Shai for the 4th pick and a future unconditional 1st round pick.


Shai comes home.

More likely Dort comes home at that price than Shai.

This really says it all. OKC would be fools to trade Shai for any type of pick package right now.

Future all star and potential franchise player yet he can’t move us up three spots in the draft. I don’t buy any of these rumors.

I really don't mind those stupid rumors and I don't care if SGA is underrated. Important thing is that Presti knows how valuable SGA is. If both Presti/SGA believe it's better to find a team with a better timeline or whatever, go for max value. I doubt that's the case but if it is, I have SGA as the second player with most value that may be available (behind Lillard and ahead of Beal/Simmons).

An excellent reminder that everyone is in full hype mode right now, and that likely almost none of the top 10 picks will be a star.

I still love the hype right now. It’s always a fun week.

I love the rumors and what others fans are saying, they want half of our pick ,plus SGA and bazley or dort and the waterboy for their first round pick, others say SGA dont want to stay in okc but would love to stay in houston or with the cavs

I really like Hollinger, but these wacky back to back takes sum up the hysteria:

In fact, I wonder if teams in the top three are actually being too careful here and pricing too much certainty into the eventual quality of their draft picks. What are the odds of the second or third pick in the draft actually turning out to be better than Gilgeous-Alexander? Go back and look at the last 10 drafts before you answer.

Then, three sentences later:

(While we’re here, and if we really want to get crazy: What about a three-way trade that moves the Thunder to the top pick to take Cunningham, Detroit down to No. 3 to take Mobley and the Cavs dropping to No. 6 but landing Gilgeous-Alexander, with both Detroit and Cleveland walking away with extra Thunder draft picks?)

He perfectly summed up draft day for me . Everyone is picking the sure thing and if you want move up… are you bringing enough to the table for the trade ?

Three Team Trade.

Sixers send out: Simmons, Maxey, Thybulle and Hill. 2021 1st Rounder and 2023 Lottery protected 1st rounder
Sixers receive: Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tony Bradley (sign and trade)

Kings Send out: Hield, Barnes, Bagley and 2021 1st Rounder
Kings Receive: Simmons, Thybulle and Hill

Thunder Send out: SGA, Bradley
Thunder Receive: Maxey, Bagley, #9 and 28 in 2021 1st round and sixers 2023 pick

Sixers upgrade their 1-3 positions adding SGA a real 3-level scorer in the backcourt + get a back-up big man to spell Embiid
Kings shake it up with Haliburton, Fox, Thybull and Simmons in the 1-4.
Thunder keep adding assets, while not mortgaging the future (essentially 5 1st round picks if you include Maxey and Bagley)

Sorry, not enough for Shai. We're better off waiting for everyone else to catch up on how good he is, then trading him after the extension.

Also, Bradley can't be traded.

Based off Morey's requests so far, think he'd ask us for more than SGA + 6 + every Clippers/Rockets pick we have

These offers are hilarious. Morey isn't an idiot. He is a good negotiator.

I can't help but wonder if this is more trying to send a message to Simmons and his crew than anything else. Basically, it's "Hey bro, you aren't as good as you think you are."

Shamet was so bad this season. No idea why Phoenix spent a late FRP for him

Nets have 5 picks tonight now so wouldn't be shocked to see them land a decent rotation piece out of this

Russ with Lebron would be so weird. Also, this has to mean Beal is on the move.
