    THUNDER WERE OBLIGATED FROM THE ONSET, the thunder squad needs to trade everyone, shooting is demoralizing as nobody can put the ball in the hoop except Shai, if they did Shai would be averaging 15-20 assists nightly currently it’s an injustice to his gameplay Sam p better start vetting and scouting and bring in new talent to complement Shai’s ability and talent.

    I agree with the thinking of the Giannis-Ant pair and in the scond list, Giannis- Brunson pair.

    Guys it’s Steph. The off the ball action. Giannis driving. OKC will be confused. I know in my gut.

    Giannis with OKC is not scary at all. To get him, they’d have to give up Jalen/Chet, and likely two of Wiggins/Wallace/Joe/Mitchell. Giannis and SGA also both need the ball in their hands. Thats why him and Dame didn’t work

    You want to break a championship line up just to make a space for Giannis? What are you a retard?

    Health is the main concern with Curry because if he goes down it’s like being on the bucks again 😂
