The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Yep, you're the king of "We'll see, should be fun."

LOL.

Well I can guarantee you one thing. They will either trade him, or they won’t.

The good news for them is unlike the sixers they have max cap space and guys with small cap holds

Grimes and the Italian dude

And the jazz got what they wanted…not giving their pick to the thunder (why do teams donate picks to them for nothing?)

Yea will be interesting to see what they do with it. I'm hoping they are smart and don't sign guys like Tobias or Klay.

Everyone wants to be able to say they were part of building the Thunder. Really can’t blame them.

That's called straddling the fence. Don't chafe your nuggets.

LOL.

That’s called being in an unbelievably good situation is what that is.

Watching recorded episodes of Diners, Driveins and Dives.....

Starting to get hungry.

Wouldn’t that be funny?

You updating the predict the over/under thread or waiting till the end of the season?

I figured I would wait because no one is clamoring for it but I guess I should in case we have a close race to follow. Stand by.

 

[tlance]

Yup that’s the truth. Giddey playing so well gives them a chance to trade him and push the clock back a year. It’s unreal how well the guy is playing, he is flat out abusing smaller guards and pretty much all guards are smaller than him.

You might not want to push the clock though.

Make a couple good off season role Player signings and this team can win next year.

I don’t know man.

There has to be an option C somewhere.

My thought process is a big upgrade for the next 1-3 years, then you just don’t pay him and use that money on your rookie extensions

Prison?

Tobias is fine.

You aren’t getting stars to sign with that dumpster fire now.

Your title teams need Cade and ivey making massive leaps

Harris is a 3/4 on a title team

Title?

If they'd not got screwed last lottery maybe lol

I was thinking more using that space via trade. We will see. They gotta get lucky as shit this draft. If Cody Williams could be a poor man's Jalen or something lol

I think that is likely what Presti does, I don’t think Giddey will freak out by not being extended right away.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Don’t you think I know that lol? He’s extension eligible after this season and may be traded to someone that will give him a bag.

Hear me out… why not extend him and then trade him. You get to pump up the potential cap total for the team. OKC have spent at the luxury level before.

Yeah, he only makes a little over 8 mill next season on that team option. Who are you getting back for that?

Would have to package another player or 2 in the deal. Which is possible I guess since they have a bunch of picks.

And they haven’t really seen what the playoffs look like yet with this group. Maybe that changes the assessment of the Giddey fit with the group, either good or bad.
