@birdrightsnba I think it’s shortsighted by the Kings and essentially a free look at a player they probably liked during the draft process. There is ample playing time available as well, so why not…
Also he does some Thundery stuff.
@davidmb1989 A lot of it I think is that teams don’t have a cohesive plan and as a result every roster decision and draft pick need immediate results.
Also lots of GMs have mandates (win now) and timelines that are super unfair by ownership.
Presti is the mandate and the timeline for OKC
Some more notes on this:
- OKC had up to 21 seconds available to trade
- Nique Clifford: $3.2M, $3.4M, $6M (Team)
- The trade does not hard cap OKC at the second apron since a trade exception created in the offseason was used to acquire Clifford.
