The teams rebuilding and a 1-10 record so far seems we are in pole position to take another top 4 pick.My question is who would you like OKC to pick in the 2009 draft.

Derozan
or best available C

I think that, although I'm not a fan of him or OU, the team really has to try and get Griffin. He doesn't even fit with the team very well, but the Thunder are a new team and need a guy to draw in as many fans as possible. Who better to do it than a local guy from a school with some pretty dedicated fans, and possibly their school's best ever player.

Personnally, as far as winning, I don't think Griffin would be the best pick, and I hope they don't take him, but I can't see management not going out of their way to get him.

But then you have 3 of your best prospect as really a 3-4 tweeners.
Durant at SG, Green at sf and Blake at PF...

Well, you can always move green for a real shooting guard. It's just that there aren't any young and good available, if at all...

Yeah, I agree... that's why I just don't think it makes sense for the team... it makes a lot of sense for the OWNERS though... and afterall, they own the team

I know we drafted Westbrook to be our point of the future but what if Rubio declares.Isnt he just too good to pass up.

good point, london. Westbrook slides to sg, durant to sf, & green to pf. We then get D'Antonio and run, run, run RUN!

Without big men ... you are stuck as the golden state warriors....

first round loses......

Thabeet .... all 7-3 would challenge team during practice and help team in games

BadWolf · Post #10 » by **BadWolf** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 6:32 pm

I wouldn't take Rubio, this team needs a scorer at SG, someone to move Durant bck to 3.
A solid big would be nice, Thabeet sounds good, BJ probably eve better.

If we could trade for Monta Ellis

1 Westbrook, Weaver
#2 Ellis, Westbrook
#3 Durant, Green
#4 Petro , DJ White
#5 Thabeet 2009 draft , Swift

Collison could be trade bait with Wilcox

thabeet looks favourite at moment but havent we got thabeet already -SENE. im not sure the front office would take another gamble so high in the draft with a prospect center.thabeet would be the forth in what the last 6 years.Im a firm believer in best player avaliable and if rubio declares and if i had opportunity to draft him its a nobrainer for me.

OKC boy Blake Griffins started the season on fire hes nearly averaging 20-20 a game. can he keep this up? With performances like this could he be wearing a thunder uniform next year. Well at 1-13 were looking pretty good anyway.

If they take another raw C like Thebeet then managment is (Please Use More Appropriate Word). Mullins, Griffin, Rubio, Harden are all good choices right now. Jennings too.
