Here's the thing guys. We cannot forget how much better our core will be just being a year farther along with actual playoff experience going into next year!
Exactly. I think everyone pushing so hard for a Lauri trade underestimates this. J Dub and Chet are still years away from their prime and if they continue to grow year by year then so will the team’s potential as a whole
What a day, Hartenstein was the misssing piece inside. Thunder are in a perfect position, what a roster. Keep doing it the Thunder way, NO Giannis or his goofy brother next summer.
I'm glad to see Presti finally addressing the elephant in the room by signing a solid big man which was blatantly exposed as a need in the Dallas series. Let's remember though that he traded away Sengun who averaged 21/9/5 last year and also Lively who went to Dallas and killed us in that series. Either one of those guys who have been absolutely perfect for this team, especially Sengun who is very talented and will go on to become an all star at some point. Not sure what the hell he was thinking giving those two away.
Sengun is a defensive liability and holds the ball too long on offense which kills our rhythm. We didn't grab Lively cause we needed to give Chet complete room to see who he could be. Lively is also just a lob threat offensively as he doesn't really have a shot outside 10ft
@@ncb0i LMAO Who fucking cares if his defense is subpar he's averaging 21 points and 5 assists. You ever heard of player development?? You put him on that OKC team last year they're absolutely winning a championship. No way in hell anybody beats them.
@@ncb0i No, your weakest link loses you games in the playoffs. OKC lost to the Warriors specifically because of Roberson when they had that 3-1 lead. We lost to Miami in the finals because of Perkins. Both players were excellent defenders but they were the weak link that caused those two series losses. You're wrong.

This news is exciting for us Thunder fans!!! Perfect addition to what we needed last year!!!
Feels like this is the tyson chandler move that shouldve happened for the previous finals squad
OKC LET'S GO FOR GIANNIS, (POINTING AT THE RAFTERS) WE'RE HITTING IT OUT OF THE STADIUM!
I saw someone comment on a post about Caruso being traded asking why everyone is overhyping OKC, and then Presti does this
Holm is where the Hart is
Hes making more now than Brunson is. Make it make sense.

@@joeldriver-sp2rg because defensive liabilities lose you games in the playoffs. Look at Luka vs Boston in the finals

@@joeldriver-sp2rg sengun would have been the weakest link defender. What are you even talking about LOL
Trade Kenny Hustle and 2 firsts for Bobby Portis
