Doubt Wood is an option, and it'll take more than Dort and Mann to get OG. More like Dort, Joe, and 3-5 1sts. Masai's valuation of OG is pretty stingy from reports.

maybe not that much but must be a stupid asking price for OG indeed. Problem is OG next contract $$ but if he extends for "only" 30m/year on his next contract (4x120 for example), I'm willing to give up Dort, Mann and a couple of FRPs. Might have to think about it because of shooting issue though.

I want no part of Christian Wood.

It's good that I'm not GM because I'm juiced and I'd give a ton for the right fit at the right price at the moment. Like I was saying earlier today, I think long term, the conservative play puts you in the position to compete for the next 7-8 years if you play it right. But like, get OG for picks, dort, and wiggins/joe and with the depth OKC has, in the long days of the playoffs when players are dropping, you can make a deep run if things break right. And that's with still one of the youngest rosters in the league.

Listening to Down to Dunk for the first time since this post and I will never be able to get the description of Andrew as a mega church youth pastor out of my head. I like that Euro dude Andrew co-hosts with on Mondays, though.

Mika is great yeah. I still like listening to Andrew with Alex or Mika. Andrew is a homer but he's paid to cover the Thunder so it's a tough position for him.

I think micic contract by itself is a win. At least no more of will he or won’t he come trades in future.

The only Jack white I recognise is an awesome musician so if that translate this one might work.

He played at Duke and really, really looks like he played at Duke.

The most points he averaged in his 4 year college career was 4 points. I think that after you read this post you can forget he ever existed and be ok.

Gonna be fun. Cason can't play though.

we added 4-5 more guards for the Summer League. The Presti "addiction" for picks had a lot of sense but that guard stuff is just pure comedy.

That’s impressive. Probably not significantly noticeable on his physique but will only help with disability.

heard from some Denver fans that he's not that bad and is a very good 3 pt shooter. Odds of him becoming a decent player are still pretty low but whatever.

cbafaq is unclear but the cba itself seems to suggest that draft rookies (of which, micic technically qualifies as) can be traded 30 days after signing:

my confidence that micic will play for the thunder is lower now.
