OKC has to pursue Giannis right??!!!

Hoopstar23 · Post #1 » by **Hoopstar23** » Sun May 31, 2026 3:26 am

after that loss, they need to reload... this reminds me of 2016 Cavs Warriors when Cavs made the 3-1 comeback and then GSW reloaded to get Durant... I really think we are about to see part 2 of this...

Jaylen Williams
Ajay Mitchell
some picks

for Giannis

they need to make a decision on Chet... that was a bad performance... what do you think OKC should do here??

They need to not overreact. They just took a 62 win Spurs team clicking on all cylinders to 7 games without their 2nd best player and 2nd or 3rd best offensive player.

Dort is gone for sure. I think they have to keep Hartenstein (which means Wiggins and Joe might be out the door). I'd be very surprised if they pursued Giannis.

Would they do Chet for AD?

Id be questioning if Wemby is gonna be living in Chet's head in future playoff matches and at least inquire on giannis or another player for sure

They're not getting Giannis for Chet. Chet just became a liability with that contract. J-Dub didn't exactly help his value by being injured again.

I don't think OKC has a package to get Giannis.

If Chet enough to get Giannis? Chet is a third option, I’m sure there are better packages out there

I think it's more of a question if they'll overpay to move up for Boozer or Caleb Wilson

Ajay, 12, 17, and 2-3 future picks

I thought it would be nice to get Jokic. They need someone who can create offense.

Nobody in the top four is moving down.

No, two of your four best guys didn't play. Maybe try to move up in the draft. How hard would it be to trick Chicago into doing something dumb?

Presti is type of guy that would try to go get Boozer than go after Gianni’s who probably already has his mind set on Florida.

Hey if OKC over reacts and blows their team up. Please send Wallace over to the Raptors. They won't be able to afford him anyway. Let him shine somewhere else.

If OKC doesn't have a package for Giannis, then noone does right?
Both Williams and Holmgren are All NBA and All stars.
Who do you want? SGA? With 5 picks maybe? :lol:

People must think AJ is a lot better than he is. Maybe lucky he injured bc he was getting locked up in this series too

Wemby will destroy Giannis too

Old_Blue · Post #18 » by **Old_Blue** » Sun May 31, 2026 3:41 am

Chet is owed $240 million over the next 5 seasons. OKC needs to include draft compensation just to get off his contract.

They need to make some changes to deal with Wemby, but is Giannis the answer?

I don't think so.

Would you want to be the team paying Chet $50 million a year for the next five years?

This is J-Dub's injury history and he's only 25:
