Numbers are relative to the talent there. If Oladipo gets 20/5/5 while OKC struggles, it doesn't mean much. If he's an integral part of their success while Ibaka flops, then that's obviously hot seat stuff. But I think Ibaka will more than hold his end of the bargain.

He should average around 19-20 this season....but it's preseason fellas...the first game at that. This is basically rec ball just to get the guys in shape and to build a little chemistry.

Anyways...Good sign that Evan's already accepting that lead role because he's the best offensive option we have left on this team. Hope we can actually see our full team in action soon.


I'm really terrified that Oladipo is going to average 20+ Points 5 Rebounds and 5 Assist.

If he blows up in OKC than it would've been the 2nd time Hennigan screwed up on a trade. And the proverbial "Hot Seat" would probably heat up even more.


How can we put that on henny though? We gave Victor every chance to succeed and to be the face of our franchise. Last year was supposed to be that year for him. By a players third year you can usually tell if he's going to be a star or not. We picked Fournier over Victor who's just as good as Victor imo and comes at a cheaper price than Victor will next summer.

If Victor scores 20+ this year so be it but let's see how our end of the deal with Ibaka works out first before we say it puts henny on even more of a hot seat.
