Tonight, OKC did not receive as many foul calls as usual, and it showed how tough it is for them to win without them.
The Spurs have now forced a best-of-three series against the defending NBA champs, led by Victor Wembanyama.
For the first time this season, the Thunder seem vulnerable, especially with Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell injured.
The Spurs odds are surging to advance to the NBA Finals, likely against the New York Knicks in a legendary matchup.
Unreal.
Also ignoring the fact Scottie has 3 other players demanding the ball and a non 6’9 centre playing with him. Sure, stats show scoring and rebounds but replace them with each other Scottie’s easily putting up JJs 22 & 10 with top tier defence.
Only thing is shooting 3s that Scottie’s worse at
@DjEon95@ShamsCharania Has nothing to do with them tbh. Chet, Jalen Johnson & Duren all had worse seasons. I get Chet from record standpoint ig but even that
@grizzgoatsports Unless ur just going for the picks I think u can get better deal for Allen. Green can be decent with minutes but idk don’t like that package too much
If we can pull both of these off and have
Harden (trade chip)
Merrill (trade chip)
Tyson
Mobley
Sengun
Sheppard
Schroder (trade chip)
Strus (trade chip)
Wade (re-sign)
Salaun
Green
Proctor
Tomlin
Porter Jr
Pick 14
Pick 29
2 picks in the 2027 draft
i'd be happy
Raptors should still be in on trading for Giannis even if the Scottie fit might seem clunky
You just need Giannis if you have to go through Wemby in the Finals
I think best bet are the cheaper riskier stars because worst case we still offload our non great contracts, would unfortunately lose picks, but can prob keep CMB.
Like a kawhi, embiid player.
Book would be nice but he’ll cost more and lesser likely to be moved.
Centre wise Day’Ron sharpe is an easy suggestion.
Guard: not so playmaking base I guess but a Terrence Mann or sexton or Coby white (can only get white by making cap space though)
