PG shoulda wanted this win toDoc won't play Zubac in the 4th as usual. All we needed was a few rebounds and block-outs from him. Plus PG kinda disappeared in the 2nd half. SGA and CP3 wanted this win so

Like I've been saying you're pouring jelly on yourself if you're not betting on the thunder.
Its the easiest come up if you really watch basketball.


I said it a long time ago the thunder need to move on quickly from Paul, Gallo, and Adams otherwise they will be too competitive to bottom out and end up not picking as night as they should be able to. Every season a team like this overachieves and it doesn’t really do much for them.

Bottom out for what? They can build on this team now. Ain't nobody in the draft taking them to a higher level. They already have a thousand 1st rounders and some really good youth on the team- basically what a tanking team wants and they already have that now and then some without even tanking. This is a small market team.. making the playoffs is good for a city like OKC. An injury or two from another team and you never know what can happen in the post season. They're the #7 seed and climbing. Why ditch all that for a few selections higher for some boogie-man draft pick that might or might not be something. Plus they can maneuver during the draft and package something and still move into the lottery field if they choose to.I said it a long time ago the thunder need to move on quickly from Paul, Gallo, and Adams otherwise they will be too competitive to bottom out and end up not picking as night as they should be able to.

I think the Thunder should go ahead and bottom out now even if it means trading Paul for someone who is out for the season (which is where my JOHN wall idea came from)
trade Paul for wall and let Schroeder/SGA play...Trade Gallo for a pick and something..,trade Adams for expiring and let Noel start at center and just roll with that lineup.

This is a different NBA breh. The draft is now a crap shoot. Zion ain't even playing no time soon and he was handed the keys to everything from the jump. Not wishing anything bad especially for us but what if OKC ends up 5th or 6th seed and some injuries happen to the top 4 come playoff time? They're right there in the mix to make a run or they can dump it all and hope for a savior in the draft and lose out on what's currently happening in the league right now. The Golden States are done, ain't no clear cuts right now. You gonna abort ship right now for a prospect or two in the draft that might or might not help your team.. and if you do strike gold on a good one your team probably won't be good til 3-4 years from now. Pick your poison I guessain’t nobody taking them to the next level...winning bs games isn’t going to do anything either...Getting a top pick in this draft along with the other picks will work out long term..Could mess around and develop another core like the KD/Russy years...
every season a team like the thunder comes to fruition and overachieves...And the team ends up in a worse situation.

What are you
at?
