Where does OKC go from here?

[MikelArteta]

Just run it back

They a young team that will be better

Shai, jalen williams are core centerpieces clearly, they will carry a team far when healthy

Chet was exposed, he needs to continue adding muscle

Dort, the other jalen williams, and the rest of the bench are good enough not to replace per se, but they talking about possibly bringing back KD. If that opportunity arises, it's hard not to get rid of those guys for him. Only way I'd let him join though is if I can give up only the bare minimum

Chet was basically a rookie and hes just 22

 

[Street Knowledge]

nothing to big but oh reactionary coli

thunder have cap space, hayward, gay, pokusevski, are all off the cap. Maybe just sign a few vets and that's about it. You have a MVP candidate in SHAI and a great young big in CHET, and a talented sf in jalen williams

just wait, but this is the coli, nikkaz would have them trading for old ass kevin durant or paul george

You can make the case they will never have a path as easy to the WCF as they did this year. First round best played on the opposing team didn’t play and hobbled Luka round 2

We know

Still exposed

They compared him to wemby but theres levels between them

You're assuming that Wemby wouldn't have been exposed in the playoffs as well.

The regular season and playoffs are two separate entities.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that if they swapped places wemby wouldve been the more impactful player between the 2

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

They just gotta go play.They just gotta go play basketball.

We don't know that because we see young bigs get overwhelmed their first few playoff series all the time and there's no guarantee Wemby wouldn't have ran into the same issues that other ones have. I don't care how he performed in the regular season as it's no guarantee.

It takes time.

 

[malbaker86]

Stay the course and hope Chet takes that leap

Either way I said what I said, he was exposed and needs to continue adding muscle

 

[Shadow King]

This team average age is like 20.

They simply have to wait/earn a couple more stripes.

 

[42 Monks]

Either way I said what I said, he was exposed and needs to continue adding muscle

how do you get exposed for being a rookie who's inherently going to add weight and strength simply with age

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Either way I said what I said, he was exposed and needs to continue adding muscle

And that still doesn't change that he's only 22 and his first regular and post season.

Y'all keep forgetting that it takes bigs years out here to find their footing and become who they need to be, which is no different than other young players y'all try to clown about it as well

coi brehs would prob trade chet holmgren for clint capela

 

[Regular Developer]

You think one of the Cleveland guards would work in this lineup, or are you guys strictly thinking bigs?

Y'all acting like I said trade him, the thread title is "where does OKC go from here"

I said he was exposed, which he was, rookie or not, he needs to add muscle to be useful to the team

I don't understand the problem with what I'm saying if the thread is called "where does OKC go from here"
