Philadelphia ... so much upside ... Unlike a team like the Suns, their young guys are not raw.

sigh

That's what happens when your only homerun is Booker, plus a chance with MF Jackson. Len, Chriss and Bender are various degrees of underwhelming and Warren is the invisible man. This is why we need to suck one more season and nail the '18 draft with a real big man, while moving Bledsoe and Chandler along the way.

Gotta show some patience with Chriss and Bender before we decide whether they were good picks or not. Warren has turned out to be a pretty good player. Ulis was a nice find in the 2nd round. Len has been disappointing, but the Suns have to take some of the blame for misusing him. Booker is promising, but he's a long way away from being a star.

Victor Oladipo can actually sing. The song isn't any good but his voice is much better than you'd expect.

Wow, OKC should be pretty good this year.

Westbrook/Roberson/George/Melo/Adams

Not much of a bench, but they are going to be very interesting

Seems like they should have had that trade done a month ago. Pretty straight forward. Kanter will be interesting in NY, too.

Melo only agreed to have OKC as a team he would waive his no trade clause for yesterday so makes sense I guess. Not surprised Presti would gamble , PG-13 for Dipo n Sabonis and Melo for Enes n McDermott smh lol. How about Enes though , nobody sings Russ and OKC praises as much as him but as we know it's just business

The bench isn't terrible and it's filled with veterans. Besides, they will probably have at least 2 All-Stars on the floor at any given time.

hahaha

Fvcking Presti.

Presti has done a great job, and if the all leave he will have an insane amount of cap space.

Hmm. OKC needs a backup C now. I'd try to interest them in a sign and trade for Len. Give me a lotto protected 1stR and he is yours (I'd try to push for Abrines, but would take Singler too). Chandler makes sense for them too, but his salary is probably too big to extract a 1stR, even if we take Singler.

I was just telling a friend look for Abrines minutes to go up because he was the only person who actually hit 3's in the playoffs. So I can see PG maybe taking Roberson's D assignment for periods so to have shooters on the court so yea I like your idea but I think Thunder gonna want to keep him

I agree OKC would want to keep him (he is not trash), but they don't have a lot of cap flexibility to trade for $13M. The other option would be getting Len to agree to a sign and trade for a contract that fits on OKC's books. Thing is, I don't see Presti trading more 1stR picks to patch backup C. I bet they can get something useful with Singler and two seconds.

At this moment OKC can think to themselves that they have enough shooting (they don't, unless their rookie Terrance Ferguson proves otherwise; I loved McDermott's fit on that team), size (perhaps, Dakari Johnson) and perimeter defense (Jerami Grant?), but I'd have my worries. If I were them, I'd really look into adding to Singler up to a 1stR and fillers and see who is the best player I can get, regardless of age, position and contract.

The Knicks have a lot of bigs now.
