Honestly, I don’t think OKC needs to make moves rn. What we’re missing is filled once our injuries return. Kendrich is stepping up as we lack backup bigs, Deing showed big flashes of development while IHart was gone and that he still has more room to grow, and our depth is so deep that 3-5 players could be a starter at the 2. And they’re almost all young. We should stick to developing these young players and see who stops growing and 2k our draft picks to keep our depth deep.
I think you're missing something man. This is what I thought to begin the season as well, that we need to keep the roster how it is and not mess with anything. After their loss to the Rockets a few weeks back(and now especially after the Bucks blowout loss) I changed my mind. If this team truly wants to compete with a team like the Celtics they need to be a far more dangerous threat from 3. They dont have enough weapons from out there. Your defense can only protect you for so long, it simply wont work against the Celtics if they arent hitting threes because the Celtics have nearly as elite defense, but far better shooters. Right now its like Jdub(doesnt shoot enough out there), Joe(not reliable enough), and a few potential, decent to really good shooters depedning on the game and team they are facing that day. Simply...not enough. Come playoff time, I guarantee you that will play out on full display. I think they'll make it this year and lose to the Celtics but a guy as elite and on as high volume as Johnson could REALLY help tip the advantage in our favor. But without more threats from three all it takes are a few huge performances from opposing stars and some breakout shooting performances by bench guys and you're screwed if you cant match that ever. They HAVE to imrpove here, end of story.

Disagree completely . This team against Milwaukee pulled what they did in a couple games against Dallas just gave us an F on offense they are capable of that still, love this team, but cam Johnson would be I think between Caruso and Hartenstein in terms of good fit, if Caruso is a B and hartenstein is an A rated acquisition
Cam Johnson, Finney-Smith, Ben Simmons for Joe, Jones, Jaylin Williams, Dort, and a few draft pics. I know no one likes Ben but play him at the 5 and we will be UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
@ThunderDigestYT Chet. I-Hart Cam. Finney-Smith Dieng JduB KWill. Shai. Wiggins Walllace Simmons Caruso. Mitchell Come on man!!!! Simmons play only inside the lane on offense
I really think the upgrade (if any) needs to be in the form of a bench center. Having even more depth in that position to hopefully not end up in a position where Jdub is running the 5 again in a more critical moment would be nice. Wouldn't sell out the wing depth to get it though.
@@ThunderDigestYT I think Jaylin and Chet both make more sense at the 4. Jaylin is a weirder fit because he isn't fast enough to keep up with most modern 4s defensively
Yeah, but with some contracts we currently have (ex. Hartenstein with the last year being a team option), there are ways it works out. Like I said, doubt anything happens until Caruso is extended.
If we do plan on doing this trade we might have to put Joe or Wiggins in that deal and between the 2 of them its hard to pick which one of them do we let go but Im leaning more into putting Wiggs and Ous on that deal even if Joe has been pretty underwhelming he's still one of our best 3pt scores and it doesn't hurt to have Joe and Cam Johnson on the same team. It'll suck to loose wiggs but I think Cam is an upgrade for sure.
The nets got like 5-6 first round picks for mikail bridges. the price might be too high for cameron johnson. can you even afford him next to Shai, J Dub, Chet when the time comes to resign him. Continue internal development, organically. The team's chemistry is at an all time high. Why can't wiggins rediscover his last season's form. I'm still holding out hope alex can rediscover his shooting. I think once chet comes back his gravity will open up opportunities for the rest of the guys.
If they trade Joe, it would be the 2nd biggest mistake the thunder could do. This dude is another Monk. He has the ability to start for 8/9 nba teams…Actually, go ahead and do Isaiah a favor. I know Memphis would love to scoop him up.
Yeah pretty sure most fans would agree with the take that we should not trade Aaron Wiggins or Isiah joe. I love Kenny hustle but I might be willing to part with him but I don’t exactly want to give up draft capital for cam Johnson.
Draft capital is only good if you use it. Look at Boston 8 million firsts and really didn't get one player with them. You don't want to overspend. But you shouldn't under spend either. You never know if a draw pick will work out. A guy already in the NBA you know he's working out.
Unless we get him cheap, I don't think we trade for him. One thing to consider, though, is we have about 3 or more new players coming in next year, so the room will have to be made before then. Anything can happen.
I Like Cam Johnson And DFS Included Too OKC But Honestly We Should Get Nikola Vucevic Or Kelly Olynyk. I Think A Good Package Deal Would Be Ousmane Jieng, Kenny Hustle, And Some Draft Capital
We need either a starting 1 and move SGA to the 2 or a 2 to pair with SGA and move Wallace to the bench cause he does his best work as the primary ball handler off the bench
Crazy. I said 2 years ago that is our future Thunder. But I don't want to lose Wiggs or Joe or Kenny Hustle
They should've just traded for him from the jump instead of getting Caruso.
BRYSON!!!!! Your one of the best digest channels behind Mavs digest, appreciate you for coming on the livestreams. Also cam Johnson coming to the mavs

Dieng will never grow into a decent player on this team, it's time to move on

100%...No real reliable consistent volume three point shooter on this team
Cam Johnson, Finney-Smith, Ben Simmons for Joe, Jones, Jaylin Williams, Dort, and a few draft pics. I know no one likes Ben but play him at the 5 and we will be UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
Hard pass.
@ThunderDigestYT
Chet. I-Hart
Cam. Finney-Smith Dieng
JduB KWill.
Shai. Wiggins Walllace
Simmons Caruso. Mitchell
Come on man!!!! Simmons play only inside the lane on offense

Yeah but we also have 2/3 centers injured
@@ThunderDigestYT I think Jaylin and Chet both make more sense at the 4. Jaylin is a weirder fit because he isn't fast enough to keep up with most modern 4s defensively
Cam Johnson Cap# is 27mil. And 2.5yrs left. Tough deal to make. The funny thing is G.Hayward shot over 50% from 3' w/ us
Yeah, but with some contracts we currently have (ex. Hartenstein with the last year being a team option), there are ways it works out. Like I said, doubt anything happens until Caruso is extended.
What are the status of our injured players? Chet, J. Will,
Honestly have no clue, JWill should be back any day. Wont know more on Chet for a few weeks
If we do plan on doing this trade we might have to put Joe or Wiggins in that deal and between the 2 of them its hard to pick which one of them do we let go but Im leaning more into putting Wiggs and Ous on that deal even if Joe has been pretty underwhelming he's still one of our best 3pt scores and it doesn't hurt to have Joe and Cam Johnson on the same team. It'll suck to loose wiggs but I think Cam is an upgrade for sure.
Do we still do the trade now even with Caruso just getting payed now
Covered that with a new video I’m currently uploading
I feel that the package will be Wiggs, Ousmane, and picks for a player or two
The nets got like 5-6 first round picks for mikail bridges. the price might be too high for cameron johnson. can you even afford him next to Shai, J Dub, Chet when the time comes to resign him.

presti please don't trade joe he's my favorite guy that's the big 3
cam is much better and we more size
Mate. Come on..
@uruser119 I'm all for upgrading but we have players that don't have as big a role
@@Mathewly09 joe is not consistent. Wiggins does not play enough. Dieng is absolutely rubbish.
Go Wiggins or Joe, Dieng, Krich and a pick or two.
Unless we get him cheap, I don't think we trade for him. One thing to consider, though, is we have about 3 or more new players coming in next year, so the room will have to be made before then. Anything can happen.
Leave him where he’s at
Joe, Dieng and a first get it done.
Please Presti make it happen. I hope its Joe and Krich & Dieng
I Like Cam Johnson And DFS Included Too OKC But Honestly We Should Get Nikola Vucevic Or Kelly Olynyk. I Think A Good Package Deal Would Be Ousmane Jieng, Kenny Hustle, And Some Draft Capital
We need either a starting 1 and move SGA to the 2 or a 2 to pair with SGA and move Wallace to the bench cause he does his best work as the primary ball handler off the bench
I would love for us to get him and Trey Murphy
