    Everyone thought that Gasol brothers trade would be the most lopsided ever and ended up being a pretty even trade. This isn’t like that, just sharing a memory. Nobody knew how good Marc would become.

    Easily see them making conference finals but it’ll depend who they play to know if they can win a series. Like I don’t think they can beat a team like the Lakers. Just too much veteran vs youth. Even though the lakers don’t seem very good. Players is another animal.

    That's the Hershel Walker trade in basketball.

    They gotta trade for a rebounder. This is the Achilles heal. They are just flat out too small and get killed on the offensive glass sometimes. They also don't get nearly enough offensive rebounds themselves.

    Feels like OKC can almost get whoever they want outside of the top 10 superstars with their treasure trove of picks. Who would complete their team and make them a legit title contender? They already have promising young players who deserve more minutes. I think they should trade Giddey for a better backcourt partner with SGA and a big that can rebound and can compliment Chet.

    Lol wait they can always draft rebounders ....15 first rounders and X many 2nd rounders....

    It took the Rockets 15 games to be one of the best rebounding teams....do you think the NBA is so complicated??

    Looks like the MVP should be a 2-man race, SGA and Jokic. They are tired of Jokic winning every year. So SGA has a good chance.

    I think I need to move SGA up to Superstar status in my rankings.

    Hardly......if you watched the series, PJ Washington, Derrick Jones Jr and to some credit Kyrie were bigger winners.

    Along with Lively and Gafford.

    Probably yes, but it was basically a mismatch and Chet and Jaydub were not ready, they faltered.

    And Giddey was targeted 24/7 .......he was the main culprit.

    Luka had his worst series beside the Boston series where Boston dominated......
