Chet is already a Thunder here and the Chet/Poku era is gonna change the NBA.

We’re going to need to build more wind shelters so our future frontcourt doesn’t get swept away.

Is it too soon for a Dust Bowl nickname?

Wait till Presti loads up the tank for Wembanyama in the 2nd half of the season.

Jabari is back at up to -1000 in some books. Vegas does not actually always know

I think we've going to need at least one more body there. Or just run in circles until Zion gets tired.

Poku would get bent in half the very first possession, but chet is tough man, he'd give some fight, as much as one can vs zion at least

I don't get why Murray is being dangled in trade rumors. Is he unhappy in San Antonio? Because otherwise it doesn't make much sense to me for the Spurs to be giving up on him after the season he just had.

I think it is beat writers trying to stir something up. I highly doubt he is moved.

If we get wemby in as well. Maybe the 3 of them will be heavier than Zion ? Can’t be too sure about that though.

I would argue it is selling high to start a true rebuild. Get a bunch of picks and tank for a top 4 pick next season makes more sense than watching Murray carry you to 11th in the West and then ask for a max extension.

Unless spurs is changing coach in the next 12 hours …. I don’t believe they will rebuild .

I think my propaganda has a few more posters liking him now. :lol:

But yeah I like him. I think he would be a neat addition to a lot of second units. He's a good offensive player.

Strong possibility that Zion might weigh more than Poku and Chet combined at that point
