Isaiah Hartenstein just got $30 million a year from the Thunder. Timofey Mozgov Vibes.

Who stoppin OKC from gettin to finals after Caruso now this? Nuggets just lost KCP, Mavs haven't made no moves and they barely got past OKC shyt coulda gone either way and OKC missed a bunch of open 3. Clips lost PG. OKC a bad matchup for Wolves...

OKC never put elite role players round KD and Russ like they do now besides Serge who they drafted.
OKC Denver Dallas Minny

Denver has regressed. Dallas should still be pretty good. Minny I think got a bit overrated when they beat Denver but they're still good.

OKC should be betting favorites to make it out of the West if everyone is healthy.

Trade a 24/9/5 multiple AS level player so we can keep our C who's never averaged a double double in his career :unimpressed:
Not to mention having Randle on the team had absolutely no bearing on keeping IHart



It's not a miss
They offered the maximum they could they got outbid, there's nothing they can do about that

:snoop:

for the record, I have nothing against Julius Randall, but he is pretty much a volume player, although he puts up good statistical numbers his overall worth as an NBA player is slightly better than mid

The Knicks would’ve been way better off, trading him for expiring contracts to free up money to resign Hartenstein because of my opinion he is much more worthy then JR

They could not free up money to re-sign Hartenstein. They didn't have his Bird rights, they could only offer him their max of 4/72.5(which they did offer him). If they could've offered him OKCs deal I have no doubt they would have.

Yall acting like he starting.. Mans will be backing up Chet and OKC won’t have no fall off in height when Chet goes to the bench
Why wouldn't he start? OKC got completely annihilated by Dallas with their bigs and their other competition in the West(Denver, Minny) would do the same thing. Chet ain't built to do that yet

OKC didn’t have a continuation of height once Chet when to the bench.. they didn’t have any post bangers and that was the problem..

If JWill or Chet don't evolve into reliable second options, I can see them bowing out before the finals again
I do like their roster construction though and I feel like you always need to go all in every year you have a top 5-10 player (which they do)
