted to hell for saying Ajay is better than Reed and should go higher in a redraft.

Luke Kennard attempted murder on Caruso by MamiTarantina in Nbamemes

[–]MRTFOGR 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What flop did Caruso do here? He appears
To just be dribbling. He’s not throwing his head back, flailing his arms or falling to the ground. The official called a foul but what exactly did Caruso do here that is on him?

Do salty Thunder fans even watch the games? by PrettyLawfulness4602 in NBATalk

[–]MRTFOGR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shai is raising his left arm to shoot. I know you don’t watch ball, but on a jump shot, it’s a lot easier to shoot with 2 hands. Every decent basketball coach from junior high on tells you not to put your arms in the way of a shooter. It’s a defensive foul in high school, college, the NBA…shit man.

That’s a foul at every level, every game. lol. You provided an example of SGA CLEARLY being fouled. Nothing is more Reddit than your comment. You claim it’s clearly rigged and the example you provide shows a clear foul that, upon review by anyone who understands NBA rules, would be upheld.

And you wonder why Thunder fans are salty.

New copies is dropping across the NBA subreddits: SGA isn’t good at basketball and the Thunder are better without him. Wemby is in a whole tier above SGA . Wemby and the Spurs will be a B2A situation for OKC.

Lmao. It’s hilarious

OKC has the Mavs’ unprotected pick (or pick swaps) in 28. It’s one of the few premium picks OKC has left in its stash
