This gives us an extra spot if Bazley is gone. Makes sense to trade Moses.

I’m sad to lose him. My guess is that Sam told him there was a deal if he wanted, and he opted to go to a contender.

Moose was great. Come back anytime.

:nonono: I'm very disappointed by this trade. Mike was one of my favorite players. Would have prefer a deal with Bazley.

We should go after Collins since his value is low right now but we won't (think Presti isn't willing to trade Dort).

Dort is one of those guys that if we trade him he figures out his three ball and finishing at the rim, I can just say “good for him ” and move on.

Bazley gone - makes sense and I'm happy
Muscala gone - makes sense but not happy about it.

Guess Saric will play a bit and we will waive JJ. Who gets the open spot?

Wonder if it’s Sarr.

I listened to an hour interview from Sarr this offseason and he wasn't optimistic about his chances in OKC...been a while though.

Let the tank begin! (Sort of joking)

I’m interested in seeing how Saric affects the team. I think it could be very telling to see how good we really are with him. I wonder if this is a way for us to see how ready this team really is - and could shape our priorities this off-season.

I’m not even sure we have tank to miss the playoffs.

Our schedule is so easy that it will be difficult to have good lottery odds

Not great but I like distant 2nd. We will probably trade at least one 2023 SRP.

Mann doesn’t know how to do anything but look for his own shot.
