That deal would not be made, not now. You did good picking the only guy that could even be considered though.

Time for a good question. If you had SGA is there anyone in the league you would trade him for?

Not if I had him on the Thunder’s roster.

If I had him on the Wizards?

Yeah.

I would trade him for a guy like Wemby, Flagg etc.

A young potential superstar with many years of team control remaining.

Makes sense. All things considered he’s just the guy for the Thunder. Mainly because he is at superstar level right now and ready to go. But as far as fitting into the Thunder organization too I just can’t imagine anyone better. Just had his first kid and by all accounts is always going to be the guy that just always represents himself and the organization well. Finding the humility he has with the talent he has is so refreshing in the world we live in. In the end that stuff is a bonus though, he is a superstar.

Yes.

You have a core that seems to really like playing together and has a chance to win multiple championships.

Any significant change could disrupt the chemistry and make the team worse.

Not worth the risk.

We will see if the money goes to anyone’s head but right now everyone is really comfortable in their role. It sounds like they spend a lot of time together off the court as a team and that is just not normal i don’t think.

I think it used to be more normal. But I agree it isn’t anymore.

They are a college team in a lot of ways, before NIL. Matches the game crowd.

Excitement should really be building for this one. I’m playing poker so some people need to focus really hard.

Hopefully, no hiccups on tHoop for the game.

Missed most of it since I was busy last night and early this AM.

Looked like it was longer than usual.....it's happened 2 or 3 times this year if I remember right.

Usually, for a short time but it looks like it was for 10 or so hours. Based on the time gap in commentson several threads I looked at.....

The wolves can hang with OKC when we are hitting our threes. We aren't better, but we can at least hang with em.
