Sam Presti picked Mark Daigneault & Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to lead the next generation of great Thunder players. how far will they go? How many chips will they stack?

Nice logo!! Still looking good!!
How well do you think Chet match up with the bigger body guys in the league
for me he needs to bulk up some but will that effect his speed agility endurance
Hell ya if they somehow figure out how to make the money work between all the great players I belive in a few back to back championship for sho!!
Ousmane Dieng could be the guy you both are talking about. Fucking hoping so! Thunder up ⛈️
As long as they share the rock I guess they'll be alright
I think the best way to spend our 17 1st rd picks is at the Trade Deadline; always filling a hole w/ a J.Poetl type player. Also if we have a bad contract we can give up 1st rd picks(like Presti did) to exchange contracts.
Mark gritting his teeth for his point
Dave , how much will we sell the Sonics™ name back to Seattle for ?
if there is an expansion team …

NBA2K is the only example I have for what Chet will do for this team. Take this for what you will…
I’m playing my player as a rookie for the thunder and we are the number 1 seed going into the playoffs. JDub kinda sucks because no one projected him to be as good as he is so soon. Basically, my player replaced what JDub is doing for the Thunder this year. But when Chet is out there he’s a tall rebounding and defensive monster out there. He matches up so well with all the bigs because he’s got so much length to him. It’s why the 2K thunder are the 1 seed. Chet puts this team on the path to a championship. He’s also an offensive beast. He can grab boards for putbacks, shoot out on the perimeter, and play make from the point. Obviously, I’m not saying the game translates very well to reality. But the measurements might. And Chet adds so much of what the Thunder are going to need for the future. Height and pure talent.
Sports dynasties are built on the back of sacrifice, guys are going to have to sacrifice money. It's hard to say "Yea I'll take a $20 million pay cut". But the Warriors did it and those guys have what 4 rings? Could've had 6. They'll be remembered forever, and they still made a fuck ton of money. We've seen that these guys are willing to make that sacrifice, I think Giddey, Chet, and J Dub are willing to do that if it means they have the chance to be a part of a legendary team. Obviously this is a best case scenario, but what's wrong with thinking that way?
There are super deep with good players. Real question is anyone other than Shai a star.
So excited about this team. #insamwetrust
I think Tre Mann has the potential to be a stud but he’s gotta get more minutes to develop. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we traded him and then watched him become a star
Getting Giddey at #6 and the NBA world laughed at us. Who’s laughing now 😏
Cant wait to see Chet play.
I love that giddey got drafted to such a young exciting team. It's so easy to keep engaged in the nba from Australia now.
The dude on the left side not sure his name or anything but he's right and he does know what he's talking about..m with how well this team is drafted and out together if they were to get crazy lucky and hit on another pick and they turn out like kawaii or giannis or even if dieng turns into a superstar which they way he's dominating the g league is a legit shot there is know telling how good this team can be… Chet can legit be the best player on this team JDUB is 100% going to be a superstar in this NBA and in my opinion he reminds me of a young kawaii with better passing ability…. Poku can still turn into a superstar or even a star with how much talent he has and how young he still is… You legit can't put a ceiling on this team because they are that talented and young that we still have no idea what the ceiling could be… They could come out next year win 60 games which I honestly think there going to I'm not being sarcastic I think they will be that good next year but they could win 60 games and a championship and I would not be surprised WHAT SO EVER…. That's how good and talented this team is…. AND THERE STILL THE SECOND YOUNGEST TEAM IN NBA HISTORY…. it's literally insane when you realize there that young and playing this well ITS LEGIT NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IM THE NBA… Young teams aren't supposed to win but guess what we are and next year we take over the NBA.
No clue why Lu continues to be left out of the young core. he’s been our third best player all year
