if they had managed their assets just a bit better, i feel like they could've kept him and he would have been a near perfect fit for kawhi and pg.

Just say it, Jerome Robinson was the trashiest pick possible (with Porter Jr. available)

Very smooth. Never looks like he's moving fast. Love that he uses his left so much. Hopefully Chet bulks up so he doesn't look like a baby giraffe on ice. OKC should at least be a fun team to watch for the next few years.

Giddy/Sga/Dort is a nice little trio. I'm not the biggest Chet fan tbh but he can block shots and stretch the floor. Okc will most likely trade for the next disgruntled superstar with their billions of picks lol. They have a bright future ahead of them.

I really like SGA but this thread seem a little premature.

Can't win when you get rested for tank position :wink:

Everyone seems to forget about him because of the Thunders tank. He's an all star caliber player that hasn't been given the keys until maybe this season.

oh, I don't blame you for being excited about SGA, I was referring to this part.

SGA, Giddey and Chet. Gonna be a fun decade.

Gimme a break I'm excited lol. Summer league has been all Giddey and Chet and it feels like SGA is being slept on. Regardless of Chets weight he'll always be a menace at the rim due to his wingspan. The man is not Tacko Fall lol

I'm happy he's playing for Team Canada right now, unlike Wiggins.

He's gonna be an all star this year

I could see Shai Gilgeous Alexander have the his best season of his career this upcoming season. The problem is that his team overall is going to be quite bad for another year or two and that hold him from making a all star game.He should consider demanding a trade if the Thunder are still looking like we contiue to be a bad team this time next year.

He’s had a much longer rest than Wiggins.

RIP Shai,

The world is cruel.

Probably one of the next "Stars" to get tired of his losing situation and request a trade.

heck, i would've been fine skipping over porter to get williams, you know?

but what can you do? plus it's not like OKC would've necessarily taken porter back in any trade. maybe they draft him, and fast forward a few years later the clips are saddled with him, his max contract, and the legitimate high-risk he'll be out of the league due to injury.

Smoothest player in the league, by far.

I hope Sam "Lord of the picks" Presti, lets him play a full season.

Trade demands in situation like this wouldn't bother me. I'd lose interest if my boss insisted on having me work with incompetent co-workers for years on end out of the hope that they'll acquire an all-time great employee down the road.

Most overrated player in the league. What has achieved him so far apart from missing 40 games per season?
