4 1st rounds picks next year SGA coming up on a SuperMax (5 yrs 345 million) on the table Chet and J.Will coming up probably looking for Max contracts It will be interesting to see what happens I'd bet they trade alot of those picks next year for future picks because they don't need them and probably would have issues paying them soon Rocket River
It's a good problem to have but after winning a championship, it's a fuçking problem! Those are super high value assets that you have absolutely no room for.
If Im the Thunder, Im trading Chet (before he has to get paid) but this comes from someone who hasn't watched a lot of Thunder games. From what I have seen, I am not a fan of his (too soft) but still believe that he holds a lot of value to other teams. I think they could get some good-great veteran(s) to make them even more formidable.
Dort, iHart and Kenrich will be gone next summer. Maybe Isaiah Joe too. That will clear a huge chunk from their payroll.
Agreed. It is hard to pay 3 players max $$$ and still fill out depth, and I'm assuming somebody gives him that bag.
I mean he just had like 4-5 blocks per game in the last Finals games.....not that shabby. I doubt it, mainly because he fills that need and Hartenstein becomes even more costly for a role player. Center is likely still the position of scarcity for them. If healthy, Chet is still one of the best weak side defenders and blockers in the league, and a good enough rebounder plus he is also somewhat good at rim protection as well. I admit the Offense will come and go....
Kenny Hustle isn't paid that much.....he should be staying. Dieng is the one that is gone, he just does not have the intensity, versatile big can still have a market. Somewhat agreed about Dort and Hart.....both are key contributors but could be moved. More Harty than Dort due to him not totally being the heart and soul of the team.
Additionally I could also see Joe and Wiggins being moved, Wiggins because he can do it all.....can fit on any team. Defensively both Joe and Wiggs are trying but they don't have the same defensive integrity of a Cason Wallace, Lu Dort or Alex Caruso. He is a good character but soft spoken at most times and more of a quiet guy......that can be something that could be expendable although like him to death as a role player. I think it would take on a toll on me watching him leave to a much lesser team.
