Brutal season coming up for them.

Looks like they could use a Diamond

Sure, but Presti did the process in one season. Can anyone even count how many picks they got this offseason alone in those gazillion trades? It can only get better from here. According to my count OKC got 6 future first round picks and 5 future second round picks in this offseason. Not counting 2020 picks they already drafted or traded.

Man I am dying to see some video of Powell doing things at camp. We gotta see how he moves.

Kevin Durant has some video of him moving around and he looks pretty good. Powell is 3 years younger and is also very athletic which is better than say a Wes Matthews who didn't have a ton of athleticism to start with when he got injured. Wes had average NBA athleticism for sure and used it well for most of his career. The achilles took all of his explosiveness away.

So hopefully Dwight having a very high level of athleticism even at the NBA level will be able to come back strong.

Have you looked at OKCs extra picks?
Most are looking to be in the 20+
Plus the pick swaps may end up being useless if they have one worst records in the league.
Their own picks are the most valuable assets they have going by their roster.

The same thing was said last season. Just saying.... All jokes aside, you're probably right.

I just don't understand why they would match Bogdan. He's Hield insurance and if you can't repair the relationship you trade him in the offseason. The demand is obviously there.

That is pretty telling IMO 

If it were me I would move Hield and move on with Bogi. The contract dump alone would be enough reason to move on. They can be active next year in free agency. 

For some reason I still feel like the Mavs are going to be involved some way some how. I could be wrong but that is how I feel right now at the moment.

Whiteside's D is in midseason form.

That's a good deal, IMO.

I always think Adams is about 5 years older than he actually is.  27 for those interested.

Lakers would be dead last if Giannis has any sense of reality.
PS: Again, I really don't think Giannis will view himself as 2 to Luka if he comes here, he is still considered better player by some margin.

Together they will most likely be a Kareem/Magic duo. No one is really taking anything from the other legacy, actually complement each other

I'm just curious but if AD/Giannis are bad and Luka/Giannis are good, where does KP fit into your assessment?


I think KP is perfect for Giannis, but I think Giannis is bad for KP (he will be 3rd option, K.Love/C.Bosh type of situation)

Both got their playingtime, their ring and their respect. Nobody takes anything away from them. 
And let's be honest. Nobody get's his ring on his own.

Adams is overrated at this point and you can't play him in the playoffs. That being said the Pels just want to make the playoffs so he should be a help to them. People have counted them out but they have a pretty nice roster.

They really have limited options. I guess George Hill would make a lot for sense sending Bev or Lou out and giving Presti another couple of second rounders. Plus another couple of them, once he moves the new aquisition Smile


RE: AROUND the NBA 2020-21: Dec 1 Camp, Dec 22 Tip-Off, 72 game schedule - Kammrath - 11-24-2020

RE: Bam Extension

I am incredibly shocked at this. Everything the Heat did in the offseason up to THAT point was about flexibility next offseason....

WHAT HAPPENED? Why did they suddenly change course and cost themselves $13M in space next offseason?

It feels like moving PG13 is the only real shake up they could do....I would be shocked if they did that.

^ Bam and Giannis have the same agent so maybe they know something.
