    42% from 3? Would have been nice to get this guy, but I guess OKC wanted to send him to the East.

    Now this team is just downright embarrassing. It's a slap in the face to the fans

    Now I guess, Dort is high on the pecking order, higher than I thought.

    They would have traded 2 of their 2026 picks away to kick the can down the road if they really wanted to keep him.

    We would rather use our picks on Temu Jalen Brunson

    You know, I have to believe that Oklahoma City did not want to trade with the Rockets. This guy would have been phenomenal on our team offensively and defensively.

    They traded him for no returning salary, we would have had to send out salary to match. Salary dump for OKC

    This. $11m/year is actually pretty significant.

    We can't pretend like every deal that happens could've happened to us instead. We could've never made this trade simply because it was a salary dump and we don't have space. It's that simple.

    They're gonna need to do these salary dumps like every year and their young guys rollover their rookie scale contracts.

    Next season (27-28) Shai gets a $20MM pay bump and Cason Wallace's extension kicks in. Then you have Ajay and McCain. I wouldn't be surprised if Dort is gone after this year or is offered a subpar contract.
