OKC's ownership is typically on the cheaper side, but they've obviously positioned themselves quite nicely with all their incoming draft capital to be able to easily replace their non-essential pieces.

And if they cash in a couple of titles along the way, who cares if they ultimately break up the roster.

helps that they clearly have a damn good scouting department as well.

Chet is so fun to watch, so talented. A guy his size with his attention to detail and skill level, I think he can really compliment just about any team.

Very happy with Paolo, I think both teams would become worse if Chet and Paolo switched teams because Chet isn't asked to be a #1 option but still so fun to watch his mobility out there with his complete offense and shot blocking.

I don't think he can straight up demand double teams like Paolo can but still.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Not a bad team for them to watch as they are some of the most capable players in the league at potentially replicating OKC's ball pressure.

Haliburton 32-12-15 4 steals 0 turnovers. Wow.

Think he's been a little underrated in the past maybe due to lower PPG and less flashy scoring than other current greats, but don't think that will be the case anymore. Legit one of the best players in the league, really feels like the modern Nash/Chris Paul great PG to me.

So who can we poach off of the Pacers? Nembard? Mathurin? Offensive coach? Lol


I'd love to see the Magic play like them, running in transition and going 10-13 deep, wearing out the other team.

Fact he can do that in conference finals is crazy.

Guy has 44 assists on 6 turnovers vs Knicks :crazy:
