@EthicalSpurs@SleeperThunder Going to 7 games against an injured OKC and shell of himself Chet holmgren is not impressive bro.
NYK proved yall are not ready and Fox is not a championship caliber PG. Canโt say that about OKC
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Clippers are nearing deal sending Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, 2 first-round picks, 1 pick swap and 2 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN. A return to Canada for the Raptors champion and two-time Finals MVP.
@NotAnOKCFan@EvilPresti Money isnโt unlimited and second apron affect is real. The reason we canโt trade multiple players to gain assets is bc of our payroll
@ThunderNumbers 3. We need roster spots for draft picks and designate minutes to develop.
Having 3 picks in this class (2 firsts) and having basically two others in their first full year (Topic and Sorber illness/injury) means we have less minutes to spare.
In all, thatโs why he was traded
@ThunderNumbers (Thread)
1. We are need to get below second apron which heavily restricts what you can do in terms of trades and front office moves.
As a small market team, having the ability to have all front office options (multi-player trades, mid-level, and trade firsts 6 years out)
@ThunderNumbers 2. I Joe was a solid contributor during the regular season. And just like Wiggins, he had very limited playing time in the playoffs (11 MPG) and didnโt shoot great (on 35% 3PT)
He wouldnโt have been an integral part of our postseason roster next year, and perhaps even less b/c..
