What Kyrie & Luka wants vs What Shai & Chet needs - Official (1) OKC Thunder vs. (5) Mavericks Round 2 Thread

[RubioTheCruel]

They could've went after Andre Drummond and wouldn't have cost much. They may have messed up a good chance this year playing a hurt Doncic and somewhat passive Kyrie.

Why they didn’t trade for Gafford is mind boggling. Mavs basically gave up nothing to get him and he’s been quality for them

Any more perma ban bets you wanna take on who's winning the finals or you done doing that after the name change?

I think OKC will settle down. I just don’t know if they have the size to win this series.

They have a million picks. Nothing he did would have compromised their future unless it was something idiotic like trading for Lavine.

It's always been clear that Giddey doesn't fit next to SGA. His shot has never improved. It made no sense to keep biding their time with him. He's not a bad player but he needs the ball and that's not gona happen in OKC.

Presti also facilitated Lively AND Gafford to Dallas. That's a main rival that's also young he helped put together.

They've had a remarkable season but Presti has done things that make no sense and his lack of urgency this season should be scrutinized. They could have won it all this season.

Nobody was touching Giddey this season.

Now I know you don’t watch the NBA regularly, cause that boy is NICE. Believe it or not but not all second year players ball out every game of the playoffs.

I don't disagree I'm just saying staying put was the lower risk because this team hasn't been proven. Chet is their 5 that's what they've decided. They're undersized but they're also depending on 1st and 2nd year players to win a title. In that situation they could've made upgrades but it still would come down to Chet and JDub to be great at a really early part of their career.

He’s young and forcing the issue a bit. Don’t be reactionary to the first quarter. The kid is nice

We gotta get our heads in the game. We've left about 10-12 points on the floor, again.
Dumb ass turnovers.
