Your analysis of Josh Giddey’s rookie season almost sounds like revisionist history. You make it sound like he had a bad rookie year when in reality among rookies he was 7th in points scored, 3rd in rebounds, 1st in assists, and made the all rookie 2nd team. Obviously we know now it didn’t work out in OKC, and who knows if it will in Chicago, but he definitely didn’t have a bad rookie year. If you said “he got off to a promising start, but then didn’t really develop into anything greater than that” then I would agree with you.
As an okc fan i remember like it was yesterday it was the end of the season press conference right before we drafted chet he looked in the camera and said yall are going to be surprised we're done losing and man was he right
as a thunder fan who has been here before, during, and after the rebuid, this is THE BEST okc video on youtube, your research is incredible!! thunder up!!
Rashard Lewis was traded to the Magic for a trade exception. Sonics sent the trade exception to Phoenix for Kurt Thomas and a first round pick in 2008 and 2010. The 2008 pick turned out to be Serge Ibaka. In 2016, Thunder traded Ibaka for Domantas Sabonis and Victor Oladipo which then was traded for Paul George to Indiana. Finally, George was traded to the Clippers for Danilo Gallinari, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, L.A.'s first round picks in 2022, 2024, and 2026, along with 2021 and 2023 picks via Miami, and pick swaps in 2023 and 2025. L.A.'s 2022 first round pick turned out to be Jalen Williams and Miami's 2021 pick turned out to be Tre Mann who was a part of the deal in 2024 that was sent to Charlotte for Gordon Hayward who has an expiring contract and it helped clearing cap space the next season which got them their biggest free agent signing in the franchise history in Isaiah Hartenstein. Presti is a genius.
@Alvini_Linguine haha nah it was a great video bro, im just OCD But the Gilgeous part is like gorgeous. "Gil-jus" if that helps at all. Regardless, keep up the amazing work and cant wait for more
@@sarahstockton5780 You are very welcome! Finding out about stuff I never knew about is a fun and I’m very glad to be able to make these videos so others know themselves 🫡. Hope the Thunder can make it happen eventually
This Oklahoma City thunder rebuild was brought to you courtesy of kawhi Leonard😂 This was an amazing rebuild not just with the team but with the coaching staff as well the Oklahoma City thunder head coach had never been a coach in the NBA he was the coach of the Oklahoma City Blue their g league team and now he is the head coach of the thunder and he is one of the best coaches in the NBA and I think he will be with the thunder for a very long time I don't think he's going anywhere and his wife is an assistant gymnastics coach at the University of Oklahoma
Been waiting on this video this rebuild has been amazing to see with my own eyes and I’m so glad my favorite team had turned things around. Thanks for the upload and can’t wait for more videos in the future 🙏🏾
XLENT content bro !! Fun to watch & as a Thunder fan since day 1 …..it had been a massive roller coaster …. Since the rebuild start in 20 …we as fans could tell we were on the right track and knew we had the best GM in all of sports to piece the team back together !! Now as of Dec 24 …. We are going to be if ALL healthy a very very hard out in a 7 game series !!! Man are the Thunder fun to watch …. Youngest team in the league with a ton of draft Capitol ..,.. oh boy is this going to be a fun ride 😎
I never thought the CP3 Thunder would be bottom feeders, Adams, Schroder, Galinari was solid with CP3 at the point. I didn’t expect SGA to be as good that year but I knew he wasn’t a slouch.
As an OKC resident and fan, I'm still convinced Presti has blackmail videos on all the other gm's . He straight up robs people and they are happy about it.
The Thunder are the next coming of the 60’s Celtics. Amazing team building top to bottom, a system that players and coaches both buy into and most of all, their willingness to make the defensive play. Chet and Wemby coming in the way they did really is reminiscent of Bill and Wilt. Bill Russell was drafted into a situation where they were already a championship team. His defense just took them to a level that led to the dominance of that team. I see similar things with Chet. Wemby reminds me of Wilt, big stats, fun to watch, but just doesn’t have the team around him to win consistently. While the Spurs can obviously still recover, they are going to have way less chances Draft wise meanwhile the Thunder will still be stacking. It’s insane tbh
@ Where’s the disrespect? I’m comparing them to one of the brightest up and coming teams. Defensively they’re accomplishing feats only the 60s Cs did. Stay mad? ig 😂
@@JayElDiplee and what is it exactly? A team that hasn’t even made the conference finals is supposed to make me think they’re a dynasty? I can tell yall either don’t like basketball or just started watching because this was literally everyone’s thoughts on KDs Thunder. We need to see results before just giving all the high expectations for a team that hasn’t done anything but be social media stars
@@ndiddy8536 When it first happened I was cool, the duo was primed for something amazing. But the injuries tore down everything that could’ve been great and justified the trade. But that’s life. I’m glad he’s balling, just hate they got JDub off the pick 😂. That right there was a true gut punch.
Let's be honest, if Shai was still on the Clippers his leg would have probably snapped in half or something. The Sterling curse is going to outlive us all.
@@WestCoastCheeseHead No matter how much I wanted to avoid the topic. I had to talk about it eventually. Just like how the eventual Clippers Doc will have me crying like a bitch
The greatest trade heist in NBA history is still Danny Anige against the Brooklyn nets. He got two all NBA players and Marcus Smart a defensive player of the year. They haven't missed the playoffs since any of those players join the team.
Can’t discount the reality of this trade being that the Clippers weren’t really trading for Paul George, they were basically trading for Kawhi Leonard. So if Kawhi gets it done in the end, then the Clippers can still win the trade………if he’s healthy.
Yeah fair lol, still hate how everything turned out at the end. Some of the worst luck I have ever seen when it came to health and HOW they got injured.
@@Poaf-1 show me anyone who thought SGA would be a top 5 player coming out the draft. Y’all act like SGA was this Luka type player coming out the draft when he was a throw in essentially
@@Alvini_Linguine it's telling how many drafted players that would have helped them were traded. McBride, McDaniels, Şengün, Lively. All would have helped them. If they didn't nail it with drafting Cher and Williams one would have to talk about how despite hoarding that many picks the overall drafting hasn't been very good.
@@bnb6868the drafting has been great lively isn’t able to guard switch outs or stretch the floor or self create hence why OKC didn’t keep him, Şengün is a poor floor spacer and a below average defender hence why they traded him and don’t forget we also hit on AJ Mitchell, Cason Wallace and J Will so your statement is completely wrong
Nah sengun wouldn’t work in okc due to how okc likes to play plus sengun is best with the ball in his hands that doesn’t work with a guy like shai who mainly plays in isolation plus if okc gir sengun we wouldn’t have gotten Chet For the derick lively comment okc was never drafting lively they drafted him for the mavs the mavs agree to the trade because they wanted to get off of bertans contract either way okc wasn’t drafting lively he doesn’t fit okc at all I’m what they look when drafting
I still can’t believe he got Giddey but I can understand it to an extent. I guess he saw Shai as a SG at the time but as soon as he got him Shai turned into a playmaker also making Giddey almost obsolete from day 1. But him putting so much stock from him playing in Aussie land was pretty funny.
Had to look this up. What the fuck 😭. I never knew that was a thing nor remember it being one. Nice one, that’s wild. I love Cade but they made the right choice to reject that. They were that sad about being kicked out the top 3 they were willing to trade Shai. Wow
@ Right right but he was utilized as a Center while Myles played as a stretch big instead. PF TECHNICALLY but he played more like a Center offensively. It was a great duo. Unlike when he has to play PF with Steven Adam and Nerlens Noel who can’t space 😂
Meh, just rename the Clippers at this point. Los Angeles Disappointments, LA Shitters, South California Ambulatory Athletics, Western Conference Wizards, whatever. Overachievers right now, sure, but they’ll wind up tanking and giving other teams better draft picks by the end of the season.
@@mykaelmarshall8204 Hell nah, dude injured PG like a mf a few years ago 😭. Dude is a wild pitbull that needs to be put down at times i swear 😭. That shit made me so mad
@@Alvini_LinguineHe was doin too much against Luka last playoffs. Even as an Okc fan I was like yo someone call a foul on this man. I feel he’s cleaned it up a bit this season.
I haven’t watched the video all the way through and I trust it’s good but the way you say “Gilgeous” got my nerves a little (I’m pretty sure it’s Gill Juhss)
Why is this trade so loved when the Celtic’s trade actually got them a ring? I love the Thunder’s roster but they have two years max before the big contracts come and all this depth is gone. And why are people acting as if SGA was this high top tier prospect and making it seem like the Clippers traded a Luka type player? Yes the Thunder won the trade and have a great team from it but we need to relax with the hyperbole about the situation when at the time it made sense.
Give it a few more years. The Celtics took almost a decade to get their first chip with the duo. Let’s see if the Thunder take long to get theirs or how many they can get 👀😏
@@Alvini_Linguine I feel you but the Celtics were at least constantly getting to the conference finals and made a finals 6 years after drafting Tatum. I don’t see the Thunder doing that this year
Okc may never win a championship ever. Until then don’t wanna hear greatest trade of all time. Blah blah. How about nets getting 15 picks from KD trade
The differences that made OKC’s tank and rebuild successful where other’s failed is he made a plan and stuck to it. Anybody can trade away assets for picks and tank for draft position, but most get impatient and make mistakes and deviate from the plan. Usually for job security purposes, but the OKC owners had seen Presti do it before with the first rebuild he had a lot of rope. Clearly Presti’s plan wasn’t to just take the best player available or package a bunch of picks to move up in the draft. He had 15 1st round picks in 5 years or whatever that stupid number was and said instead of trying to package the picks to move up in the draft or trade for star players, Presti was going to take 4 or 5 shots every draft on high risk and high reward guys hoping 2 or 3 would pan out instead of drafting a guy that was ready to play right away. The first time around KD was a no brainer at 2, but Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka were drafted higher than most people thought they would. Presti might start trying to package picks to move up or for a star now that he’s got his core, but that wasn’t the plan the first few years.

JDub is Jalen Williams from Santa Clara
Jwill is Jaylin Williams from Arkansas. Little help when talking about the two in the future

He had 15 1st round picks in 5 years or whatever that stupid number was and said instead of trying to package the picks to move up in the draft or trade for star players, Presti was going to take 4 or 5 shots every draft on high risk and high reward guys hoping 2 or 3 would pan out instead of drafting a guy that was ready to play right away. The first time around KD was a no brainer at 2, but Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka were drafted higher than most people thought they would. Presti might start trying to package picks to move up or for a star now that he’s got his core, but that wasn’t the plan the first few years.

Anybody can trade away assets for picks and tank for draft position, but most get impatient and make mistakes and deviate from the plan.
