@ThaLakerNation@Kameron_Hay Wemby will never ever have a game where he isn’t impactful on defense which is why it shouldn’t be used to evaluate his overall performance
Browns GM Andrew Berry consulted the Myles Garrett blockbuster trade with Thunder executive Sam Presti, per @AlbertBreer.
“Presti affirmed Berry’s resolve to prioritize getting a player and not just picks, taking him through the Paul George trade of 2019. Most folks on the outside focused on the four first-round picks and two additional first-round pick swaps Presti landed in the deal. But the reality was that OKC viewed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a player they were higher on than most, as the key. SGA has since won two MVPs and was the best player on a title team.”

@shadow_runner5@Maccaraps@driveslow05@JalapenoJordan@sponhourm Genuinely a ridiculous thought process. Beating the Utah Jazz without him in the RS is vastly different than trying to win a series without him.
He was very clearly necessary last year in the playoffs against the elite teams, and nothing has changed in that regard.
@ProctrDoctr has hand/wrist is pretty fucked up too, which will come out.
I’m glad he didn’t go out sad for sure. The notion he hasn’t come through like this before bothers me though.
This is the most impressed I've ever been with SGA in a game.
He had maybe his worst series in his career but he HAD to play better in game 7 and DID.
No Dub
No Mitchell
Goes 10/16 on TOUGH 2s
That was an MVP Performance.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had nothing but praise for his teammates after this series.
“Yeah, I'm so impressed by this group. Not to make any excuses, but they're a really good team over there, and losing Ajay and Dub the way we did in the midst of the series, you'd think it'd be a lot harder for us, but those guys never got discouraged, they played their butts off, d the reason we got to this point in the series is because of them. Supporting cast was amazing this series. Hats off to them. They were big time. I wish I was a little more myself throughout the series, give them more of a boost, more of a chance, but yeah I'm nothing but proud of my guys.”
I have a confession
I didn’t wear my lucky Thunder socks game 1
I wore them game 2
Forgot to wear them game 3 because I was in a rush
I’ll be better game 4.

@PeakGlo@Omarmj123@DcuoLamonsta Regular season and winning a series against the actual elite teams is a way different story
He was very obviously needed last year. And a lot of their success without him this year has had to do with Ajay who also is out
