I just looked up OKC's pick situation for the upcoming draft. I didn't know they had Utah's and Philly's 1st unprotected pick :dahell:

So OKC has 3 shots at getting a top-3 pick :why:

Damn Presti was on some other shyt :scust:

They only get Utah’s pick if it finishes outside the top 8

But yeah

The Clippers pick from the Kawhi trade, Utah pick from eating the Favors contract and Philly from taking Horford

They also have the Rockets pick

Presti put on a masterclass to rebuilding :wow:

4 1st round picks is crazy. Depending on how they fall, I'd flip those for younger players if they don't like who's available at the picks, just keep flipping for future stock.

This is my first time catching Toronto this season. They have the ball on a string offensively. Even Ingram is moving it most of the time and taking spot-up threes.

I wondered how Darko was gonna make it work with the players on their roster and now I'm seeing how. Those guys are really bought in.

We're about 20 games into the season and I have no idea who is coming out the East

Injuries and form at the time of the playoffs will decide it

Knicks have the most proven core I guess but nothing about that defense I've seen so far says Finals level

I'm ngl it feels like we got another Heat run loading, this has all the makings of Spo blood magic :unimpressed:

This feels like 2001 when the Sixers traded for Deke and became the favorites. Someone's gonna make a move and put themselves at the top of the mountain.

Detroit is the most likely candidate but I could also see them just letting things play out with what they have like OKC and Houston have done the past couple years.

In the unlikely case the Ainge bozos are reasonable though, it's hard not to see Markkanen being a perfect fit.
