You don’t make brash roster decisions when you were one 30 footer away from making the NBA Finals without your 2nd and 3rd best offensive players.
Need to trade Dort.
Need to keep iHart.
Could use Wiggins along with Dort and the 12 & 17 picks to trade up in the draft.
You definitely don’t trade a guy that scored 40 points in the NBA Finals last year. It was just one of those years for Dub. The hamstrings will heal, he’s only 25.
You could perk my interest with a Chet trade, but not for 31yo Giannis, who is a proven diva and has gotten multiple coaches fired trying to play GM, and has an injury history. Let’s not forget that Chet is great against 28 other teams and is only 24. Would have to be a LOT in return for Chet.
We already know that the Thunder will add an All-NBA player (Dub), an elite PG defender that averaged 20+points a playoff series this year (Ajay), and a first round center (Sorber) to the team that was one 30 footer away from making the NBA Finals.
There doesn’t need to be some overhaul.
The messages/support (in the last several hours) I’ve gotten from my people in Oklahoma, and specifically, Stillwater is unconscionable, but I’m not surprised one bit. A place that will always be held in high regard by my family. Thank you all. Love you all. #GoPokes Forever
Many questions of the ages of the 1947 guys. Lowell Lange was young, born August 17th, 1928 making him 18 during NCAAs of 1947. As you can see, 2 of the 4, much older. FYI, “True Freshman”
is not defined as someone who right away competes the fall semester following high school graduation. It means they compete the first year they are enrolled. The two fellas who were 23 below graduated high school, and went and fought in WWII for a few years before heading to college. Keep that in mind please before making any disrespectful comments about being elder freshman 😬.
Sergio Vega- 19
Jax Forrest - 19

Cody Merrill has a brother at HWT in HS, and he unfortunately is going to Iowa state next year. OSU is bringing in the #1 HWT recruit Dreshaun Ross in 2026 though.
