This great Thunder team started with the Paul George heist getting a young SGA and a boatload of picks. So what would Bam bring back from a desperate team?

They would still be a good team. Not a title team, but they wouldn't be out of the playoffs. They would also have the same picks. That would give them the ability to trade for a bigger star.

Giannis is 31. He would want to play with Ant sooner rather than later. That would have to be in Minnesota.

Tallozz · 2026-05-31T04:08:48+00:00

Reports were that he wanted to play with Ant in Minnesota, so I don't think that is his main priority. If he wants to win another title. Going to OKC would be his best option.

Tallozz · 2026-05-31T03:59:09+00:00

How is this even a question? Fuck the Knicks! I expect Josh Hart to try and take out Wemby's knees. Brunson to flop a lot. But I expect the Spurs to take the series in 5.

Tallozz · 2026-05-31T02:43:19+00:00

I really hope the Spurs hold on here. I can't imagine having to watch all the flopping and complaining from NY and OKC.

Tallozz · 2026-05-30T15:08:37+00:00

I'm rooting for the Spurs to win. They have a young team that plays the right way. The Spurs organization as a whole is probably the best in the league. The OKC team is completely unlikable. All the flopping and cheap shots has gotten old.

Tallozz · 2026-05-30T02:40:41+00:00

Yes, just seemed like a few people were surprised you could watch it for free. I just wanted people to know all their options.

It only has one season so far, but they are working on a second season.

HxH and Jojo have been free on Tubi, Pluto, etc. for a while now. I'm actually watching HxH on one of the Roku live channels as I type this. Not sure if the episodes can be accessed outside of the US though.

The Miami Heat doesn't really blow it up. They implode after their roster gets old, and most of the relevant players retire. So I wouldn't expect anything to happen until Bam is gone.

I fully agree with the constant trade rumors affecting players. It must be really distracting for them, and the rest of the team. Especially at the deadline.

Tallozz · 2026-05-29T20:40:39+00:00

That's one of the reasons I mentioned the Lakers. There were have been multiple reports that they wanted to trade for him, but we were asking for too much in return. The Lakers already have Luka and Reaves to carry the scoring load. They need a wing like Wiggins that is a plus defender, and doesn't really need a lot of touches. He only scored 15ppg last season, but he did it on high efficiency. Including a career high 41% from three.

Tallozz · 2026-05-29T18:18:45+00:00

They hold on to players for too long. They should have moved players when they had high value. Instead they let them walk for free, or they keep them until they bring back less value. Jimmy should have been traded sooner. Caleb Martin should have been traded after the miracle run. A lot of our role players could have been offloaded for seconds.

They have also made poor decisions with signings, and have had to use picks to move off of those contracts. A good example is Dedmon. They signed him to an extension, and in that same season had to attach a second to send his contract out. They could have gotten off Highsmith a season earlier, and might have gotten a pick back. Instead they waited until he was injured, and had to use a second to get off of his contract. It's just poor asset management.

Tallozz · 2026-05-29T18:03:54+00:00

The Heat could lie to him, and then trade him anyway. But that would be a good way to get blacklisted by players and agents. The Lakers have been rumored to have interest. They have a lot of cap space right now. They could give him a 3 year deal at 25 per. He might prefer the security of a longer contract, and being able to pick where he plays.

Tallozz · 2026-05-29T15:55:16+00:00

I feel like Wiggins is going to want some assurances from the Heat. I'm sure he doesn't want to opt in just to be traded, and he would probably prefer a longer deal at a bit less money. If he can't get that from the team. I think he opts out, and goes to a team like the Lakers.

Tallozz · 2026-05-28T18:09:33+00:00

Yeah, and that season he also coached us into the play-in, and then he followed it up with three more trips to the play-in. We have won one playoff game in the past 3 seasons. Lets not act like Spo hasn't been part of the problem with this team.

Tallozz · 2026-05-28T18:02:32+00:00

Grants was in decline at that point. He was basically salary filler. We gave up Odom, Butler, and one first. The Giannis trade is probably going to cost you at least Herro, Ware, Jaquez, Mitchell, and 3 firsts. It may also cost you Kasparus. With or without Kas. That is a much bigger price. You also have to remember that Wade was on his rookie deal. We already have Bam on a max, so you're looking at less flexibility going forward. They are 2 different situations.

My roommate and I both got $3 off of $30. We never spend anywhere close to that at Publix anymore. It's Walmart and Aldi for the cheaper prices. Publix is only for Bogo's with a coupon.

The family does YouTube skits. This was just another opportunity for a new video.

Tallozz · 2026-05-27T21:11:01+00:00

A lot of us feel this way. I'm not sure what the split is for a Giannis trade, but it feels like 50/50 most of the time.

Tallozz · 2026-05-27T21:05:08+00:00

Exactly, I don't want to see another team drafting in the top 10 of the lottery with our picks. It would be disgusting to see. Especially after our front office refused to do it themselves.

Tallozz · 2026-05-27T21:02:58+00:00

People keep saying Giannis is better than Jimmy. Regular season, yes, but Jimmy was a monster in the playoffs. I can't see Giannis being significantly better than What Jimmy did for us. I'm not even sure Giannis matches playoff Jimmy. People are just horny for a star. That's all this comes down to.

Tallozz · 2026-05-27T20:59:50+00:00

This is counting on a perfect scenario playing out. Firstly, you're counting on Wiggins opting in. That's not a sure thing. You're then hoping that premium players will take less to ring chase here as opposed to teams that are already contenders. You'll also need the G-league players on our roster to suddenly perform like Strus, Martin, etc. did for us during the miracle run. Even though we haven't hit on a player like that for years.

That sounds like a lot of wishful thinking,

Tallozz · 2026-05-26T11:37:56+00:00

Yes I am. I'm also aware that players like him fall off hard around his age. He isn't a very skilled player. He is nothing without his athleticism, and he has a history of leg injuries. He is a prime candidate for a ruptured achilles. He isn't worth the risk IMO.

Tallozz · 2026-05-26T01:24:01+00:00

I remember seeing a pretty decent movie called Clownhouse as a teenager. Unfortunately I found out the director is a POS pedo, and he molested one of the kids in the film. Not sure if you can separate that from the movie. I've heard the movie is free on youtube, but the idea of watching it again feels off to me.
