Who would you sign?

[timO]

60/3 for Wood/Grant

20/2 team option for Russ comeback?

[Clav]

I'm offering 40/2 to Jerami Grant, and 20/2 for Dario Saric, bring on TW signee Olivier Sarr for 4/10 (Non-Guarantee or TO-yr3/4)


Also would be pleased with Torrey Craig for 50/3 or less per-year than Grant but post play is more a priority for OKC I believe.

Would you be interested in Siakam in trade?

[ThunderBolt]

Would you be interested in Siakam in trade?

Probably not for a price that raptor fans would like. I like siakam and think he could help but without assurances he wants to extend here it’s hard to part with any of our best proven young assets. You want a several mid to late firsts? Sure.
