If any team can afford to lose their 4th best player it's OKC
Definitely agree he is the 4th best player. He might already be the best passer in the league though.

They are already chock full of young talent and still have a thousand picks, they can replace him easy if he gets booted
Far from easy, plus it takes from the theme of growing from within. We are a long ways from there, we will know a lot more tomorrow. If he takes the floor I’m confident it will go away one way or another.

Not that difficult to get a Giddey level player for a couple firsts. And the 'theme' still continues with the rest of the team

I suspect it will turn out to be no big deal but it's possible it is

Not saying it’s not true, but not one report from what could really be considered a reputable source has came out yet. If it’s true though I would expect the Thunder to keep him away from the arena for a bit at least.
The Athletic completely lied - with the facts in their possession to prove they knowingly reported that lie - to bury Trevor Bauer. So who knows.

You are way underestimating Giddeys ceiling. A 6 ft 9 guy who can run and pass like he can?

Yeah they got a few of those already. And there are others out there. OKC isn't some magical team full of talent that no one else has.

SGA, Chet would be hard to replace. Giddey not so much. They need a veteran or two anyway

Clippers could lose the next 7 games straight...lol

I'm not even exaggerating.
They might be figuring it out a little but yes that's possible

I think you will be proven wrong on some of that.

Let's see:

Yeah they got a few of those already. - that's correct

And there are others out there. - that's correct

OKC isn't some magical team full of talent that no one else has. - that's correct

SGA, Chet would be hard to replace. - that's correct

Giddey not so much. - perhaps I'm wrong here

They need a veteran or two anyway - don't see how this is wrong

I think you could be wrong on the overall talent thing, watch what Jalen Williams turns into. The Thunder are going to have 3 top 15 players in this league 2 years from now. I think a lot of teams would disagree with you on Giddey, at least before this potential mess.

Which is why I said Giddey is expendable/replaceable

Yes I know how you form your opinions of your teams. I ain't saying he's not good, I'm saying he's not special

That’s patently unfair, I’m one of the more level headed people here. I’ll call a spade a spade.

But you have your home bias like the rest of us. We're not really disagreeing much here but you do pump up your guys same as anyone
