The SGA trade rumors have reached an absurd level. And Jake Fisher seems to just be throwing stuff against the wall hoping it will stick at this point

Let's be honest is SGA even positive value at this point?


Of course not, he's about to ask for a max.


Well SGA has the benefit of being totally worth a rookie max. But yeah these SGA rumors are comical at this point.

Obviously that's debatable since he's popping up in trade rumors. If OKC doesn't want to pay him, and they know him better than most, why would anyone else want to pay him. Something has to be up.

Does SGA want out of OKC? Seemed like he wanted a big market when he was drafted.
Can Any of you OKC folks weigh in on this?

I would not be surprised if DET or HOU asked for SGA when OKC offered a boat full of draft picks for the higher picks , but I doubt OKC in fact really did offer him up unless like some think wants out

David Locke seems to think we will resign Mike Conley and pay some tax, but we are going to make some moves to get off some money.

Oh, I know, I figured it was fairly obvious that we were going tongue-in-cheek with these comments since I quote a comment asking if he was a negative contract and I decided to start tossing out all the arguments used by others when discussing why Sexton isn't even worth late 1sts and busts.

Because they see Toronto trading #4 away, or that they are having debates on Suggs/Barnes/Kuminga at #4? I figured the top 4 would be more or less locked in.

I just hopped around to a few different mocks from today and yesterday from moderately reputable sites, and some have Barnes at 4, some Suggs. One had Giddey at 7 and Kuminga at 8. The common thread seems to be everyone is thinking OKC takes Bouknight at 6.

Nah. He’s from the same “network” that claims Evan Massie. If Woj, Shams, Lowe, etc are the Avengers, I think these Massie and Siegel would be part of the Great Lakes Avengers, at best. :dontknow:

This is probably fake as hell, but found this whilst combing the internet for rumors on NBA sites

From what I’m hearing from my source: Lakers, Spurs, Wizards, Warriors, Raptors and 76ers are all in talks for possibly the biggest trade in NBA history the ultimate game changer where the Lakers and Warriors become superteams receiving DeMar DeRozen who may sign the MLE if the Spurs don’t agree to the deal. But they’re agreeing to terms right now to receive a few players they want Beal but are settled on Ben Simmons. Kelly Oubre and Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell most likely or the Spurs who would get possibly Kelly Oubre or Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, THT, Alfonso McKinnie in a sign and trade, all of these in sign and trades.

Trezz only agreed to opt in to be traded to either the Spurs or Raptors along with Dennis Schroder, KCP is now on the chopping block and so is Marc Gasol because the Raptors want him back to take Schroder and Talen Horton Tucker. The plan is Russell Westbrook has been in communication with LeBron that he wants to be a Laker whatever the cost. LeBron tells him that they are looking to put Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozen via sign and trades and Spencer Dinwiddie for the MLE on the team but now Dinwiddie currently is thinking of taking a veteran minimum deal to play with this crazy line up proposed by Russell Westbrook.

LeBron who after his current deal expires plans to re-sign a 3-4 year deal with the Lakers with Davis signing 3+1 deal as well with the Lakers with DeRozen if they can get Westbrook and Lowry via sign and trades that I just mentioned a few sentences ago and Pelinka and Jeanie think they can pull this off and Jeanie is creaming herself over all this: DeRozen taking significantly less money this year the MLE to sign and ring guaranteed chase in a starting line-up after a possible six team trade one of the team’s not mentioned including the 76ers who would send Ben Simmons to either the Spurs or Warriors, Spurs are more likely.

While the Lakers next season have a starting line-up of LeBron, AD, DeRozen who would re-sign in the off-season a 5 year max after taking the MLE this season, Russell Westbrook and Kyle Lowry who would spend the rest of their careers in L.A. signing 4-7 year deals respectively (Lowry signs 4 and after Russ’s 2 years are up he signs 5). Dinwiddie if the Lakers pull this off will take the veteran minimum and be the second option PG, Russ would play SG, DeRozen would play SF, LeBron would be PF, Davis is willing to play C with Cousins as the secondary. If the Lakers can only get 2/3 players especially only Lowry and DeRozen then Dinwiddie takes the MLE himself only saving it for DeRozen.


Reminded me of this :lol:

This is more of a general musing but if (and they likely won’t) but if OKC does want to move on from SGA to keep rebuilding a three teamer of SGA/Kemba to Philly, Simmons/filler to team 3, and rebuilding package from team 3 to OKC would be a great way of addressing a ton of needs for Philly while enabling OKC to get off of the bad Kemba contract.
Rest in peace Mamba. There'll never be another Kobe.

That’s cause we couldn’t move up using SGA as asset .
Like someone mentioned earlier , he’s due a new contract and don’t think anyone mentioned it before, he has injury concern as well.

I mean unless that team is Detroit I don’t know how it could make sense for OKC. I also think you might be hard pressed to find a team that would rather have Simmons than SGA at the moment.
