OKC Thunder 2022-23 Regular Season Discussion

Marc D. made a big mistake for going small in the last two minutes of regular time. We lost the game because because of rebounding. Coach makes a very good job this season but this was a bad decision.

Should have won this game Dort and giddy shots were bad. I used to be a dort fan but he can't finish and can't shoot. His shot form even at the ft line is bad doesn't keep the ball centered in front of him. It comes up from his right side. Jre is very rusty, never thought I would say this but jwill is better than I thought.

We have a lot of guys I like but Shai, Chet and Jalen are the only untouchables for me.

It might just be the start of a mini tank rather than a legit injury.

I would add Joe for his 3 points accuracy
And wiggins for his contract value as somewhat untouchable.

Basically if we ever trade for a star using our assets , there’s a high chance that wiggins is a more than serviceable 8-10th man .

nobody is untouchable tbh but we aren't trading any those guys mentioned (and Giddey) except for a major overpay.

I'm not particularly interested in trading Dort but he's the only "good" player on our roster that it would make some sense to trade to improve in other positions.

Givony mentioned the 2024 draft is beyond terrible...of course when we got 4 FRPs picks

2023 was the only year to really suck so we better be good next season!

It’s a year away. Lots of guys can pop up in that time. That’s 2 March Madnesses away.

Untouchable in terms of normal deal. Obviously if Luka wants to be in OKC pretty much everything will be on the plate .

Yeap . If nobody pop it will be cheaper to consolidate too for someone we really like.

There’s always a senior that someone will think can produce immediately that we can trade for future assets too.

yeah I thought he was exaggerating at first but he said there are no players at the top like Banchero or Chet who I like but are not great first top picks. It's likely a bad draft at the top but doesn't mean we can't find good/great players.

It’s part of a bigger conspiracy by the nba to make sure no fans get to see elite players in prime time games.

He needs to study pretty much every part of Joe's game.

Giddey's shot coming to back to earth...which we knew it was gonna happen so it's fine for now.
