The old man ain’t never dealing Tyler

I love Tyler. Just need to put him in the best position to succeed. Teams know that if they shackle him, theyre likely going to beat us. Hes more like our Klay than our Steph.

We getting Harper in the draft, so he will have more open opportunities. A confident, open Tyler works.

Ask out Edrice, we will celebrate your championships in OKC with you while we pray for success in the draft

That would be pretty legit and help both sides. The reason this is interesting is because OKC has a two year window before things get complicated for them. 2026-2027 is SGA last year before a super max. It's Dorts last year. Chet Holmgren would need a max extension and is a RFA. Cason Wallace last year. Jalen Williams would need a max extension and would be a RFA. Jaylin Williams is an UFA. You can't pay all those guys without having a 200M tax bill like the Celtics.

And the Thunder have a ton of picks. So they're going to need to consolidate. I dont know who they'd target but they have to do SOMETHING. They are so easily the most interesting team to watch the next few years. So much talent on a young roster, will constantly compete for titles for the next 5-10 years, will HAVE to be involved in some crazy trades, and they hold the most draft pick capital out of any team. Being a thunder fan right now is absolutely cloud 9 type stuff.

If you're OKC you also need top talent that's cheap. Why not blow the doors off whoever gets the Cooper Flagg pick? You could send them Jalen Williams and draft capital. Extremely fascinating stuff.

Hartenstein makes 30M in 2026-2027 and bam will be making around 51M. Given their cap decisions i don't think bam is the target.

I wouldnt trade Jalen for about anything. Dude was awesome this year. Shot maker and defender. Hes a rarity.

Easy decision to sit both for multiple games. Bring up Christopher and Showtime.

Hawks need to finish the 4th with the 20 point lead theyve built.

This Jimmy Butler ceiling raising nonsense needs to go south fast. Get that pick back into the teens.

Atlanta melting down like the Heat.

Need Tyler to play tomorrow, especially if Bam is out. If Tyler sits they might play connected as a team and might actually fuxk around and get the win busting their asses on both ends of the court. With Tyler out there it’ll always give the Hornets an easy target like the Mavs had when their D team beat us in Dallas

We’d probably win 15 of the 20 games we blew double digit leads in. I can provide context for the Suns downfall but I know people hate the truth

I like seeing our old projects make it up/back.

So do I. He deserved another chance!

I was equitable in my tone before but I have to say that I am genuinely angry about how the season worked out. The team is making stupid choice after stupid choice. I was vocally against Rozier, and dammit I was right. And not extending Butler was foolish. Of course he looks great. The MFer wants to win. I don't know how much Culture that is worth, how many pretty shirts, but... ok, I guess that's enough.

BUT I COULD GO ON! ;-)
