Thunder won the trade deadline just by getting Chet back weeks earlier than everyone thought.  

They'll have a lineup of:

Chet/Hart/Dub/Dort/SGA

They can have a lockdown lineup of:

Chet/Dub/Caruso/Dort/Wallace  (good lord).  SGA is still very good on defense but they have three elite wing defenders with an elite shot blocker.

But all that defense leads to fouls. It's gonna be sad when OKC loses round 2 to the Lakers, while Luka and Bron combine for 35+ free throws a game...

mark williams is a good add for LAL.

I know little about him, but his stat line looks good.  Knecht is a loss though for sure.  I don't think we'll have a first rounder for the rest of my lifetime.

Lakers are going the Suns route of having no depth.  Didn't work out for Phoenix..

[Charania] The Memphis Grizzlies are trading Marcus Smart and a 2025 first-round pick to the Washington Wizards in a multi-team trade that sends two second-round picks to Memphis, sources tell ESPN. Memphis creates roster flexibility with the move.

Memphis traded two firsts to get him and another to get rid of him. I would criticize them but they are absolute witches at finding value rotation players out of nowhere.

Yeah that isn't happening. 

OKC is a fucking machine right now and they just got Chet back. It would be a huge letdown for them to not make the Finals.

Maybe they think you get a first round pick if you collect ten second round picks.

This... is a Schrute buck.

Spurs have or control their 1st rd pick for the next three years from the Dejounte Murray trade. 2026 is a swap, but 2025 and 2027 belong to the Spurs. 

 

Who's the 26 a swap with? Decent chance that 25 pick might not be a lottery pick.

Schroeder to Detroit, lol.  He and PJ should compare travel...

Wonder what he's going to compare the trade system to now.

It’s a swap with Atlanta. The Spurs own or control the Hawks’ 2025-27 picks from the Dejounte Murray trade.

Thanks, I sometimes have the reading comprehension of a third grader.

I don't think they had any choice.  Nobody wants any part of the Nnaji or Saric contracts and they don't have much draft capital to work with.

Yeah we’re fucked. A few shitty overpaid assets we want to get rid of and have no draft picks to sweeten the deal and MPJ making boatloads of money and he’s playing too well this year for them to dump his contract. The only way we were making a move is if Watson or Strawther was included along with dead weight and Watson just got hurt. Nnaji and to a lesser extent Saric deals are looking really fucking dumb, but Nnaji has played better the past few games.

They have been playing well lately, just need to get healthy.  I'd be pissed if they traded Watson or CB and Mike's contract is tough to move. Nnaji looks like he belongs on an NBA roster the past few games.  Hopefully he can keep that up and build on it.

Yeah no doubt. I guess I meant we’re fucked from a roster flexibility standpoint. Tons of money allocated to MPJ and Murray. Nnaji with a big contract and for his career, underperforming. No draft capital. 2nd apron is a bitch.

A lot of promise from CB, Watson, and to a bit lesser extent Strawther, so I’m glad we didn’t trade them. First round pick DaRon Holmes injured for the year who we were excited about. You know it’s not great though when Unc (DeAndre Jordan) is playing good minutes. He’s supposed to just be a coach in uniform who plays a lot of golf.

Either way I’m excited for the playoffs. OKC is really the only team I don’t think we’d beat in a 7 game series in the west, every other team we have a fighter’s chance. Have tickets to 3 games rest of regular season and will hit at least 1 game each playoff series.

When you have the best player in the world, you've got a shot against everyone, but they're no longer the favorites.  This team's issue is playing defense.  They can score with anyone, just need the defensive intensity to ramp up.

There's no age where you're too young to fly.  That's a personal decision.

Also like, that's the business, bro.  You're being paid millions of dollars, I think you'll both live.
