Cason Wallace is the most underrated player in the NBA.

He's a lockdown defender, solid athlete, he can run an offense, solid shooter, solid ball handler, and hes got a high IQ offensively & defensively. I think he has another gear to his game IMO.

Hes plays awfully alot like Jrue Holiday/Derrick White.

Being in unison is kind of the nature of chanting isn’t it?

Great take. He reminds me exactly of that archetype of player. He will be in this league for a long time with his skillset.

Being a Laker fan I'm now happy.

One game won't stop some team from paying him.

NAW, Conley and McDaniels are a combined 2-22

Scary to think OKC can still optimize this roster some more if they wanted to especially for next season before Chet and JDub's extensions would kick in

Shame on me for betting on my team. Who does that?

You could have done it and not smugly proclaimed on here how confident you felt in your predictions. It reflects poorly on your ability to make any predictions lol.

We’re on a messaging board, everyone here is making and missing on a ton of predictions. Lakers were the favorites going into the series and the public was also on the Clippers a day after the lines opened. You act like I made some crazy bold prediction when in fact I was very much in alignment with the public. End of the day **** didn’t work out but that’s how gambling works.

I’m pretty certain everyone here also sided with the Lakers and Clippers before the series started…guess this is just a board full of morons. You’re probably the only smart one here, I’m sure you predicted the Nuggets were going to choke in a game 7 for the second straight year.

The Denver series really gave OKC a ton of experience, especially that game 4. They made quick work of Minny

Best hands defensively I've seen since prime Jrue. So many steals, deflections, all while exercising extreme discipline with positioning. Doesn't really gamble but still creates turnovers.

#15 pick will help them for sure. Presti has a good eye.

Trade Hart, Cason, Wiggins & Topic for Giannis… Cason and Wiggins will be insanely good with starter minutes, hart is a total stud and topic could be the best player in last year’s draft if he turns out as expected.

Who says no?

Shame on me for betting on my team….FYI casinos were also on the Lakers. But what do they know.

They know that there are a lot more Laker fans in the world and as result they place a greater volume of bets.

They opened as favorites…

i'd stay with gobert

they do need a floor general though

Dump Gobert, he's a fine regular season center; but he's a liability in the playoffs and now he's declining with age.

i do think we’re at that point too. Wolves with Rudy has ran its course and peaked, problem is will any other team want him.

Lakers might do it. Rui, Gabe Vincent, Daulton and Shake.

All these years and the best you give him is gobert

All these years of what? An under 20 PER? A .90 WS/48? A DRtg higher than his ORtg? He’s just not that good. I’ve said it for years, he’s all flash and no substance or killer instinct.

All these years....he's 23 years old , he just finished his rookie contract last year lol

They've definitely overhyped him but damn would you give the kid enough time to at least grow a moustache before you write him off?!

I’m quoting the guy that said “all these years and they give him blah blah” like he’s been around long enough and done enough to deserve some all-star roster. SMH. Pay attention, man.
