2017 OKC Thunder Trade Discussion

Post #1781 » by **ThunderBolt** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 10:35 pm

Guys on the sports animal said we should trade Kanter for Eric Bledsoe.

Maybe we could trade Victor for kawhi after that. :rock:

I like the Thunder and the Magic. I wish Fournier and Vucevic were on the Thunder and Fournier and Vucevic were OFF the Magic... for free!

Fournier and Vuc take on a lot of the scoring load and they are even efficient, but they aren't stars that can lead the team. The only goal for the Magic is to find a star. Good players are expendable... Tobias Harris, Victor Oladipo...and now Fournier and Vucevic. If Payton and Gordon don't step it up, they can go too. We have to sift and churn the talent until the cream rises to the top.

But OKC really could have used the extra scoring punch that Fournier and Vucevic can provide. 2 good young veteran players for Russ to kick it out to who can be reliable playing off the ball or with the ball. I hate the negativity around Westbrook and the lovefest for Harden. If Russ had better scorers around him, Houston would've been smoked.

I know OKC fans love Adams, but I wonder if they wouldn't be a better team with Vucevic. Kanter is not the scorer that Vucevic is... though I'm sure some OKC fans could disagree. If the ball is in Vuc's hands, he can do something with it all on his own. If Fournier had wide open kick outs from Russ, his numbers would be insane. I wonder if there was another trade between us that would work...

Don't think so. I admit I'm not a Fournier fan, but just from the front office they've said Adams is a core guy, just him and Russ (and Collison but nobody's trading for him lol).

Adams and Abrines for Vuc, Fournier picks 26 and 33...yes please

Post #1785 » by **ThunderBolt** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 12:12 am

Vucevich could be a nice fit on this team. Fournier was a 40% three point shooter until this year. I would take them both. The problem is, how do the thunder get them? Does Orlando really want Oladipo back and Kanter? Doubt it. I just don't see how it could work.

The look on Victors face if Vucevic and Fournier came to the team would be priceless. It would be like groundhog day for him.

What do you guys think of Tobias Harris? I was trying to think of wings that aren't stars, but might be attainable and could fill a role.

I don't know who Detroit would want for Harris. A three way trade? idk just spitballing

Screw it, let's get Harris, Vuc, Fournier, and try to bring in ilyasova and dedmon as well. 2016 Orlando magic party in full swing.

BadWolf · Post #1788 » by **BadWolf** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 5:32 pm

I think Thad Young would be a really good fit. Great around the rim, great in transition, solid from deep, solid defender.
Just not sure what to offer Indiana. I doubt they'd want Kanter.. Maybe Oladipo, Kanter for Monta, Thad, 18?

Post #1789 » by **ThunderBolt** » Fri Apr 28, 2017 1:51 am

Anyone who said Derozan isn't better than Oladipo...I would just like to say I still disagree. 8-)

Yeah, I like Vuc but not that much. Rather ride with Adams. And there's no way the FO does this.

Bird stepping down as president, could be a fire sale about to go down in Indiana. And no that doesn't mean we're going to get in the PG race, despite what half of our fan base believes possible.

Pritchard is a very sharp front office guy. Not going to steal anyone from them.

I'd take Thad Young if Taj walks.

I think this singles that PG13 did not make the All-NBA team. Which means he will be dealt this off season. Who can put together the best package.

If we offer Sabonis and Oladipo for PG13 they should be very interested. They have to build around Turner and whatever they get for PG13. Dipo and Sabonis are both under team control.

They're not trading PG13 for Sabonis and Oladipo.

Sure but Indy wouldn't. Not sure what it would be exactly. Maybe the pick, or Kanter/pick, or Dipo and find a 3rd team to send something else back to OKC.

We are not dealing Dipo for a big

You could get more than Thad. And it would be to replace Taj, he's probably gone.

if we offer Adams, Oladipo, Sabonis, Abrines and our draft pick this year for Paul George, that might be enough to get Indiana to call us back...and laugh in our face.
