Any potential OKC dynasty or fending off of Wemby will come down to Dubb

Not because i think he's some transformational player. But because similar to Denver and MPJ you can't have 200+ million tied to a nygga that stinks in 85% of his playoff games and is always injured.

It's already over. Starting next season his salary goes to 40 something million until it's in the mid 50's at the end of the deal. If OKC wanted to unload him, who would pay that much for him?

Going to be funny when nobody really wants to trade for Giannis cause who wants to play a guy who's game is 99% athleticism 55 million a year with his body breaking down.

The way he hyperextended his leg reminded me of PG last year...when you get hurt by just coming down with the ball, the clock is ticking :hubie:

I think that's a problem for down the road. They're probably gonna get rid of Caruso/IHart/Dort's contracts before they think about moving JDubb

That being said, his season has been a fukking disaster.

Ironically, Giannis needs a team where he can fukk off for 30+ games with annual injuries without said team missing a beat

OKC if forced to deal with someone fukking off 30+ games due to annual injuries, would prefer a guy worth waiting for

That said, they'll assume this is a one time (1.5x actually) injury issue with Dubb. However his struggle playoffs have happened 2-years straight heading into these playoffs...

I agree. Of those three... Dort is their least important asset imo, but IHart (their most important) and Caruso seem more and more injury prone.

I view it like, SGA is their 300m guy... cool. Chet is their 200m 3rd option defensive anchor (Healtes Bosh)... cool...

So what would an ideal 200m 2nd option look like for their team?

Their hoping that answer is still Dubb
