Exclusive OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: NOVEMBER 2024

Check the box score FAMS!

This makes sense since you don't really watch the games but only look at the box scores.

That's not the full story, fams.

I just watched the game. What were you saying?

[Strenuus]

You think it was HIS fault they lost?

Score 3 more points, Lamelo. It's all his fault. Every loss will be!

Thunder's Chet Holmgren suffers pelvic fracture on hard fall

Evaluated in 8-10 weeks for Chet. ouch.

Evaluated in 8-10 weeks for Chet. ouch.

Well, his perceived fragility was one of the main concerns with him...

so again: would OKC be interested in RoBert Williams?

OKC has so many picks youd think eventually they trade 1 of them.

Or they trade like 8 of them for Giannis.

the Giannis trade may or may not happen and if it does, OKC could be first in line

BUT, OKC would have to match his salary:



Timelord's salary would help....hypothetically

Holmgren may be out till February...or March
Hartenstein probably is out till after Christmas

Caruso + a 1st for Timelord?

then route Caruso's expiring contract to another contender for a couple of 2nds?

This is the kind of injury that people worried about with guys who have Chet’s frame.
First a foot that keeps him out a year. Now another fairly damaging injury.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

so again: would OKC be interested in RoBert Williams?

Fuck off - right now I would trade everyone on the roster BUT Timelord. He's the only one who seems to have a fucking clue.

I imagine, given Hartenstein, they would be very intrigued by Clingan. What kind of package would you consider from them for him?

Bigger question: What kind of short sighted and unrealistic trade scenarios can we come up with involving the Thunder and Blazers rosters!?

I wouldn’t get too attached to him my man. Good as gone.

 

[THE HCP]

They will need a center for sure, but I couldn’t think of a more completely different type of center in the league than those two.

OKC is a contender today, they have no use for a project like Clingan.

Timelord or other veterans make sense.

Once again with the 1st round pick talk…..arent’ their picks useless. Wouldn’t they be the last picks in the round? Or are they positioned from the team they were acquired from? Educate me?

It's not just their own picks. They own 4 years of Clippers picks unprotected or something, as well as Denver picks and Minnesota picks many years from now. There are probably a few other teams picks they own too.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Just this year in the 2025 draft the Thunder potentially have a pick(s) from:

Thunder, Jazz, Heat, 6ers, Clippers, Pistons, Rockets, Wizards

Lots of those are protected but some of them aren't or aren't protected much

 

[blazerkor]

It's not just their own picks. They own 4 years of Clippers picks unprotected or something, as well as Denver picks and Minnesota picks many years from now. There are probably a few other teams picks they own too.

This draft a top 6 protected Philly pick, a top 10 protected Utah pick, a pick from Miami that is lotto protected this draft and unprotected the next (to me Miami seems like a team that could be in the 15 to 20 range this upcoming draft) and those are just the extra picks from the ones you mentioned this upcoming draft.

Wow. Simplest thing is just to show you the picks OKC owns:

 

[Cugel]

When does Hartenstein get back? OKC is in an interesting place now that Chet is out. Legit contenders but need some help now their two best rebounders and rim protectors are gone. I will snoop on their board to see what says they.

On October 17, it was announced that Hartenstein had a non-displaced fracture on his hand and would be "re-evaluated" in 5-6 weeks. So, maybe by Christmas. So, he may miss 15-16 more games, at least. I'm sure OKC wants HCA again so they may be motivated to add another big

I like how you said "wow" like he should know all the pick locations by heart then send him a big ass picture with 20 picks on it.

Said a whole lot about you lol.

Here's what it says about me: that I was surprised at this question: "Or are they positioned from the team they were acquired from?"
If you don't find it surprising that anyone who has been following the NBA for years can ask that question, then I guess that says a lot about you.

I was just wondering if you have acquired a pick ( I understand it is positioned where the team you acquired it from) Was wondering if that reset when that team then trades that pick on)

Suppose we trade our pick to OKC and they trade it to the Bulls. Then we have the third worst record in the league and OKC have the best. (Ignoring lottery) the Bulls would pick #3 not #30.

Not even fair ! 3 frp in this draft if they convey. PHI will most likely but not UTA. But this is why OKC is in a spot of tremendous strength. Yes they will have to pay their young guys but some may leave. BUT they can draft who they like of trade for a star or two.
