End of an era:
The “Thin Towers” dream is dead.

Farewell legend
I will miss you, Thunder Legend ♥️
Sidenote but have y’all ever seen Poku’s girlfriend? Elite.
Mine?
Rip poku memes
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Clippers legend
The Poku era was so special
I’d pick him up. What the fuck do we have to lose?
This is the OG wemby
Good night sweet prince
He is going to be the one shooting 33/42 from 3 in the series against the Celtics ain’t it?
so they finally ripped off that bandaid
Just fell to my knees at a Braums parking lot
I very much hope we bring him in. He’s got tools, he’s shown flashes, and he’s a full year younger than Jaime Jaquez and Kris Murray, who were first round rookies this year.
Who picks him up? Who even has a slot open or is he just done for the year?
This hurts so bad, yet, I never wanted him to see him on the court ever again. Fly away sweet angel.
Poku leaving truly symbolises the end of the tank era in OKC. Kinda sad. Thanks for the memories Poku
NOOOOOOOOOO
My wife just got me a signed Poku fannypack for Valentine’s day.
worst what-if trade behind the Harden deal Presti may have ever made, considering what we know now:
> The Oklahoma City Thunder has acquired the draft rights to forward Aleksej Pokuševski (selected 17th overall), forward James Johnson and a 2024 second-round draft pick from Minnesota in a three-team trade, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti. Oklahoma City sent guard Ricky Rubio and the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels (selected 28th overall) to Minnesota and the draft rights to Immanuel Quickley (selected 25th overall) to New York.
End of an era
It’s over

I remember watching Poku for the first time in the 2020 preseason at the prompt of this [John Hollinger tweet](https://twitter.com/johnhollinger/status/1337936525498200064):
>If you’re not watching SA-OKC, the Poku experience is glorious. Like a 7-foot, 43-pound J.R. Smith.
Here’s the thread I made about it at the time: https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/kc2itj/hollinger_if_youre_not_watching_saokc_the_poku/
It’s official, it’s the end of the rebuild.
Come to SAS we need more longbois
Just fell to my knees in a Braums.
I think he will stay in the NBA, before his injury he was servable but OKC just are too good now for him to get any minutes.
The Wizards and Spurs will both probably put a waiver claim on him.
Too bad, because I would love to see him make it to Toronto.
Someone pick him up please, I swear he has poptential.
Wild thing is he just turned 22 in December, he’s almost a year younger than Jaime Jacquez.
Good luck on your journey, king. I’ll never forget that awkward photo of you in those wavy glasses.
Troy Weaver rubbing his hands together right now
You could say he was Pokušaoski in the NBA, [🙂 -> 😎](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uW47jWLMiY)
It’s been 4 years? 😮 I thought he was a sophomore
Really hope the Warriors make a run at him. He’d be a very interesting piece that could develop nicely in our system.
Idk what y’all think but to me this immediately screams grizzlies
Nothing to lose, sign him for the rest of the year and play him heavy minutes, see if there’s anything there
He wasn’t a bad player last year he just cannot stay healthy
Did we ever get to see a Thin Towers lineup?
