The problem is Sam Presti is notorious for maximizing the value of his roster. He doesn't even let players hit restricted free agency, never mind free agency and given the salary situation we have right now with Chet and J Dub both set for max extensions or even supermax extensions next season, adding a third guy like Ingram or Markkanen who will also want a max extension next summer would be salary suicide. We'd be adding 80 million to the payroll at least. I think it would be better to go after Trey Murphy instead of Ingram. We don't need a forth star we just need a forth option and he's got all the skills needed to be a great 4 for us.
@@Darealmenxce yeah I’m sure that has something to do with it 😂 when you lose one of the best players ever in his prime for zero you say “never again!” 😂
I think okc should go after lauri. Having 2 7 footers will help chet out with rebounding and both can stretch the floor. (I also am bias because I want ihart to stay with the knicks lol)
Building a "dynasty" on the clickbait is a lil exaggerated. The West is very competitive and the teams on the top are as talented but more experienced than the Thunder. I am sure they will do very well in the regular season but the postseason is a different beast. The Mavs beat them conveniently this postseason. Wait until they go to the Finals a few times and win at least one chip before we throw the word "dynasty" around. Plus Boston in the East will be the favorites the next 3-5 years versus any East team. We shall see tho.
i think they should try to trade for Lauri, but they would need to give up a LOT. Lauri is the Jazz's best player, he is there franchise right now. Jazz want picks, especially in 2025 draft. I say lauri for 2 first round picks in 2025 (one being the highest okc owns) one pick in 2026, and a player to replace lauri like big jaylin williams
Yeah they’re looking for a Rudy Gobert type haul as well as a young star potential player. It’s so high cause they want to keep Markannen but if someone actually offers something like that they most likely take it. Also Markkanen would 100% stay in Utah if the Jazz offer a max. The Jazz are the first team to let him loose and he likes it there
Thunder don’t need better 3 pt shooting. 😂 just because they had a bad stretch in the post season with a bunch of young players. Klay definitely isn’t the answer
And then when they get to playoffs next year you'll say they are not going to win it because they are still young? They need legit veterans that can contribute, kid.
There not gunna move on there draft picks brother unless it’s during the draft so people should stop talking about sending picks for a player that’s just gunna cost to much in cap space ❤
It would be as big a dick move for Presti to go get the one person most to blame for keeping a LO trophy from landing in OKC, klay thompson, as it was a major dick move for kevin durant to abandon the team he couldn't quite get over the hump to go join the team, and especially the person--in klay thompson--that kept kd from a chip so that he could then simply turn around and go get a cupcake championship, the very next season, with the very players and especially the player, klay thompson, who beat him out of a legitimate ring.
Bro, don’t say “they are going to dynasty” They never win a championship or runner up. Plus multiple times and back to back or 4 championships in 10 years etc etc.
Hell no! Seattle had their time, and it ended up being a real lame duck situation down the stretch. They had a team a good 10 years longer than they should've.
Just don't repeat the blast of the past when the young and emerging Thunder of Durant, Westbrook and Harden was busted up. Just wondering why there wasn't an aggresive move toward Clingan. Dare I question Sam Presti -- the best GM in sports? Klay or Buddy...on 2-year deals would be good fits. Love what's happening in OKC.
Markkanen and BI make ZERO sense with the THUNDER! Signing either will cost you Chet or JDub and probably BOTH because of the new CBA. Markkanen is an Allstar that plays for Ainge (Literally the hardest GM in the NBA to make a fair trade with). Markkanen was also TRASH on his 2 previous teams and on the Bulls so much so that they GAVE him away for NOTHING. He only excelled in Utah where they have NOBODY ELSE, never even sniff playoffs, and SUCK! BI isn't a 5 out guy and the Thunder themselves exposed him in the playoffs 6 weeks ago and WAY OVERPAID for what he is. The Thunder just need a starting level- to- high level backup 5 out Big to truly complete this team. They were 1 foul from home court advantage game 7 with Dallas even having there main shooters % half as good as their season % and PJ Washington playing like1996 MJ.
@@t7-nba379 The old CBA was staggered in a way for the Celtics that allowed for 4× $30 million players to play together. Porzingus and Holiday were not the best players on this team yet they got the biggest bag$. Browns $50 million hasn't kicked in yet and Tatums new deal will be stupid higher than that. The Celtics also got great production from the "others" on bargain money. With the new 2nd apron the Celtics are screwed next season and will probably have to get off Porzingus. But that Championship helps some of those money issues. The new CBA is going to change financials greatly and giving SGA the supermax and Chet and JDub first max contracts gives this team a winning foundation for the foreseeable future.
Dude really claimed the Thunder lack size...how tall are they again, across the board? Chet took a huge step forward? How so? His numbers were pedestrian. Especially rebounding. His rebounding numbers are inexcusable. But that has to do with him literally being a toothpick. He HAS to pack on some bulk. He can't rebound.
Who should the OKC Thunder sign this offseason?
Correction: Nicholas Claxton is planning to resign with the Nets so let's mark him off the list!
Hartenstein

Facts
KD legit made that man wanna trade so he won’t be left with nothing😂
@@Darealmenxce yeah I’m sure that has something to do with it 😂 when you lose one of the best players ever in his prime for zero you say “never again!” 😂
Pels ain’t givin up Trey Murphy
They moving Ingram to make room for Trey
All okc needs to do is continue to develop the young core and get a backup big and a big forward to start to move jdub at the 3
I blame the mid season trade lol we shoulda kept the structure. Still a good run tho hope for better next season
I think okc should go after lauri. Having 2 7 footers will help chet out with rebounding and both can stretch the floor. (I also am bias because I want ihart to stay with the knicks lol)
Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 that Ihart returns to the Knicks
A
@@TheChosenOne0118 ??
I agree! Lauri would be a great fit long as we don’t give up J dub, Shai, or Chet! Or Cason, Or Nikola orrr Lu or Caruso lol.
Lauri isn’t going anywhere
This is just a list of players that every team wants 😂

OKC has 15 first round picks, they can afford to lose some. There’s a limited amount of roster spots anyway.

Also Markkanen would 100% stay in Utah if the Jazz offer a max. The Jazz are the first team to let him loose and he likes it there
Ingram is not a good fit, ihart is a great shout though
Hartenstein can't even shoot threes thunder play 5 out offense
I know Dort shut down Ingram...but I think Ingram would thrive playing wit us.
Thunder don’t need better 3 pt shooting. 😂 just because they had a bad stretch in the post season with a bunch of young players. Klay definitely isn’t the answer
This teàm dont need other superstar the only thing they need is a young player and keep on developing those young players
And then when they get to playoffs next year you'll say they are not going to win it because they are still young? They need legit veterans that can contribute, kid.
This is such a well thought out video based off of someone who doesn’t pay attention to okc and what Sam does or says
There not gunna move on there draft picks brother unless it’s during the draft so people should stop talking about sending picks for a player that’s just gunna cost to much in cap space ❤
Brandon Ingram is interesting. I think he could fit the mold but he would obv need to play in the paint more and idk if he's strong enough for that
damn you've been busy
I’m tryna blow up this channel man, gotta put this work in 👨🏽💻
2025 if im not mistaken we have 3 unprotected draft picks. 2025 should be a loaded draft
Good content
Thanks alot man
That thumbnail is disrespectful to Chet!
You think Utah would trade in-division?
This would makes sense, if the salary cap didn’t exist
I dont want to trade for an All Star like Markkanen or KD. Im not insulting JDub & telling youre now our #4 Guy. We need a 4/5 Role player. Thats it
If it puts us closer to being a true contender, JDub will gladly say, "Hell yeah we'll take this guy." LFG!
They should get Patrick Williams
It would be as big a dick move for Presti to go get the one person most to blame for keeping a LO trophy from landing in OKC, klay thompson, as it was a major dick move for kevin durant to abandon the team he couldn't quite get over the hump to go join the team, and especially the person--in klay thompson--that kept kd from a chip so that he could then simply turn around and go get a cupcake championship, the very next season, with the very players and especially the player, klay thompson, who beat him out of a legitimate ring.
Bro, don’t say “they are going to dynasty”
They never win a championship or runner up. Plus multiple times and back to back or 4 championships in 10 years etc etc.
Bro!! We are not building this team in free agency.
The disrespect 😂
I would honestly be very pissed if OKC won a title, because that should have been Seattle’s title
Hell no! Seattle had their time, and it ended up being a real lame duck situation down the stretch. They had a team a good 10 years longer than they should've.
You'll get there keep grinding
Thanks for the kind words
You need to win at least 2 probably 3 ships before talking Dynasty.

Glad they’re out West!

None of those players are good fits okc was never going after clingan

The celtics can afford 5 max contracts so why can't okc afford 4 max guys and bench players on rookie contracts?

Clickbait…avoid
I've seen enough to know that SGA is better than Jordan
Bold claim!
