You don’t make brash roster decisions when you were one 30 footer away from making the NBA Finals without your 2nd and 3rd best offensive players. Need to trade Dort. Need to keep iHart. Could use Wiggins along with Dort and the 12 & 17 picks to trade up in the draft. You definitely don’t trade a guy that scored 40 points in the NBA Finals last year. It was just one of those years for Dub. The hamstrings will heal, he’s only 25. You could perk my interest with a Chet trade, but not for 31yo Giannis, who is a proven diva and has gotten multiple coaches fired trying to play GM, and has an injury history. Let’s not forget that Chet is great against 28 other teams and is only 24. Would have to be a LOT in return for Chet. We already know that the Thunder will add an All-NBA player (Dub), an elite PG defender that averaged 20+points a playoff series this year (Ajay), and a first round center (Sorber) to the team that was one 30 footer away from making the NBA Finals. There doesn’t need to be some overhaul.

Just imagine… The Thunder are getting blown out in Game 5 of a 2-2 series, and Shai, (who in the previous series threw a vicious elbow and didn’t even get fined for it), whispers something to Dort and JWill, and they proceed to check in and throw two cheap shots on a key player in garbage time. Now imagine Shai skipping media availability after the biggest loss of the season. What would the discourse be? There’s a double standard with Wemby!
