"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16 KJV
Jesus died for you sins and he loves you, turn from you sin and repent. To give your life to christ confess to him your sins and confess and belive in your heart that he died for your sins and came back to life.
trade up as high as you can every year. if you have 3 firsts one year, bundle all 3 together and get as high as you can. that way, you walk out with a lottery prospect every draft class even though you are a playoff team. it gives you cheap young quality talent that makes you EXTREMELY deep as a team with max contract guys like holmgren and shai leading the way as the stars.
It was never about getting a star. It’s about paying the people you can’t lose and constantly rotating the role players with the draft picks so you aren’t stuck over paying a good role player. Then getting more first round picks with the players you didn’t over pay for.
People like this was hyping okc and now turning on them when not understanding the plan.
Well someone's jealous because the wizards cannot rebuild properly or draft well enough but also don't know to to make trades that will elevate their ceiling/potential long term.
OKC is a dynasty in the making they're continuing what the early 2010s Thunder did not able to do is to compete and contend for title but actually win it as well multiple times those boat load of young assets then war chest of draft picks will come in handy for them in situations.
Example if they have won a title before getting their new arena imagine the fame plus popularity OKC will gain, it will help them tremendously on the financial side while the salary cap will always rise each year as long as the Thunder keep winning especially as a young team they get more national tv coverages to having sold out tickets because the seats are all full since everyone in OKC is gonna love watching them win a lot.
Keep in mind once that new arena comes the Thunder will even get better financially they'll be able to get more sponsors then someday host an all star game in OKC too, their window starts now tho. They need to win with that young core before SGA hits his prime or get a super max contract after 4 years while Chet & JDub are still in rookie deals for 2 years before their extensions kick in and if Giddey is proven innocent they'll have one more year of him being part of that team before they decided to sign him as well to a rookie extension while Wallace still has 4 years left then lastly their sharpshooter in Joe is on a great cheap minimum for 2 more years.
they got until 2026 to make those decisions but the Thunder could certainly keep their core of SGA, JDub, Chet, Giddey, Wallace & Isaiah Joe but it's up to them on how much their willing to give Giddey or will they keep on paying Lu Dort until his contract is up or use him a trade chip, you add in that Poku, Mann then Bertans are not going to probably sticking around for too long with OKC their likely to get traded away sooner as much as they're good talent also individually skilled players they do not fit with the roster.
If players command too much of a high salary/payroll when being extended OKC would easily have the option to pivot into using their draft picks to replace the out going ones.
I don't see this as much of a problem with Presti being a master at drafting, signing & trading I wouldn't doubt mindset of running this team
My take rq I want criticism, my first thought was Julius Randle but Knicks are already so close to contending, what about trading up for my man ja'kobe Walter and using the rest of the picks for tyus Jones???
You say it's overrated I say if they trade for a elite player now they have a window of 2 to 3 chips before paying becomes a serious issue and yeah paying will be an issue but opening uo a championship window like that is worth future money struggles so it is easily not overrated
You sound like a hater. They literally started stocking picks and young players because of the new cba that was gonna be put in place. They were ahead of everone else in the nba in changing the organization to a team that can win young to make way more in the future. But yeah cool short bro. 😂
They can do a lot of things with those picks for instance trade them for different picks years down the line. There is endless options especially when it comes to the mind of Sam Presti

This is dumb as fuck
Winning in all areas isn’t overrated for a team with no rings
Pfft, I’d turn em into KD, JT, and Giannis in 2k tho 😭
trade for uhhh, fucking. spicy p so you have a real power forward next to chet
Well they can free up cap space by releasing Josh Giddey
This “problem” is similar to a billionaires problem of not being able to use most of their money in their lifetime
Bro stop. Its an oncoming influx of talent to show keep the rotation at a high standard. They can keep them all don’t mean u have to play them
Oh no, they have so many first rounds picks, what will they ever do
Then Josh giggity had to ruin his entire career
Trade their future picks for picks more in the future
Im a okc fan but draft picks are overrated
Tell me you know nothing about team building without telling me you know nothing about team building ill wait
This is retarded

The salary problem is real. Just fill out your roster with the best value contracts in the NBA by overpaying with those picks.
prob josh giggity is a more problme off court rn
Why this dude always find a way to say something negative about OKC lol

Top 3 in the west lmao only getting better its first yr after 3 yrs of rebuild relax 😂

Bros gonna be blindsided by a Lauri trade, the picks r for a superstar now, no need to draft anymore
You say it's overrated I say if they trade for a elite player now they have a window of 2 to 3 chips before paying becomes a serious issue and yeah paying will be an issue but opening uo a championship window like that is worth future money struggles so it is easily not overrated
Giddey🦧
Trade for Kawai and PG, give up a ton of pick and J Dub and Giddy and now their a favorite in the West
well there gonna need to replace josh the child fker giddey
I'm certain this guy loves to hate on the thunder, been seeing his stuff for almost 3 years now and always been thunder negative.
A super that can fit their team
Lauri Markaneen no questions asked
So they are too good pretty much 😂
Trade giddey and some picks for Durant.
I'd say get a bunch of great role players
They can simply defer the picks to teams who need a them right now rather than later they can keep pushing them so long as they like

Embiid should be the plan can give up anything not named Chet and Shai
Trade picks for later years picks.
Not overrated at all bro. It gives you leverage/ options to improve the team long term and short term. I’m kinda conyhow you came to this position
