While Dame would probably really thrive in OKC and be a great mentor for the younger guys, Portland probably wouldn't budge unless SGA and multiple first rounders would be included, and that is just fucking ridiculous

Na, the whole article was based on this not happening until the trade deadline and that OKC would only give up a ton of picks.

Still not worth it IMO.

OKC is on a good trajectory right now. No need to go there!

They have too many picks already.

It makes sense to take a big swing

The also have SGA and Giddey. There's no need to waste a ton of first rounders on a player who plays a similar position.

If they want to trade, go for a wing or big

Presti doesn’t care about positions, he’s got wings as far as the eye can see. And he won’t have a big that has any chance of clogging things up in any way. Going to be interesting to watch.

Oh so that’s how he is going to play it

 

[The Q]

He’s right

I said it last year

The nets are not going to extract his best play putting him out on the corner

He is a pg

He is one of the best distributors out there when healthy

Problem is he will be distributing to 4 guys with 5 guys guarding them.

the real issue then becomes playing with Claxton or Sharpe

He needs to be playing next to like, turner.

Unless Claxton can really space it vertically.

You also cant' foul ben all game. Physically impossible. You will run out of players.

Yep makes the most sense at pg. Is there another real pg on that roster?

I guess technically dinwidide and they can’t play together imo and especially not with claxton too

Dinwiddie?

 

[The Q]

Dinwiddie?

Let’s just agree to call him close enough

 

[bksballer89]

Dinwiddie?

Forgot about him....that makes it complicated a bit

@fightinfunbags your boys got Oubre

Saw that. In a post Harden world, they’re going to need instant offense off the bench and on non-Embiid load management night, another guy to help Maxey. They parted ways with Shake Milton, so Oubre fills the role of instant bench offense. We will see if he’s good enough.


ND/OSU week, my guy! You getting pumped? Irish early season has been a walk through the park. I’m excited to see where they are. They just landed a highly coveted QB transfer for 2025. Would be great if the Irish can close the deal on Saturday. In Hartman We Trust.
