    Yeah. He likely has done some of those things with the intention of bringing in a ton of young talent. Then to still lose and bring in another high draft pick.
    Do you think the team wants a top 3 pick this year??? Or, do you think the team wants the 12th pick?? They could have played Wall and traded a few players and picks for another good player and got that 12th pick. Again what do you think they are trying to do? It’s not win I can tell you that they want more top draft picks before they start giving picks to the Thunder again in 2024.

    These next two draft picks better be home runs to make up for all the sloppy GMing he's been doing!

    As of right now with the team constructed as it is I would say if you actually want to WIN a game every now and then the starting 5 should look like this:

    P.G. - Schroeder (Actual PG)
    S.G. - Gordon
    S.F. - Wood
    P.F. - Tate
    ..C - Sengun

    Porter, Green, Christopher and Martin come in to beat up on the other teams bench which is what they are more suited for at this point in their development.

    Obviously, we don't want to win right now but with actual GM and coaching management it can be done.

    Grade school level do it!
    I find it hilarious that your snippy insults to a random person online for a question is pretty grade school so I think you would excel at a grade school level breakdown :). Also holding on to house for too long? How many wins did that cost? Do you actually want to play John wall? He also traded for olynyk for the dipo and while signing theis was a mistake, how many wins we getting now and further with olynyk? Simple answer is enough to move out of top 3. Listen I am not saying he is perfect nor am I saying he should not be blamed. I was just inquiring from the poster how his statement can be we have talent and the GM is to blame. That is how conversation works friend. Have a nice day

    I don’t think it’s very hard for a GM to get many young talents when you have many 1st round picks that from Harden trade and tanking.

    Oh I forgot that Stone gave up Allen and LeVert, and got horrible Oladipo here...

    I have never watched the friday all-star games due to piss poor effort. This game is a top 5 of all-star games.

    I agree maybe because there were so many Rockets? Watching Tate battle Melo was infuriating with all the flopping Melo kept getting away with lol.
    They tried to attack Sengun in isolation in the clutch... Those quick guards were dancing on him and Sengun stayed with them on every single move! Big time blocks! I was hyped and then realized wtf it's only the Rookie/Sophomore game...

    This format was great!
    Team Barry was so well built out they showed up to play. Sengun, Tate, Mobley, Okoro that team was fun. Little salty Cade one MVP lol but he was fun nowhere near the best on that team. Also Grant needs to realize Cade is vegan he isn't eating at Floods or whatever lol
