he would ALWAYS come off the bench. You dont care about that shyt but the shyt is the truth. Max for a bench player on this team that would always be there. there is no "figure it out" when its the way things work. He didnt want to here. Could they have traded him later, sure I see that but he was always going to be gone because he didnt want to be here. He was the only guy refusing to take less than max. not even KD and Russ are getting the full max.
All the OKC apologists are gonna say it was the right decision but it was one of the worst trades ever. They didn't get shyt for him and he didn't even want that much more money. Cheap ass franchise and they'll get what they deserve in the long run.
How the fukk did they not take Shabazz at 12?![]()
how do you know they got nothing? because a rookie didnt start for a 60 win team?
then you find a way for him to start.
regardless of what youre saying, they didnt even get shyt back for him
just completely random, off the top of my head. they could have easy sent him to utah for one of their bigs and a pick.
Cuz shabazz sucks he's not as good as the hype
how do you know?
dude, HE WAS NEVER GOING TO START FOR THIS TEAM. THEY SAW AND TREATED HIM AS A 6TH MAN.
why is this hard to get for some of you. They traded him for a stop gap guy who played his role and may bring back, another wing that Presti was high on, and whats now a center that Presti feels comfortable grooming(admittedly, I want some one else:led![]()
how do you know they are horrible when none have played? A rookie not playing for a 60 win team and a vet in front of him is THAT hard to understand bruh?the return of talent was horrible too. stop defending this
Start Harden and who would provide scoring off of the benchdo you dudes think? Did you not just watch them struggle to score anytime KD wasn't on the floor?
I agree it can be called a cheap move, but if you don't understand what the front office was trying to accomplish...then that says more about you than them.
Do you realize you dont have to bench all your starters at the same time :jada:
