Thunder don't need an aging superstar. They have their stars that fit well together. They need a big role player who can space the floor and shoot from outside and rebound
RIGHT!!!! I’m sick of the PG and KD rumors. WE DONT NEED THEM. We have enough star power we just need a plethora of 3&D guys who can drive and kick. We literally have the blueprint to be a this years version of the Celtics. We had our time with PG and he sold us in the playoffs. I still can’t forgive KD either and he don’t like us. Also, THEY OLD. We don’t need a regressing star. Just a sizable 3&D guy
@PapaFurnace Are you serious? The Boston 5 are all multiple all-stars players. Tell me which other 4 Thunder players will be an all-star beside Shai? Role player doesn't win championship. Tell me what is the difference you substitute AC with Lu or Cason substitute Isaiah Joe or vice versa? Your feeling toward the players are just yours. That's not what the Thunder's players or brass feel. If Thunder doesn't win championship what is the difference than Thunder and teams like Pelicans, Jazz, Washington, Clippers, Suns, Portland...Without championship to show for, Thunder fans can jump up and down all they want but who cares?
@@jacktan431 I hear ya. KD or PG would be fun. But if Chet and JDub make that All-Star leap, and with another good role player to play the 4 I think we can give Boston a run.
I'm thinking they are trying to make I.Joe redundant by having Cason and Caruso, 2 over 40% guys from deep. I'm looking for him to be the trade piece for a front court player. Either a centre, power forward or hybrid type guy
I agree, I'd happily cash in and take something in a deal for Joe. He is a good shooter, but does nothing else particularly well. I'd trade Joe 100% of the time instead of Wallace
(Semi-realistic options). 1-Topic. 2-Devin Carter. 3-Da'Ron. 4-Bub. 5-Saloun. 6-Scheierman. 7-Edey. 8-K.George...Having Dieng & Tidjane Saloun battle for the '4' spot is not the worse option.
Daron Holmes Johnny Furphy Tristan da Silva Jaylon Tyson Kyle Flipowski Rob holland Are the guys okc should draft,I don’t understand the McCain hype when dalton is better at everything besides playmaking and defense even though dalton can playmake plus no reason to draft a guard we have enough also we can just draft a guard next year this year should be about fit and need which is a big wing or a backup big
Dream acquisitions 1st - PG 2nd - Lauri 3rd - Jarace Walker and Jalen Smith Dream draft 1st - Cody Williams 2nd - Ron Holland 3rd - Matas Buzelis (probably have to trade up for this)
Gimme Tristan Da Silva or Daron Holmes. We need nba ready dudes who can hop into our system and fit seamlessly. Or trade the pick. Or draft a guard to replace Wiggins/Joe in case they get expensive. So blessed to have all these options man I love this team ⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@mazyarkheradmand3837their really no reason to trade down in this draft especially were the thunder are at their no difference between 12-20 especially when everyone draft projection are all over the place they’re players in 12 range projected to go 20
TBH I'm done with PG. After watching the clippers get destroyed by the Mavs. KD is a different story because He's still Avg SUPERSTAR numbers and he's had one of his best defensive season, 27-7-5 on 52-41-86, 63% TS, on mainly jumpers. I wouldn't mind getting KD back but with the PG stuff I don't want PG no more. My DREAM PF would Lauri Markkenen so it's either Lauri or KD and PG can stay with the Clips
No doubt AC is a better fit for the Thunders now, but for all those who think he is going to be a game changer is not being realistic. The man is a 6.8-point career scorer. Not a world beater. I think his value to the team is similar to Isaiah Joe. If Thunder miss on PG or KD, they should use some of the cap space to sign Tobias. If the Thunder is going to sign AC for 4 years, $80mil, $20-$25mil/ per year for Tobias isn't too bad. He is 6'9", a good defender, and 3" point shooter. Fit what the Thunder is looking for a big wing. And you don't have to lose future assets for him. Or even Klay. If Thunder is going to spend so much money on AC, why not consider Klay. Him and GSW contract talk seems to break down now. 2-3 years of $20-$25mil/ yr wasn't too bad. He is an upgrade for AC. Try to sign PG or KD, if that fail, sign Tobias/ Klay, draft Edey, and the Thunder will be hard to beat. Zach will be instant double double the moment he steps on the floor. He will terrorize every team 2nd unit. And he will help put Thunder games more on national TV because he has a demographic and international markets behind him. His jersey will sell.
AC is a world class defender who shot 40% from 3. Idc about his career average. He’s a much better fit than Giddey and immediately makes us better than last year, in a year that we could just as easily won the West. He shot almost as good as Joe and can do more with the ball, plus a MUCH better defender. And Klay Thompson?? Tobias Harris? It’s clear you don’t value defense which is a huge red flag when considering your basketball prowess. You’re crazy if you think Klay is a better fit than AC. And FINALLY, the dumbest thing of all, Zach Edey?? Double double?? He wouldn’t get double digit Minutes on this team! You must have hated watching how fast and quick and skilled we played last year considering you want to throw that style at the window to give Edey minutes. That’s CRAZY! Stick to soccer or something cause basketball isn’t your sport
@devxplayerdevelopment Why u keep bringing up Josh. He does not even play in the Dallas series. The Thunder played Shai, Chet, and Jalen plus Cason/ Lu/ Isaiah. Substitute anyone of the last 3 with AC, and you will get the same result. A rout in the 2nd round in the West.
Bro I said the exact same thing last yr was his best yr avg 10 and shooting over 40% on 3pt his defense is definitely an upgrade but we lose a lot of size and rebounding with Giddey gone Alex is a better shooter but he's not a better scorer which everyone seems to think we just gonna shut everyone down n I don't see it we need more offense n Rebounding from somewhere but AC is a better fit for us right now for sure so we see how it goes
@@anthonyorman596 Yup. He is just marginalized improved the Thunder team. He brings better defense and 3" shooting. But the Thunder also lose its potential future star in Josh. Josh rebound and playmaking better than him. Josh is also the 2nd most player all time behind Luka, to have more triple doubles before 21 of age ahead of Magic, Lebron, Lamelo. He'd done that without being used as the primary ball handlers for the Thunder. But he is few more years away to be what the Thunder envision him to be. 3 years from now, he is just the same age as JDud now.
