Are there any bigs in the top 10 of the upcoming draft class? Currently Thunder are projected to have the 7th and 9th picks. That might influence their Hartenstein decision.

Well, the number 1 seed is already OKC's lol.

Yep, there was unsettled score from last year and Thunder didn't forget, it's payback time...

The Lakers’ perimeter defense is a big problem. I don’t know if it can be fixed, either. Getting LeBron back will help, but I don’t think he alone will be enough.

The Thunder guards are getting in the paint with ease.

Shai > Luka

Never want to hear it again

Shai the best player in the game outside of Wemby. Anyone saying Giannis, Jokic, Luka is a flat out hater. Big Luka fan too but this guy is just relentless.

Shai is him. I'd only take Wemby in a redraft.

This doesn't really speak to their 1 on 1 capabilities. If they switched places I don't see Shai carrying this Lakers team past that OKC team with Luka.

Lakers are no contenders. It's OKC, Houston or Denver this year

When Luka had a.good team, he kicked him out of the PO, last year, Lakers blew out OKC in OKC, didn't see these declarations back then.

Possibly Jayden Quantaince and Chris Cenac who are 6'10 or bigger. But relying on 19 year old rookie bigs in the midst of a multi-year title run seems like a recipe for disaster.

I’ve seen enough. This OKC team is quite a bit better than last year. Much more cohesion offensively. Only bad injury luck or a godly performance by an all time great can beat them.

From what I've seen, Shai doesn't want Smart to switch. He's cooking him.

Never thought we were better than OKC. Everyone else is fair game tho.

How long after this game ends before Windy or someone from ESPN cranks up the Ja to Lakers rumour ? This is exactly the type of hail Mary desperate move Pelinka would do too lol
