That's true but Wiggins isn't leading that team. By your comments you say he's the fourth best player on his team. I would say he's third. Some players won't pan out, I get that. Wiggins was supposed to be "the guy" and he probably won't be that. That's why multiple pics and multiple players are important. Nothing is guranteed. I just don't like feeling we have no way possible to improve our team, even if that's team is a lower tier playoff team.
I don't think the last sentence is true. You just never know when it's going to happen. To put a recent example to it, Portland looked flat bad most of last season. They traded for Nurkic and suddenly people think they're going to make a leap (I don't know, but maybe they will). OKC needs to find that sort of trade.
...congrats? this was a great trade, and out of nowhere. for as much as it gives us flexibility in the event westbrook isn't extended or a means of flipping PG13 at the deadline or whatever as anything.
i don't think it changes the basic truths of this discussion, namely our inability to really compete and the opportunity tanking would provide.
i'm a little concerned westbrook hasn't extended yet.
