If Chicago is looking to blow it up then isn’t this a decent fit for OKC?

Don’t get me wrong about Giddey - I like him. Love watching him pass and his little floaters et al. But until he becomes a legit threat from the arc he’s a liability with SGA, Chet, and JDub.

Is it the age? Contracts? It’s not like OKC doesn’t have trade material.

So why not?

    Zack Lavine feels kinda random. He doesn’t address our biggest issue (rebounding). He’s historically a plus 3P shooter but he’s having a not-great year from deep and with all his injuries it’s reasonable to predict that to continue. And he’s a high usage ‘heliocentric’ type player; not quite to the extent of Shai but he’s also smaller and not very good on defense.

    Idk; the only real thing the trade has going for it for me is that he’s available. Would seem like a panic move. I’m fine traded Giddey if needed but this ain’t it for me (now if Lauri becomes available, let’s talk)
