RatkoVarda Posted Tuesday at 04:41 PM Posted Tuesday at 04:41 PM OKC can simply renounce Hartenstein, Dort and K Williams and they will be fine re cap. But I assume Presti is going to make a significant move to keep up with Wemby and the Spurs. Adding 12th and 17th picks, and folding former 1R picks Thomas Sorber and Topic in the rotation, is not what they need. Quote

Adding 12th and 17th picks, and folding former 1R picks Thomas Sorber and Topic in the rotation, is not what they need. Losing those three will not get them out of trouble. It will maybe get them out of the 2nd apron but OKC isn't that concerned with the apron. As a small market team they are more worried about the luxury tax, and that would still leave them about $20 million from getting out of that. IHart will almost certainly be back. Most likely they decline his team option and sign him to a longer, less expensive deal. 2/$40 million, maybe. That saves them $10 million which is like $40 million when you figure luxury tax payments. But if they let IHart go, he would instantly be one of the most sought after free agents on the market. If they did want to move him they would probably pick up his option then trade him, try to find some team with guys who don't have guaranteed contracts. Dort might be gone, but they could do the same thing with him if they wanted. I assume they let him go and Wallace gets a bigger role. I don't see many changes for OKC to be honest. They were in it at the end of game 7 when their all NBA shooting guard only played 55 minutes in the series. His backup only played about 80 minutes. I think they will try to move up for Boozer, but only Utah will listen, and the odds of Utah doing that are very small. If they can't dip out of the tax the summer of 27 or probably 28 is going to look like a yard sale around OKC. No way are they going to pay hundreds of millions a year in luxury tax payments. Quote
Deleterious Posted Tuesday at 10:35 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 10:35 PM I sort of thought Mobley for Giannis made some sense. Someone, I think Sam Amick, reported right after game 7 that OKC has always been interested in Mobley. Quote
Deleterious Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Bam + Giannis is pretty underwhelming IMO. Heat waits patiently for final word as Bucks scan market for Antetokounmpo trade Quote
Deleterious Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago My guy. Nobody picked you up after you were waived by Utah. Pretty sure that is a sign you were ass. Well, that and your 43% TS%. Quote
