The Oklahoma City Thunder Trade Deadline Discussions

Don’t look don’t look guys all right listen don’t look so here’s the deal Dave all right man’ it’s trade deadline day essentially ESS in two days we’re like I mean we’re right there though by tomorrow will’ll be saying it’s you know isn’t it like noon now they changed it

To not be midnight or something like so I I it’s right around the corner so of course people are talking about thunder trades so I mean obviously there’s the one we talked about last time that we agreed it’s not happening so everybody can get over it um but let’s talk about

The other ones the other ones that could happen um first name that comes to mind bons for good reason okay I do think he has two years left on his contract I think he’s more valuable next year as an expiring contract so that’s one of the reasons I

Think that we might keep him I could be wrong about all this information D who are you thinking might be available I know you put a lot more thought into this what’s up moani all right I the reason i’ I’ve put a little bit more thought into this um it’s just

Because I’ve had a lot of time on my hands let’s be honest I’ve been enjoying my my break Mark um and I’ve letting my brain go crazy on the possibility of Trades and what would it take for a trade to happen here in Oklahoma City um

First of all i’ like to call the third the cool 30 million all right so if Sam pre is trying to shave money right now and he’s looking at his cool 30 million you got Berton you got Usman Jen and you got misic right they equal $30 million now you can

You can put in another name blank here or blank there um but you’ve got this $30 million that is really something that you got to circle now why did I put Usman Jang is because a lot of teams are going to want a first rounder from

Oklahoma City which I think Sam is going to be greedy as [ __ ] when it comes comes to its first rounders not trading it but they will take a young asset Usman Jang is a young asset I think he’s due five and a half million or five and a half million someplace

Around there um in salary so and he’s going to sign a longer contract and I think you got to look at usan has a s to10 million um asset on your team so are the Oklahoma City Thunders going to be willing to pay that out that’s up to

Them but the reality is that if you’re going to make a trade you’ve got $30 million that you can play around with that won’t affect you in the long run so how you use that it’s up to you what up Jaden so okay so Jang I still think

Based on what I’ve seen this year like his progression is still is still taking place obviously minutes are hard to come by sure but um and meic has been an asset in games and so has is Jen so um but meic more recently in big games that

I can remember um like but Berton hasn’t has really played much Trey man hasn’t been playing too much is there something like I listen if if you’re going to get rid of players right if you’re gonna get rid of players and it’s just going to be a player trade you’re

Gonna open roster spots for keante Johnson some of these other guys that are playing really well in the G League then sure this is what needs to happen you got to clear some of the deck right bring in a young talented player that’s going to cost you about $30 million a

Year recognizing that that is what you’re about to pay out for these guys you look at Usman Jen you can sign him to what a $40 million you know three year foure deal to keep him in Oklahoma City so you got to look at that in the

In the aspect of what we’re willing to pay out so can we get a young under 27 player that has a salary of 22 to $30 million right and can we find that type of um asset that’s going to come in and and help us out right away um and a lot

Of people will say yes that’s available and for me like there’s very few guys that I would go out after like that okay um now I don’t think that these two players are available but Dante sabonis is one player that that I think that you would you would trade a couple draft

Picks for and give young talented players for and the other guy is the Miami Heat man you look at them and they’re in that disarray moment right so what happens if bam wants out you got to look at that as a legit opportunity to swipe in there and take

Gives assets up do whatever it takes to to get a on player like that that caliber let me ask you this are you thinking this is the time for Sam prey to help reinforce this team to move forward a lot of people think that he should wait do you think this is the

Time for him to do that well this is this is what the discussion is going to continue up until tomorrow at the end of the the trade deadline is because what’s happening and and I put up a um um an article the other day in ESPN um I’ll

Share it again um but it’s talking about with um Bobby Marx and when he goes into grave detail about what’s going to happen with the new CBA and why it’s so important that these teams are shedding some of these contracts right and they have to get rid of some of these high

You know High money because you’re looking at a team like Golden State or whatever that’s paying $400 million this year to keep this team together but next year it’s even worse because of the new way things are going and these teams you just can’t sit here and say that they’re

Not going to try to make a deal and and do something and if okl city is is sitting in a driver’s place to pick up two extra first rounds but they got to give up $30 million you know like why wouldn’t they step in and help out a

Team like that you know like help out a team that they need to get rid of a player and you can swing that player across to blank blank blank you know like the new CBA is going to change everything guys it’s it’s not the typical you know new year when it comes

To the NBA you’re going to be looking at something that’s going to so dramatically impact every single part of the NBA you know Bobby marks you know put puts out there lays it for it it says you want to have a team that sticks together because that’s going to be your most valuable

Asset it is draft picks and a team that sticks together and that’s what Oklahoma City is all about right now so you think it’s more about a CBA situation than like giving this team the ammunition they need to listen if somebody offers us a player

That is going to make us better for the Run and all we have to do is give him $30 million in contract that’s essentially expiring or young asset why would we say no like if if this player is going to help us win a championship and win right

Now and people are trying to dump money like nobody’s business it would be hard for Sam to be like listen this player would cost me two or three first rounders typically but because people are dumping salaries right and left I can get them for two young assets

That aren’t going to play very much for the next two or three years so who are the teams that are about to hit the panic button well that that’s again why is Sam prey is in the driver’s seat how many teams are going to approach Sam at the

Panic button pushing the panic button and approach Sam and say we need to get a deal done we’re willing to pay whatever the cost is to get a deal done so in these situations where Sam would typically have to pay two first rounders for for a

Player you’re going to see Sam take two first rounders to take that player it’s going to be flopped so I think you’re going to see um the Chicago Bulls are obviously in just panic mode I think the Brooklyn Nets are going to be in panic

Mode um I think uh a team like the Blazers I think you’re looking at the Heat or want to shed shed some shed some money because they’re not going to be really playoff Contender this year um I think the um Pelicans are going to be a

Team that needs to shed I also think the golden State Warriors are the biggest team that needs to shed and those moving pieces could land Oklahoma City with a sick deal because they’re going to need a third or fourth team to get these deals done so you’re thinking three to

Four team deal the the elements that go to the team that’s trying to get off money are probably going to be tax relief the elements of the team taking on the most money are probably going to be some sort of like pick package and then there’s GNA be a team that needs to

Facilitate that by taking on extra players sending the picks over and making sure everything just like all the wheels are lubricated right that’s the Thunder and so the Thunder ends up with a guy like Kenny hustle or um a plus two first rounders mind you that the throwing guy remember remember the

Throwing deal whenever we did um we traded Stephen Adams right we ended up with George Hill and Kenny hustle um you know you you end up with these extra guys for being a part of big pack pack ages um a few other guys that we didn’t

End up keeping but so that’s kind of you think that’s how we’re going to do it you don’t think in any way shape or form like we’re trying to fully okay we’re not I I would be I would be shocked if Sam is seeking because here’s the thing

About Sam um he doesn’t like doing trades mid-season typically he just doesn’t if you look at his pedigree in the past he does very few mid trade Seasons uh mid trade players in the during the season so it would have to be a situation where it was literally gifted to us and

And if you think about the new CBA this is the time it happens as a player is just like essentially gifted to you just by helping out you know like that’s that’s what we’re talking about and and and and Oklahoma City is a perfect place for a a

Player that’s like you know that’s a $30 million player that’s not getting the typical love he needs to rebuild his game I to me like there’s few players out there but it I mean we played against I mean honestly if if I’m if I’m looking at it and I’m saying there’s

Couple players that I’m circling right now that would that would be in a big time trade you got to look at some of these young players that came out around the time that Josh giddy came out you’s got to do it Scotty Barnes you got to look at some of these other guys

That they’re teams are rebuilding right now and they need more draft picks and they need more assets they need more this and that than they need some players and I think that what you’re going to see is just a a natural instinction to get rid of some of the

Salary caps and make sure that they can stay under and that’s how Oklahoma City is going to land on a sick deal and it’s going to be land because that person is going to be calling up Sam press to be like please please please please please

And San PR like I don’t like to do mid tra you know Season trades I don’t like to do it you know like and finally if that happens that’s the way he’s going this is not Sam prey picking up the phone call and calling everybody saying here’s my players that are available I’m

Willing to trade two D first round draft picks I mean that is not what’s happening right now it’s just not but in a sense though you may you started out by making an argument that there’s up to 30 million dollar in space of players who are basically non everyday

Rotational players and in doing that you could open up ability to help any team do prettyy much anything anything except for Golden State war warriors getting off of all of their deals you could help them get off of a couple of mistakes but not all their mistakes like that’s you

Bring up a really good point because if I’m sitting there and I’m looking at Andrew Wiggins and I’m Golden State Warriors right Andrew Wiggins is making someplace around $30 million right I’m sitting there saying who’s gonna take $30 million now I’m not a huge Andrew Wiggins fan right but like if Andrew

Wiggins came attached with blank amount of draft picks I would be a huge Andrew wickins fan you know like it would be a much different thing if like we got paid to take on a salary that pretty much matches up with three players that aren’t you know full-time

Players like again we would rehab Andrew Wiggins and trade him in a couple years and all that other stuff but he could we could help him land in Charlotte help him L and Charlotte we we hold on to him for the end of the year until we we are

Able to get where he needs to get my point is that there’s so many things that we can do as a team to allow other teams to get off of the money and we have I think uh 12 or 14 million before we hit the first cap which we’re not

Going to touch we don’t want to we don’t want to [ __ ] around with that but if you think about that that’s how much we have right on top of 30 so we we have a significant amount of room for pay and and it just be a natural move in and yes

We’re going to have to pay you know Josh and you know Chad and Jay dub and all you know all these other guys I get it I totally understand but anything that happens is going to be a two-year deal that we’re bringing on you know it’s just gonna be a player

That’s gonna take two years and then he’s gone and because of that you can look at this roster and you can say yeah there’s $30 million right there yes Berton is an aspiring contract next year but if you take him on he’s you know it’s a $17 million I think it is

So hey you just had the money let’s go let’s go back to the beginning because I gotta admit when you started out by throwing Jang and meic in there I was a little bit annoyed I was like uh okay so that says to me something not about you

But more about how I feel about those players because I really do think that there’s a bright future for those guys do do you still think it’s with the Thunder I think there’s going to be uh what I I I’ve been looking at I circled

Six guys on the Thunder um that I feel like are their backs are against the wall right now and I won’t get into those six guys because I don’t want to be like pointing anybody out but there’s six players that I feel like it’s um

It’s a Do or Die situation for them why is that because our wet dream essentially with this next year’s draft is coming true and let me just explain to you what I mean by that okay guys the Utah Jazz right now are sitting in a

Nice place of 10th place in the West all right so meaning that at this point we’re going to get that pick and it’s going to be someplace between 11 12 or 13 right the Houston Rockets are sitting in ninth place right now now they’re sitting in a place that is quite

Particular about what’s going to happen next right is the Houston Rockets going to all of a sudden lose a couple players and then they’re going to start tanking and then their pick is going to be like well we’re gonna try to get in the bottom five but there’s too far ahead to be

Able to even try that yeah that’s so if they start tanking for any stretch of reason we’re getting their pick so it could end up between six and eight think about that in this next year draft we could still end up with you know 11th pick or 12th pick and the

Sixth pick so with that being said it’s like what else do we need to keep doing we just need to keep on playing shout out alambra for keeping us up to date on on the status if we think about that and we know we have two roster spots coming

Available to us and Sam pre is like we know now what type of players that we need on this team okay those are the two roster spots that need to be opened up before this next season and that’s what I’m saying it’s like if we have an opportunity to do

That we got to take that Keon Johnson hasn’t played in a lot of games and I think that’s that’s the reason that now with 30 was it 32 games left he can play pretty much every game if he needs to so there’s certain aspects of what we’re

Trying to do what we’re trying to build that we have to look at and we have to say is this a legitimate thing can Sam prey say at this moment I need to get this player this player that player yeah he could do I think it’s likely that Sam

Prey is going to go out and seek a trade no but if somebody gives him a deal that he cannot refuse he’s gonna take it because he’s an op op op op whatever you get me what I’m saying optimistic there opportunist opportunist opportunist thank you yes opportunist GM he’s going to take an

Opportunity that presents himself to be able to help his team this year and in the future all right so when you talk about that that gets me pretty excited but I’ll avoid getting too excited about that until we get a little closer to those picks being solidified the

All-Star game is coming up really fast coach D has a chance to coach the allar game he’s out of it Chris fin has yeah Chris Finch has officially um taking it damn yeah dude it was uh it came down to um the last game which was the other

Night where we went to double overtime yeah um and if they won that game then Chris fin was in because it was tied um head-to-head was tied um and then it went down to conference play which they have uh I think they were 23 and and eight or something like that and we’re

24 and 11 over bro yeah so Chris took it over bro so [ __ ] that you know what I got you know what this is what’s even I’m going to I’m going to piss you off you ready for this I’m going to really piss you off all right aunt came out and recently

Just said that coach coach Finch is gonna take out the mid-range game completely out of the All-Star game if you go mid-range he’s gonna go bench get in the game that was a direct strike to Shay bro direct strike to Shay he was letting Shay know if you go to your midrange

Game coach Finch is going to take you out and put me in start jacking up threes man isn’t it doesn’t it piss you off dude like like ant is already out there talking [ __ ] like he’s gonna he deser he’s deserves to be the one starting and

Not Shay like he’s the one that’s making what’s gonna happen next happen you know the thing about thing about the Wolves right is you would think that they’ve done something by now you know what they remind me a lot of right now remember how the Grizzlies were just talking so

Much smack a couple of years ago Dude and they were out there and they were like we are the toast of the Town we’re going to take over the NBA they were acting like the warriors were like like who are you you know what and Klay kept

Being like how many rings you got one two three you know what I mean like the [ __ ] is that dude like now we have to deal with the Wolves talking smack it’s okay it’s okay like we know what they look like now when they think they’re

The Front Runners for the first half of the season dude this is they put a big Target on their back it’s okay I’m not worried about the Wolves at all I know a lot of people are starting to get worried about the Wolves I I said it over and over and over again

Since before the season started there’s nothing about the wolves that intimidates me in a seven game series it is like if you were to go against the 1990s New York Knicks in a modern NBA um seven game series would you really be like oh man this team is just killer

With you know what they have it’s like no like that team couldn’t keep up with the modern game like the Wolves want to play games in the [ __ ] 80s bro if they have like a 85 to 90 score they call that a good game this is like whatever Chris Finch is an excellent

Coach but other than that like I don’t I really don’t have a lot of yeah I mean I I don’t like they’re not a seven game series team they’re just not like there’s nothing about them the seven game series team and and the only team that they’ll beat in the seven game

Series would be if somehow the Lakers slip into the first round and then they’d be like oh we beat the king like man they probably would talk their way out of that win just like gon say man if there was a team that was going to be

Able to lose in the first round that’s going to be a high ranked in top four I would believe the wolves are going to end up being the top four has to be the Wolves man like let’s just like they’re one player away from being able to be

Complete collaps and if LeBron played against them he would pick on them like a [ __ ] they’re one good coach going up against one good coach from collapsing like the right type of defense against that wolves offense is not going to work and the right type of offense will just torch that defense the

Thing is like insan they’re they’re tough to play against in the NBA schedule but when you get seven games on the team and you’re like we’re gonna just keep on scratching that itch as long as you don’t you know work it like there’s just you can’t run a bunch of

Slow-footed big men out there even Nas Reed is pretty versatile for what he does but like this is this is not that dude Chad made the French big man look dumb last time we played him like Chad brought him out in the perimeter and he just made

Him look lost and I and you say okay but yeah that’s you know that’s because Chad’s so good but you guys got to just stop and just like say that again Chad made the what three time four-time defensive player of the year look [ __ ] stupid out there

Stupid and and and that’s that’s what’s happening like Chad isn’t going to go out there and dominate every single game right now it’s the consistency that happens after your second or third year that we’re going to see cck grow into but what we’re seeing from Chad in

The these times against the wolves and times against you know other teams that that come out ready to play that have big men we’re seeing a step up in a way that we haven’t seen before and as a huge fan I I can’t help but wonder how much better Chad is going to

Be with a player like Jay will that is consistently out there and I want to say this about Jay will huge shout out to um jayen Williams um he has been playing outstanding recently in that I would call that Charles Barkley role like rough tough mean like bodying it up he’s

Getting some blocks like crazy right now um taking the charges still like he’s doing this the dirty work and when he’s lined up next to Chad it’s the most fluent basketball that we play it just is you know like you see chat and Jay will setting screens at the perimeter

They’re wide screens people have trouble getting around them and then we just get people open all the time so you know people are saying well we need this type of big man we need this type of big man no what we need is Jay will to continue to

Develop what we need is Dort to continue to develop and Josh giddy to continue to develop we need these guys to continue develop in our system because if these guys continue to develop in the system it’s not going to be we need this player or that player right it’s it’s the

System has worked its way out we saw what happened when these guys are patience when when uh this team was really good on Fast Break defense in the beginning and then they made it into better defense I think we made last year was a like top um 12 team in and in

Defense last year and then this year’s huge jump to defense like it’s all part of the system is that coach and Sam at the end of the years get together and talk about what their needs are to make the defense better to make the offense better and he goes out and gets those

Players so to me it’s about just trusting the system I know people are saying trade trade trade and we T we open the discussions for trade and that’s what that is guys we want you guys to talk about the trade we want everybody to be in the the discussion

About the trade throwing your your ideas um in the chat it’s all about that guys because this is what Oklahoma City Thunder is all about is sitting down watching and observing what is going on next Josh giddy isn’t going anywhere we can hold to stop with that because joshh

Giddy becomes triple the value he is currently worth right now in the off season so there’s no reason for anybody to say that josh giddy’s on his way out because he’s not I just wish we could all agree on that but I get it everybody’s entitled to their own

Opinions and like I mentioned to you Jay I love you in spite of all the horrible things I’ve I’ve said about you J Dude I still love you what’s Su guys I I’ve said some pretty horrible things about you Jay I still love no you haven’t dude you have not said anything horrible

About Jay just not on the air Dave we just Jay called us out for the longest time man I loved it dude he would just call the [ __ ] out he’s back to talk about how he thinks giddy isn’t a good fit and look I’ve learned to respect his

Opinion because he has been ahead on some things that I didn’t see coming oh yeah this one way ahead I still I respect that that his opinion makes sense in this moment but I like to see things for the way they will be and not necessarily the way they are and with a

Young player who’s his Josh’s age it’s very easy to look at how things are instead of how they can be and the key to to looking how they can be is to look at the the person right like you can’t just look at somebody’s game and say

Their game is who they will always be sure but if you can look at a person you say like they’re Relentless when it comes to work ethic they they’re committed to when it comes to team like that’s when you can believe in somebody I’ve I’ve been listening to a

Number of different podcasts all right young teams podcast okay we’re talking teams like San Antonio Spurs podcast right um we’re going over to um um um Toronto’s podcast you know what they all say what they’re they want Josh giddy what they want is more than anything is

Josh giddy yeah they do they they all say they all whisper it we we want Josh kidy we want Josh kiddy we want Josh kiddy okay take that in context guys if everybody is on the outside saying we want Josh Giddy and Oklahoma City Thunder fans which Twitter’s you full

Of stupid moronic people out there and they’re saying trade trade trade right and everybody else is saying we want Josh we want Josh who’s smart by holding Josh the Twitter people or Sam PR you see what I’m saying like like if everybody’s calling we want Josh do you

Think coaches or Sam pre is getting calls about Josh [ __ ] yeah he is on a daily basis probably people are calling him say hey is Josh available you know just wondering do you think Sam’s saying yeah yeah yeah he’s available or do you think Sam’s saying Hell no he’s not available

Because if he was available every newscast everybody would be talking about it because it would have been leaked already but nothing’s being leaked about it Twitter is full of a cesspool of nastiness there is no proof behind any of it so for me I’m looking at it saying

If Sam pre is gonna trade Josh giddy it has to come at the end of the season next beginning of next season it can’t come before there’s zero reason it should come before but why would you go out and take a $100 bill right take it to a bank and

Say I’m cool with taking I don’t know $30 in exchange for this why would you take a $100 bill and go exchange it for $30 the same price the same dollar I want here’s a $100 bill of American money and I want $30 in exchange for that $100 bill like this is

Just basic Market [ __ ] bro you’re not going to do that the only way people someone’s going to get Josh giddy they’re willing to pay what Josh is worth and if you’re not willing to pay what Josh is worth and they’re moving on Sam’s not caught and talk like there

That means is Josh giddy available hell no no one’s willing to pay what it takes to get Josh giddy so I’ve even seen the Dallas Mavericks they want him like how much sense does that really make for with their team build and like how he would

Fit like like I just think in the end even even Jay said like he thinks Josh gidy might have top five vision of all time and and and that’s why I’m like we can agree on so many things I feel like I feel like we’re just different denomination of the Church of the

Thunder you know what I mean exactly let me put a scenario on for you all right six seconds left in the game sideline out of balance doesn’t matter Baseline the balls out of balance we’ve called timeout and this is going back let’s say the last 35 years all right 35 years of

Hoops who are you going to pull off and put on that sideline or out of balance play three players I can think of right now all right okay I’m thinking Jason kid yep I’m thinking Manu janob I’m thinking Josh kidy good I mean I that’s

Right right at where I was at I mean like there’s I mean I you’d have to go pretty far back but I mean stock be pretty great at the end of Pistol Pete was amazing at it too though like I’ve saw some I’ve saw some plays that he threw

In there but again my point is is that you have to seriously think about the history of the game in order to find a player that is a talented as Josh gitty magic would be pretty great in that spot exactly so you’ve got a small small small legendary group that we would want

For players to throw the ball in that situation and you cannot sit here and say that josh gidy wouldn’t be there and and my question to everybody is how much is that worth if Josh giddy all he does is throw the ball in balance and he he the people can score 80% of

The time when he throws the ball in Balance how valuable is that how valuable in in American football is a field goal kicker how valuable is somebody in the NBA that can shoot 90% free throws how valuable is it that these players that can close games and

Do these minor things that are so spectacular that you got to stop and say he’s worth it and Josh gidd is one of those guys that he does so many things open court if he’s in the open court I mean there’s nobody that’s going to stop where he’s going like he’s he’s

Redefining how to pass the ball that’s this is shout out to Footy this is what I’m saying too like if he just was a passer he would be worth it but then he goes out and he leads the team in scoring against Charlotte and it’s like

So he’s not just a passer and he’s also one of the best rebounders on the team so he’s not just a passer and it’s like I get it that if you want to be critical of him you can say well the most important skill to have around Shay

Would be perimeter shooting that’s a that’s a very good argument and I don’t disagree with it but to say that no other skill matters around Shay is sort of asine and right to say a 21-year-old who hasn’t figured out his three-point shot but has does other things at an

Elite level won’t ever become a true valuable that’s where I’m like look man you may believe that you’re the biggest thunder fan ever but when you come to the conclusion that we should let go of somebody who has all these skills simply because Hees doesn’t play the game to

Your taste like that’s where I’m just like you’re you’re you’re a fan of the Thunder and as long as they fit your model right you’re not actually like a DieHard fan of the Thunder because a DieHard fan of the Thunder isn’t trying to trade one of the starters for nothing

And what my only [ __ ] point is you see people like Kevin o’ Conor like loudly leaving leading this thing and he’s from an outside media thing and of course of course can you imagine Boston would go crazy crazy for Josh giddy right now like he’s a connector of

Players and and he can run any offense he’s going to go out and he’s going to play for Australia in the Olympics can you imagine Josh in Boston imagine six seconds left with Josh to the B sideline out of balance I mean seriously guys think about that like people would be

Vibing at a whole new level so why can’t Oklahoma City Thunder Twitter fans enjoy him like the rest of us why can’t they it’s let me just put this in the plainest and most simple miserable people and they don’t understand the game because they’ve been LED astray by listening to the wrong

Oklahoma City Thunder media listening to the wrong Oklahoma City Thunder podcast by saying that there is a way to have a perfect team by trading there is a way to have a perfect team by taking Josh giddy out of it and replacing him with a

Big man let me just tell you guys and Sam presy says it the best there’s no easy way to win there’s no easy way to get to the victory you have to pay the toll and Sam prey understands that and if you’re sitting there saying we have

To trade Josh giddy we got to get rid of Josh giddy it’s because you do not understand the concept of one thing patience and that’s not our fault that’s not our fault here in Oklahoma City Oklahoma City the podcast to listen to right here the last storm that’s not our

Fault because we’ve been preaching it since day one you need guys like Josh kiddy you need guys like Chad you need guys like Shay you need guys like JD you need guys like Dort in order to complete a team chemistry A Team guys you just

Don’t want to pull apart and try to make this a Clippers team or you don’t want to pull this team apart and try to make it like the Suns team no [ __ ] no keep your [ __ ] away from us this podcast is only about players that are positive in Oklahoma City and

You can say anything you want anything you want about this team well when push comes to shove you don’t run it you don’t understand it because we don’t understand it and we for sure as [ __ ] don’t run the team but we sit there and we support Sam

Prey because he has the vision to make this team into a championship caliber team and the only way there is by listening to Sam and understanding Sam and Sam tells you guys every single beginning of the Season what the goal is is that season and yet sometimes people

Still can’t get it through their [ __ ] brains that this is the way the Oklahoma City Thunder Run Run the team what makes us different here what makes us our fan base different our listeners different is one [ __ ] thing they’re willing to listen to Sam prey and what he is currently saying at

That very [ __ ] moment and they take him for his word they don’t try to twist his words into something that’s like oh here you go this is what Sam’s saying he’s looking for the greatest team of all time so thus he’s going to trade away everybody to get there

  1. The deadline is now 3PM on Thursday Feb 8th. It use to be midnight but i think its been 3pm for a number of years now. So really, we're just a little over 48 hours away. If Presti already has something cooking. He's not going to wait till Thursday. And history shows that outside of the Perkins trade, he doesn't wait the last few hours to do it.

    We do play the Jazz tonight, so i imagine we may even take a scheduled loss if a trade is coming and players/compensation are still being figured out.

    So i think you guys are right. I don't think we'll have to wait till Thursday. If a trade is coming, it'll be tomorrow.

  2. Lindy waters gotta go can’t believe he’s getting any minutes I think they should go for jaren Jackson jr give up waters bertans and a first

  3. I have gone back over the last 5 years of OKC games and what I have noticed is the change that Josh's impact on the team's attitude and play style has achieved, what he has brought is elite passing skills and a team-first attitude that does not only get his teammates easy shots but brings them into the game, and over time the other players have begun to imitate his passing and team first mentality leading to less selfishness and more team orientated gameplay.

    Josh has had 3 things I believe that have been the main reasons he has at times struggled to find the balance and temperament to improve on last season they are:
    1. Outside issues relating to the young girl and the media pressure surrounding it;
    2. His role in the team with the inclusion of Chet and the new gameplay that has JDub the main playmaker in the second five; and
    3. How the opposition is guarding him this season.

    Given that he is only just 21 and still finding his way in the NBA I see a massive upside to the OKC in continuing his development for a couple more years by this time he will become an outstanding all-around reliable player who will surprise us all.

  4. If they don't let Shai play midrange, fuck that. That's just fucking wrong.
    Just because few to none are doing it like him right now? bullshit.
    He's in the top 10 in the league, period.
    25 years old. Let him play! Let them win.

  5. If we make it deep in the playoffs, without making a Mid Season trade, every single player's value should go up, and we have all our drafts still.
