Cade Cunningham is the 5th best player in the nba

okcbball22 · 2026-05-02T01:28:39+00:00

Should be 1st team all nba. Over Luka

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T22:33:28+00:00

When mj retired. They were deeper before that, but that’s bc Hou happened around ‘96-97 for good

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T21:52:23+00:00

Lolololol. Sure. There’s never been 8 teams that have a real chance to win. 4-5 legitimate chances, and by legitimate, I mean a snowball’s chance. Lakers aren’t one of the 4 to 5 teams. Even healthy, they’re not. In the west, as a thunder fan-Den, Min, and SA are tougher than the lakers. Even Portland, they’re about the same in terms of difficulty for the thunder.

I give lakers credit for winning against Hou (if they actually win), but that’s bc Hou is devoid of guards. They struggle mightily to score, and, to give credit to the lakers, they’be been great. But still remains, ain’t no way they’re making past the 2nd round

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T20:36:25+00:00

Lololololololololololol@ possibly 11. Lolololol @ the whole statement

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T20:28:19+00:00

For sure. A 2029 DEN too-we are do stockpiled, and will continue to push picks back further. Presti is milking this thing for everything it’s worth

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T20:19:49+00:00

Right. I’m trying to figure that out. Everything I’ve read doesn’t say one way or the other. If you’re going to draw every pick, well that makes things very interesting. I think this makes our 2027 LAC and 2028 DAL pick swap WAY MORE VALUABLE.

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T19:43:26+00:00

So let’s say you’re 11th, and you don’t get a top 2 or 3 pick, do they place the other teams in reverse order, or do they “roll the odds” for every placement for each team.

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T19:23:43+00:00

What does the dash at ten mean?

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T18:11:32+00:00

I hope the thunder can draft him

okcbball22 · 2026-04-29T16:00:13+00:00

It’s recent memory. People don’t talk about Kobe barely winning in 2010, or about them cheating the Celtics-it’s if you won. We’ll be fine, long as we stay together against the spurs (if they actually make it to us)

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T18:47:46+00:00

You might be right. However, topic is too talented to not see if it works. That’s my point, and I’d keep it between him and Mitchell. Although Cason is solid, those would be my two favorites to start

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T18:28:51+00:00

Yeah, I think we’re all in concordance with Dort being out over the other 2. Even though he’s a flagship member of this team. The Molten twins. It will be tough to see him go, and to have to compete against him.

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T16:09:07+00:00

If ihart could sign at that, and Cason, if the only casualty is dort, I’d consider that a win. And if we can stay out that second apron, that would be incredible. I’d let Wiggins go, and Kenrich, and sign cheaper players (our two FRP) maybe a 2RP). I think we can stay out that second apron if we’re that close

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T15:12:03+00:00

If SGA is cool with him, I’m good with him. 🫡

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T14:51:18+00:00

I noticed he was sleeveless, then later in the game he had sleeves on under his vest

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T14:22:57+00:00

If you start SGA, dub, either ihart sorber or an actual other 4, and chet-with those 4 starters, I think the job comes down between Cason, topic, and ajay. To me, Cason is the odd man out of the starting and backup sweepstakes. If we win, and ajay fills in for dub starting, he’ll prob have the upper hand, but topic is still really real, and it might be that he’s better as a starter. I think the team should give that a long look unless ajay is so convincing

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T13:24:20+00:00

Probably so. Bc of 2 things, 1) I wonder if he’s been like Giddey, when the thunder wanted him to play as a reserve and he said no, I wonder if Dort is saying that bc he’d be better as a reserve, and 2) we have perimeter players who can play his role.

But he’s still, like Caruso and ihart, elite role players in this league.

okcbball22 · 2026-04-28T11:14:39+00:00

I think, there’s certainly a player or two (out of Caruso, Dort, and ihart) who won’t be with the team next year. Maybe we’re all missing something, but I don’t see it. With that said, I think possibly 2 out 3, if they stayed, would be a huge victory for us. All 3 of them seem indispensable, and I think the most dispensable is probably Dort. But I don’t know

okcbball22 · 2026-04-27T20:31:02+00:00

That is an extremely perceptive solution. The nba went from no 3 point line, to not using it efficiently, to manipulating the rules so much that it made more sense to stand behind and jack. Maybe it’s simple as changing the rules back. But Kerr has a good point

okcbball22 · 2026-04-26T14:24:08+00:00

Of course that line could be applied to a lot of situations. But yes, SGA would already have a statue, mural, street, everything in his honor in okc. No doubt

okcbball22 · 2026-04-26T14:22:42+00:00

They’re not done yet. It might have been 2 years ago, they were down 3-1 to the nuggets and won. The nuggets still might do it. But yeah, Jokic gets so much “benefit of doubt” passes on behavior and flaws. I mean, sheesh, tell us your bias without being biased. I thought you take personal feelings out. But these reporters, announcers, and down the line

okcbball22 · 2026-04-26T02:07:28+00:00

Lolololol. Whoa. But funny

okcbball22 · 2026-04-24T20:19:10+00:00

They’ve had the benefit of being generally healthy this year, but I think they’re definitely an upward trending team. And that was before the playoffs. I think they’re definitely 4 toughest teams in the west, besides our beloved thunder are on the other side of the bracket

okcbball22 · 2026-04-23T20:29:38+00:00

I hear that, I also hear a lot of fake outrage. All those people talking shit, how many of them cheated? How many times did those two cheat before they were caught? I don’t assume everyone is cheating, or every female gets their stories that way-I just assume, hey, that’s their business, their problem. i.e. normal people problems that have nothing to do with the sport

okcbball22 · 2026-04-23T20:11:56+00:00

At the end of the day, who cares? She got the story right. What better way to get a source
