20-21 OKC Thunder Regular Season News

We will see what will happen with Hill/Muscala/Williams but two 2nds for Diallo & Ariza is more than I expected. Bad season because of our lottery odds but can't complain about the trades.

We gonna have a stashed minor league team in Europe with all our seconds.

So we used the Gallo TPE for Leonard and got a new one? Kind of lost

I do wonder if the recent shift towards international players is hoping they’ll be less likely to chase big markets. I dont know if it will work or if maybe it’s just coincidence but I kind of like it.

Presti does have that spurs background.

I also wonder how much the obsession with unskilled athletes was tied to Troy Weaver. He’s the one who wanted Russ and just traded for diallo.

If that’s the case it’ll be interesting to watch a different style of team building. Even when I don’t particularly like Presti’s decisions, they are always interesting. When people talk about being disappointed with Presti, I get it, but as a fan I think there is value in getting to watch the process of a team/business being built. It was maddening being a bulls fan the last decade with gar foreman at the helm.

Should we just use the ducler game threads? I quit creating them because no one really posts but now they few posts we get are split. Any preference from you guys?

So we are really tanking...2-3 weeks too late but better later than never

Still thinking Williams & Muscala could beat this Rockets team

Top five is still doable. I have hope. Kind of.

Sucks. My first game as an official Thunder fan (my Thunder username is pending) and the team is gutted. I guess I’ll get to know the 3rd stringers better. Toronto Long Boi will be back in the next game or two I’m sure. Bazley will return in next couple weeks right?

Why the flip? You going to be a co-clippers/thunder fan or is it a full on switch?

Hard to know on Bazely. Shoulder injuries can be tricky, especially on the shooting shoulder, and they are incentivized to be real cautious with him.

Welcome! I know you are a big SGA fan so I guess that's why u are rooting for us.

Your Clippers are in a pretty good spot...no clue why u changed team :lol:

Gonna take some weeks for Bazley but our medical staff doesn't like to give specific timelines

I’m burned out after 22 years of them torturing me. I don’t enjoy them anymore. Haven’t watched a game for 3 weeks. Full switch, not co

Clippers will choke as usual. Full time switch. Not just rooting. I’m no longer a Clippers fan

I get it. I was close to turning in my Bulls fan card, but I've been a fan since 89. The Thunder have definitely been growing on me since I live in OK. I pay much closer attention to OKC now. If they were playing each other for a championship, I'd probably be rooting for the Thunder. It's much more fun to root for a team with smart management.
