The 2023-2024 NBA Season

That’s the thing, the core in the OKC is going to be Shai, Chet and Jdub. That is not changing.

J Dub and Chet both have 2 years before RFA so it would make sense to add a high contract guy in the meantime no? Deal Giddey obviously.

Could happen I guess, I just don’t see Presti making a huge splash though. He will look for a guy that fits in on and off the court. Garland is not needed on this team.

Continuing to eat bad deals for picks you won't use is over. Spend that cap space on a push for the next 2 years imo.

KAT from a contract sense is rough but if he didn't fit you have picks to deal.

Don't be Danny Ainge Celtics and completely botch all those picks.

The worst luck as the fluke Sacto year and Memphis moving up for ja

Ruined those picks

Garland for Giddey and 2 1sts

Garland is worth 2 1st's but Ingram is only worth 1?

Ingram is the better player.

Sorry man lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Garland for Giddey and 2 1sts

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Thunder won’t be getting smaller in the backcourt

I think the more important point, gonna need a hell of a lot more than Kiddey

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Garland is worth 2 1st's but Ingram is only worth 1?

Ingram is the better player.

That's a matter of opinion. But New Orleans is publicly making him available thus the first as well as the volatility of his contract situation.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Garland for Ingram and a first.

Done and done.

If it doesn't work the Cavs can look to move him at the deadline as an expiring for a different piece.

From the other side of things and a fit for Garland. New Orleans and San Antonio make a lot of sense. Can’t find too many destinations for Garland though

2 firsts? Those could be good picks.

I guess I'm way down on Garland especially considering what he costs. I could see the rub being Giddey not being a good outside shooter.

Maybe throw Wallace in there also.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ingram is the better player.

Honestly I am not sure he is worth more but something to factor in. Ingram is coming up on his final year before an extension and NO does not want to pay him $50M/yr + get something in return. So that in itself makes Ingram less valuable than we believe

I just don’t think Garland is the right fit in OKC

100 percent this.

Fortunately I'm not sure a single team in the league would pay Ingram that lol

Keldon Johnson deal?

Yep so his value is easily at his lowest point in his career + he didn’t play well against OKC

 

[Shanemansj13]

Keldon Johnson deal?

Seems like one of the rumors

I don’t think New Orleans makes sense

They still have cj

Again, worse dame/cj situation lol

Towns or Garland wont be on this team, Garland for a basketball fit and Towns for a personality fit. Neither happening. Presti will stick with what he has before he does either of those options.
