@Verysimpleidea@SamQuinnCBS i expect them to pick at least dort's option up because presti isn't someone who would let assets leave for free, and i view dort as redundant to the thunder and the clear odd man out for their future plans
@Verysimpleidea@SamQuinnCBS they are team options, so technically the thunder do. i actually expect the thunder to pick up dort's option and decline ihart's option to renegotiate with ihart.
@PranavSriraman besides the mental midget part, i think wemby just fundamentally counters him and makes him entirely useless. thunder absolutely have to trade him.
@DOC323123 chet needs to be traded in the offseason. he's not a max level player, and the fact that he and jdub are getting max money next season will end the contention window for the thunder.
@SamQuinnCBS people say that the westbrook trade closed the lakers window, but i think they could've eventually survived the effects of the westbrook trade if they re-signed caruso.
@RichStapless can rui and smart handle this environment? yes 100%. but thereโs better 2 way guards on both teams than marcus smart and every player in this series outside of kornet plays better defense than what rui is capable of
@RichStapless this series is just a massive reality check. i actually think that only 3 lakers would get minutes on either of these teams, and I actually think that reaves would be a bench player on both, so only luka and bron would be starters on both.
@Coopz___ this is the highest collection of nba talent i've ever seen in two rosters. i genuinely think the majority of rotation players in this game would start for at least 22 teams in the league
@SamQuinnCBS in fact iโd take it a step further: the lakers and nuggets should move luka/jokic preferably to the east and sacrifice the next few years to accumulate assets, tank, and bide their time while the thunder and spurs run the west.
