@SteveThunderfan @NateDuncanNBA He all defense against Donavon Mitchell, and usefully against Luka. Cavs should want him cause they can't beat any team with Dort.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@spainpnr 9th or 10th, not 8th.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@ThunderNumbers Sure, but I wouldn't go into 2nd apron for guys 9, 10 and 11 on last playoff team. If Dort, Wiggins and Joe were top 8 on the roster, sure spend away. But for now it is better to get under 2nd apron and give those minutes to the higher upside new talent.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@MattSandersNBA Sign him and then next summer you picking between moving Heart or Caso. Hopefully as 2 time champions.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@ShaiGorgeous2 @younreallywanme He isn't a good rebounder. He can make 3s but not some great shooter. He had 1 good shooting game in 7 playoff outings vs spurs.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@NotAnOKCFan Maybe regular season worse, but not playoff worse

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@LABlitz44 @KeithSmithNBA Okc can just decline Dort option and let him be free agent if they want to. No one is getting anything for taking Dort.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@geola388 Fans love Joe. The negativity is from not being in the playoff rotation.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@geola388 It's good value either way. Teams are not giving up 1st rd picks for older players who haven't shown much playoff viability.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@CoreyDeMoss A lot of okc fans and NBA front offices don't understand the playoff value of a hall of fame pg that holds up physically and can create real offense.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@CoreyDeMoss I would go so far as to let Kenrich walk and get Russ his vet minimum spot. Russ would have actually been a viable option getting us past the spurs this year after injuries took out our 3 and and 3 rd creators. Russ would unlock Chet like we havent seen.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@DavidCthrough Start by figuring out Joe not a top 10 guy on the team last year and projected not top 12 guy on roster this year. Than come with your bad takes.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@HoopFocusX Dollars aside, you have to move these guys not contributing in the playoffs. Need the minutes to develop higher upside players.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@ThunderNumbers Is Joe a top 10 player on the roster?

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@ThunderNumbers Not only is it good for okc, it is great for Joe. Thunder are doing right by their players, sending them to good fit contenders where they can actually play so they can benefit on their next contract. It's why around the league thunder organization are highly respected.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 If the thunder go into 2nd apron they are chosing to do it for 9th or 10 best player. Wouldn't that go against your point that teams are terrified of 2nd apron. I still think it is more likely they move Dort to go under 2nd apron .

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 Dort 9th or 10 th best player playoff rotation this year. Thunder can get under 2nd apron bring back top 8 players and infuse 2 new lottery picks and 2 previously injured lottery picks. We are not in Celtic or Twolves situation. We are getting better phasing guys out.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@okcthunderedup They also don't have to offer much for guys who could make our playoff rotations. Value would have been higher at trade deadline.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@YossiGozlan People are crazy if they think presti trading Dort to Lakers.

[SwishTheUprights @SwishTheUpright]

@CPUFXRnDMV @BobbyMarks42 They just traded their 11th and 12th players for two lottery picks with way more upside. That is called being set up for years.
