Teams around the NBA are panicking over the OKC Thunder obtaining the LA Clippers’ 2026 1st Round pick in the NBA Draft Lottery

wouldn't surprise me if Peterson/Dybantsa probably don't even want to be drafted there, franchise talents/#1 pick would probably prefer to slot into their own team

Wait, what?

So now we have people always complain that best players get drafted to bum teams (Pelicans, Hornets, Jazz, etc), but now also people will complain that the best players will get drafted by the BEST teams too?

Just shows that people complain too much and cant be happy

True but at the same time, if OKC got a top-3 pick, they could easily flip it to more picks and talent and if no one bites, draft the player and have their rights at least.

Boozer would probably be the best pick for them if he's a PF/C, he'd just replace IHart, if I'm correct.

LeBron bout to request a trade to OKC

You can switch out owners and GMs but it’s still the Clippers

Build a arena that should be for San Diego not Inglewood

Thats what they get for letting an idiot savant and his uncle call shots. The curse of Blake Griffin continues

Has any of them owed OKC picked converted to a high lottery pick? I know none of the Houston ones hit.


I know they drafted Jalen Williams but j think that owed pick was in the teens.


Shyt OKC probabaly scared of that pick. They always over the second apron by a nice margin next season and Shaq new deal doesn’t even kick. Just Chet and Williams.


They get that top pick and it gets hard to fill out that roster unless they eat that penalty and tax from the second apron.


But no team should be scared. They’re a good team but they aren’t no powerhouse like the Heatles or GSW. They’re just the most well put together team in the west. All the top teams in the west have flawed rosters. The only other team whose kind of well put together is the Spurs when they’re healthy

Super teams are always relative to the league around them. The mini dynasty Lakers were a clear step above the rest of the league when everyone was healthy and able to play. THIS team is a clear step above with nikkas not even playing.

In the last 15 years or so, I think the Warriors with Durcant is the only comparable team with as big or bigger a gap than the field. Hell, maybe this whole century.

Well, the pick still has to hit. Didn’t GSW flop on a top 5 pick recently?

 

[HollywoodP]

they'll be really good til it's time to reup them contracts. That 2nd apron will cut the Dynasty short.

 

[Lord Beasley]

Good. I hope they draft another generational talent

THEIR BIG 3 IS SIGNED

Still got people saying Kuminga would be a star on his own team and James Wiseman was just mishandled by Kerr.
