Series Thread: WCF: 1) OKC Thunder vs 2) San Antonio Spurs

[shopson67]

Mobley and, sure, I have a bias.....though saw some Thunder fans after the loss wanting to move Chet in a deal for Mobley and to break up the team. Guessing any team with Mobley now and chance to max him out would do so.

I think I would agree with Mobley, as he's more of a player type that I'm used to more than anything. Chet's awkward build is tough for me to project, and I know that's not his fault of course.

An interesting comparison as both are at a salary level that is more for upside than current production IMO at a similar age and position.

I do think the Spurs are going to be the dynasty

But way too early to say that.

OKC very nearly pulled this off without 2 of their top 4 players.

Fair...also might not have been started if Indiana had their best player in Game 7.

Tough to project any dynasty with the current state of the NBA. It's been quite a stretch without a repeat winner. Wemby is a force, but I don't know that projecting healthy longevity for that frame is a safe bet.

a good comparison....To be fair to Mobley can make a strong case he was our most consistent player in ECF and even entire playoff run. And still only 24.

Definitely Mobley.

Question is what would OKC have to add to Chet to make this swap?

 

[thunderc]

Definitely Mobley.

It couldn’t be much due to salaries. Won’t matter Presti is not a guy that is going to sell low.

 

[dtgold88]

I got it wrong like literally EVERYONE ELSE lol

Guessing I'm not the only one who said I'd take the field over OKC.

But, sure, if I had to pick one team early would have been OKC.

Eh.

Kind of buying low on Mobley too though.

Fair offer in my mind would be Chet + the 12 and another first

And other filler if needed.

Will be interesting to see who is favored next season

Presti was rumored to have worked very hard trying to position to take Mobley so we know he likes him. The only reason it might happen is if the Cavs just want to shake things up because I do not see the Thunder paying that price.

 

[dtgold88]

Definitely Mobley.

Question is what would OKC have to add to Chet to make this swap?

Granted just some made up rumor but think I saw something like Chet, Mitchell, 12 pick and maybe another pick. Not sure either team does that.

 

[dtgold88]

Sup, My Guy!

What ya'll gonna give us for Kawhi?

Can we go back in time and give you Garland for him instead of Harden?

 

[dtgold88]

Initially, no.

But, I'm good with it now.

I like Garland.

Just not at that price point.

Granted don't want to pair him with a small SG but think you'll like him even more if he can get and stay healthy......and despite what many seem to think not some crazy notion that he will.

 

[dtgold88]

while he might not be wrong Chet is a better player than Perk could ever hope to be.

 

[dtgold88]

Hey guys I saw this funny meme anyone want to see it

as long as SGA not involved, likely most will.

 

[dtgold88]

What I said needs no explanation, my words generally speak for themselves.

yep....massive homer.

 

[dtgold88]

Every sport has its own terminology. And that terminology changes over time when more specific words can better explain what they are trying to say.

or they want a term that they think sounds cooler or simply get tired of saying the same thing over and over.

People are really over reacting to chet imo. Wemby is just a guy that plays the game exactly like chet, only hes 4 inches taller. Chet is still a all star in the other 75 games or so.

Chet wasn’t nearly that consistent this year but he had his moments. Life is how you react to things, let’s see what happens.

Do you have some trees that don't need planting?
