Thunder Offseason Thread

[spearsy23]

Wiggins is horrible. Gallo is a good player even though he’s fragile. Robes and Gallo are both expiring. I think they would be a horrible move. We won’t sign Durant and Lebron but we absolutely can sign free agents here, definitely players better than Wiggins.

Anthony Morrow's not walking through that door.

Horford was willing to come here. Melo waived his ntc and George re-signed. We can do better than Wiggins for our expirings.

There have been a few changes since those things occurred.

Currently watching the Heat's Summer League game... just in case.

Can't take anything from it, but what I've seen herro is skilled. Could be a solid bench player long term.

Bazley signed, best player to announce he'll wear number seven today.

None of those changes have made our cap space so worthless that we have to take on one of the worst contacts in the league for free. Throw in okogie or culver an it’s a different story. Using cap space to take on bad contracts for funsies isn’t a good move.

Hey guys, what are some good Thunder insiders on Twitter to keep up with the potential Westbrook trade talk?

The asset is pairing the tax down further and getting out from under roberson's deal. We are not signing a free agent with the upside Wiggins could give you.

None. The thunder don't do insiders, anything you could hear is speculation.

There isn't a Thunder writer I'd bother following. Not their fault, just no organizational leaking going on. Only time anyone ever broke anything OKC related and really newsworthy was the local barber lol.

source?

Can't say. Just don't be surprised.

Ya I’m calling bs on that.

Seconded.

Wiggins is owed around $120 million dollar and our guys are expiring. This is asinine. He’s only a year younger than schroder. There is no upside to Wiggins without assets. He’s sucks. We can agree to disagree on this one.

Presti tightly controls the flow of information, I suspect though I cannot confirm, to exert control over the local media in exchange for favorable coverage. That aside, there is literally no such thing as a local beat reporter here that breaks stories before the team green lights it.

Pretty much. If you want some names in order of who go to for info- Brett Dawson, Erik Horne, Royce Young, Jon Hamm and Maddie Lee.

Its a shame that Katz isn't still here. He was so much better than anyone else before or since.

I agree but why would a reporter that’s any good stay covering the thunder. The better you do your job, the more the organization puts you on the outside,

[mr570]

I like their content. Young and Schlecht usually have something interesting to say. Just signed up for OKC Dream Team podcast and I'll find out about Hamm and Horne (I think he's on it?).

Yeah its no wonder he left. This market sucks plus he probably got a lot more dough and a chance to be closer to his family back on the East coast.

I love Katz, but even he was only good because he's so entertaining.

Royce pumps sunshine, Horne is pretty balanced, and Dawson is extremely upfront about how little anyone knows. It's not really any of their faults, but none of them are worth listening to for any actual insight.

This is this is the sort of mindset that led Presti to surrender a first for Dion Waiters.

Speaking of Wiggins, if I'm reading this correctly, he ranked below such also ran names as Derrick Jones, Jr. and Kelly Oubre in RPM ranking of Small Forwards.
