Who would’ve thought a bunch of 20 year olds and a rookie would be this impactful this early on. They don’t make many mistakes that your typical younger players make, especially in close games. It’s crazy Sam Presti has 37 picks in the next 7 years, and their core already looks close to set.

Should OKC even make a trade at this point, or should they just continue to develop what they have? Their only weakness seems to be rebounding.

    They have to make a trade, otherwise they are wasting all those picks.

    Tbh, there title window is a couple years away, so you don’t want to cshs them in yet.

    That being said, if you ignore Denver, the west does look wide open.

    Nuggets play 3 hours before them, so I doubt it, but still possible.

      I think Presti knows that’d be a stupid idea.

      My guess he prioritizes getting the best guys that can fill their roles in the team, and have ridiculously good depth

    We still need solid rebounding before we can consider ourselves real contenders. But everything else has been awesome

    They are probably going to use their draft picks to replace role players who they can’t afford anymore. As some players get too expensive they will replace them with older 4 year college players or trade a few picks to move up when they see an opportunity.

    Still not ready but we look decent! Rotations were on point today it seemed. No experiments from make tonight so we shall see. I think 6th seed is fair.

    Just realized that this is actually false - Nuggets (9-3) play the same day against the Cavs, and the game ends a few hours earlier.

    Mavs (9-4) could also potentially do it, but they’re against a harder opponent in the Kings.
