A starting lineup of
Shai/Dort/Dub/Lauri/Chet
Is scary
He also covers a lot of wholes on our team and fits in like a glove he’s a year older then SGA and fits our timeline perfectly.
But regardless of what happens we’re so good rn and will only get better.
“We”? Are you French? Who is “we”?
The Thunder are on 58 win pace. They are already legit contenders. Right now, they have minimum probably a 40% chance against anybody in the West except for a healthy Denver. I don’t want anybody to get injured but it happens. And being in place to swoop in and snatch a finals appearance if that happens isn’t a bad place to be.
The other thing to consider is that Lauri isn’t being shopped. Utah wants him on their team and he seemingly wants to be there. The only way good players get traded in the NBA is if they demand a trade or make it clear they aren’t resigning and their contract is ending. To get Lauri from Utah it would take a dramatic overpay from OKC (Jdub + Dort + Giddy + Several 1rps).
