Only problem is Boston might be hamstrung by being over the second apron.

JDUB is a 24 year old allstar who just came off a season averaging 22/5/5, while being named to the All defensive teams. They'll move other pieces before they move him, JDub is untouchable.

Chet still has insane upside, which if achieved makes him even more valuable. He was looking better than Wemby while asserting himself as the 2nd option pre-injury early this season.

They are gonna have to pick at some point.

"Virtual replays" are so useless
Could just use real footage

lmao the look on Shai's face in that replay. Dude was shocked that someone finally shoved him.

McDaniels was going to boil over at some point. Dude isn't known for his composure.

That’s clearly a flagrant foul.

Agree. But it's hard to root for this team when the team's captain gets a special whistle.

Of the 2 east teams, which one will give OKC more problems?

cjx · Post #635 » by **cjx** » Fri May 23, 2025 3:01 am

Remember Jaden McDaniels is Baby Pip

Take the loss of composure over the crippling migraines, Fam, take it :lol:

Only problem is Boston might be hamstrung by being over the second apron.

The team is built to weather 3 maxes (2 rookie and the super max starting two seasons after this coming one) by churning draft picks to replace role players.

Wiggins locked up four years. Dort and Hart are cap casualties in a couple years.

This could be a trap though. Dort and Hart type players might be more valuable than a Jalen Williams max contract in this new CBA. Like, these super role players are what makes OKC a juggernaut, and finding players like that is always harder than it looks.

Luckily OKC has insane draft capital, so they have a better chance and finding those players than anyone...

I love Jdub. He has no bag, he brings very versatile defense, some shooting and handling and basic passing. I think they should just ride deep into the tax and apron Celtics style and then when cracks show blow it up a little and keep the core 3. Retool and take it from there.

Not really sure how Gobert gets the blame now as he helped the Timberwolves make the WCF for the 2nd year in a row.

The Thunder won 68 games with the best point differential of all time. They’re just a great team, and the Timberwolves would be in worse shape if they didn’t have Gobert.

In today's NBA it is, unfortunately.
