Tibor Pleiss coming to OKC!

Interesting with all of the front court help already on the roster. But, I really like him coming over now. He should be ready to contribute. It looks like Presti might be up to something.

Looks like Perk getting amnesty/traded is more possible then ever.

The best news so far, it would be great

It does look that way. I doubt they amnesty him tho.

Amnesty won't happen. I could see Perk dealt at the trade deadline if Pleiss and Adams (and maybe even McGary) showed enough by then. Otherwise, I could see Perk finishing out his contract.

Yeah, probably just gonna take Thabeet's spot, but still great news!

I'm still waiting for a credible source on this. We don't have one yet.

Agree. But the local media printing the rumor might help smoke out the facts via team comment.

Ah, I was under the impression the source was credible. I'm not overly informed on the OKC area media other than reading a little of Mayberry. Seems these rumors have been around for forever, hopefully they're legit this time. My hopes are still for this and a deal involving a trade for a starting SG.

Source is a Spanish report that OKC is preparing to buy out Tibor's contract. There's been no corroboration yet from anyone else as far as I can see. Tentatively hopeful, but dubious.

They really should bring him over. What's Thabeet contributing to this team at this point?

Yeah, report seems to be wrong per the Oklahoman.

It still sounds like speculation. The team he plays on seems like they need money. Sounds like they are typing to create a power play, they will soon feel how J Kidd feels. I would not count this out. I think the Thunder want the best 15. They should go into camp w/ 18 - 20 players, competition makes everyone better.

will not happen, f... it :nonono:

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not overly knowledgeable about euro-prospects, but I'm not overly excited about Pleiss when he does come over. If this means they get a wing in free agency instead of that spot being wasted on a third big, I'm actually really glad!

jackson77 · Post #17 » by **jackson77** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 3:01 pm

I'm not happy about that
Pleiss is a very good player, he and Adams would be great complemented to each other

Podirk · Post #18 » by **Podirk** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 3:29 pm

I'm still thinking Pleiss comes over. One of Presti's dominoes started to fall too soon and he straightened it up.

Darnell did say that it was still possible so we don't know for sure.

Wouldn't he be paid more in Europe? unless we miss on free agents, plus need roster spots.
