I know he played garbage minutes last night by the way.

Gotta make the trade. Get what we can get out of him

I fear the ship has sailed on the Poku experiment. He was a swing for the fences and I do think he’s going to end up being a decent bench player for someone, but we’ve got more 1st round picks coming in the next few years. Sam Presti would probably rather give them room to grow than give Poku minutes, and I agree with him.

Poku + Tre + Pick for Caruso

Y’all want to be right about one of these dudes failing soooo bad. Aren’t you embarrassed?

His time in the league might be up I’m afraid

Jaylin Williams knocked out Poku, and shit, that’s on Poku. I type that as I think many of us saw Jaylin as that G-league who may get some rub every once and awhile. He took advantage of JRE and Poku always being injured and now I don’t wanna see the Thunder without J-Will. He does such a damn good job at being where he needs to be and doing what he needs to do. If you see him at the arc you know his man didn’t guard him and he’s taking that 3.
Poku specifically likely won’t cut it in the NBA and it’s because he isn’t that good at one specific thing. He’s not a rim protector like Chet. He’s not a facilitator like Giddey. He’s not a deep slasher like Jalen (who is shocking the hell outta me). He doesn’t have the mid-range. He is the sizzle on the steak but the steak ain’t cooked right.
I think though his meme potential kept him on a high level on the internet. Folks love memes.
Eh, when picking out the lotto, everyone is a high risk/high reward.

This sub has super homerism on our players. They feel that we are savants and Poku and Ous and everyone is going to end up being amazing.
The truth is, everyone drafted has a glimmer and a shot, but that’s far from being even a good role player in the league. That goes for current players as well.
It’s better to be a bit more objective and not get so emotionally invested in players that show signs of not being who we want them to be.

Poku, your mother and I are getting a divorce

We can’t say we didn’t try. He’s been around for a couple years now and still has yet to make his mark while other guys drafter more recently have already stepped up big time (JDub, Chet, Cason, JayWill, etc.)
I hope Poku finds an NBA home but if not, I could see him being a decent player in another league

wow, poku stans are eerily quiet on this post

We knew this was coming for some of our favorite tank commanders. Ill miss Tre Mann too I know his time is drawling to a close. In a perfect world we wouldnt have obscene draft capitol and those guys could forego tryna to become starters and just be the best end of bench in the league. But thats not fair to them and it makes more sense for us to turn our picks into great/elite players.
