Guess it's time to move out of the offseason thread and into a general for this season.

Scott Perry masterclass in asset management to trade the Spurs 1st to OKC (so we only get it if it's 1-16, which is not happening) to move up and take Nique Clifford and then dump Clifford to OKC for two seconds.
