Everybody else asleep.....myself and this guy right now....LOL

They don’t have the volume of firsts

And topic was a top 10ish guy last year

and I doubt hou pats amen on the table


Hou in a tough spot without their salary floatsam they had last year and really close to the second apron

Can the Thunder make the best offer. Yes, no doubt, no question. Will they? No, no doubt no question. I do think that Topic is a very valuable asset.

I don’t necessarily disagree

But that was my point.

They could if they wanted to

Especially in volume of firsts

I think the aprons have changed Prestis thinking on all the picks. Yes originally the plan had to be make a big deal when the time is right. Now the picks are going to serve keeping some cheaper rookie contracts continuously rolling.

To me the first contract that is going to be really interesting is in 2 years with Cason Wallace. I’d say it is very likely someone is going to make an offer the Thunder will have problems matching. They are going to have to draft to replace Hartenstein as well because keeping him more than 2 more years won’t work, it may just be one more year.

Yes and if Houston wanted to they could offer better players, that is my point.
OKC has the better picks but picks are picks…question marks and you still have to draft well.
Houston has the better players…unless of course they including Jalen. Only way I would see any possibility of that is if he shits the bed this postseason and they say fuck it…I give OKC < 10% of getting in on the Giannis sweepstakes.
I think Houston might have the best odds

Well that is just it

Who is Houston going to offer?

If they deal any of their best young players, they won’t have the pieces they need to contend with Giannis.

I think the most likely trade package is pick centered with some matching salary and maybe a player on a rookie deal with a bit of upside.

Houston has the Phoenix picks which could be excellent. But OKC has so many assets still it is truly remarkable. This is what the 6ers were going to be before Colangelo messed it up.

Well Sengun is their best player. Right now they have young players with potential but nothing is set in stone. I would say Thompson has the most upside and they still have a great pick package to offer. You can only offer so many picks.

Not underrating him but the center of a Giannis trade? Cmon. PG’s and wings are way more valuable or bigs that can shoot and/or defend the perimeter
