PG: Return of the Tank

Painfully obvious playing a real team like OKC, we need major talent infusion from top 5 of this draft

Thunder are so good, dynasty incoming...

Tonight was a perfect example of why trading Yak would be perfect/is necessary for a good tank.

No shame losing to a younger, more talented basketball team with a much better front office

IMO Raptors would still lose bad tonight even with Jak. The talent deficit tonight is glaring, the Raptors FO still has their work cut out for them.

yea, I don't think people understand what OKC does on defense. Poetl makes no difference except for rebounding this game. they would block/turnover him a lot.

The number of flat out just stupid hyperbolic hot takes in the GT.. amazing.

There is only one OKC Thunder in the NBA last I checked. There is no tank right now, we just got beat by a much better team.

And with the 16th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft the Toronto Raptors select....

Maybe if Jak has a 10 offensive rebound game, we lose by 10-15 instead of 37

And how it demoralizes the team and you end up having to replace him somehow

Even with IQ/Kelly/Bruce, it wouldn’t have made no difference.

Acquiring Yak has set this franchise back in so many seasons - not his fault though
