    So happy it’s top 2 and had a feeling it was 2 or 3. This great!!!! I’m actually a lot more confident in picking the right guy at #2 then #1. There’s no clear franchise player from what I’ve read and the doubts about Cade. I hope he goes 1st so we can pick the best of the rest :)

    Lol they are already starting with the ….if we keep the pick…” talk. Tilman isn’t trying to be patient. He wants regular season wins to sell ticket. Don’t be surprised if we get back on the mediocrity treadmill!

    Lol Tilman is about to run this franchise further into the ground for a few more regular season wins.

    Tilman will insist on trading #2 + Wall for expiring scrubs.

    When the 20 year old KPJ started, he averaged 17.5 and 7 assists. At 20 yrs old!
    Now the rockets add a 2nd pick to most improved Wood and all rookie team Tate? The tanks were well worth it x 1000.

    Feel like we need a veteran who can score and defend to guide the kids.
    Play in game potential if they stay healthy.

    Since it’s the NBA, I’ll settle for anyone who won’t demand a trade in a few years.

    Just let this sink in for a minute. No matter what your stance is on Mobley and Green, we almost had the 18th pick instead of the 2nd pick. We selected Jalen Green. OKC picked Tre Mann with that pick.

    Jalen Green is going to be a superstar. Losing the pick would have set us back years. Especially considering the future OKC obligations.

    Should make u appreciate green more especially imagine how much it would have sting to giving up the 5th pick for the 18th.

    We also keep next year's pick, right? And what are the details if our picks don't convey to the Thunder? I need to revisit the trade details.
