Yeah that shit takes some time to adjust to. A lot of the moral stuff you’re taught as a kid is just to make you behave as a kid, once you’re an adult and your actions have their own consequences, you realize it was all just stories
Can't believe I missed this, but the Spurs literally have Rashard Lewis on their coaching staff, the guy who the domino effect that led to the Thunder getting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander started with.
Thunder trade Lewis to the Magic for a 2009 second-round pick and a trade exception.
OKC later uses the trade exception to acquire Serge Ibaka in the 2008 NBA Draft.
After that, the Thunder traded Ibaka for Victor Oladipo and a pick that OKC grabbed Domantas Sabonis with.
Later, the Thunder traded Sabonis and Oladipo for Paul George.
And finally, OKC trades Paul George for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a gazillion Clippers’ draft picks, which would later include Jalen Williams.
