I’d be shocked if we don’t get a very generic statement from the league and team tomorrow saying they take the allegations seriously and are undertaking an investigation, leading to Giddey sitting out for the foreseeable.

I always forget if haliburton is one “l” or two. I have to look up Daigneault’s spelling every time (I always forget the “e”)

Chet isn’t jokic. He not gonna keep the ball high and just turn and shoot right over him. He’s more like a 7’1” KD. If it’s not catch and fire, he wants to go triple threat and play like a wing.

Ous isn’t playing like shit cause he’s out of position. His mintues at center aren’t helping, sure. He’s playing a lot better than he did last year, but he’s also still got a long way to go to being a valuable, positive contributor. He’s still far too often unsure what to do on either end, lacks assertiveness and quick decision-making. Can those things be developed with experience? Sure. What’s the likelihood they will? Uhhh… the track record isn’t great but never say never. He still has potential and I hope he hits it.

But, Duren already looked like a stud last year. All I was trying to say that one year in, it’s clear Duren is the better asset, and I’m sure if you asked Sam now with hindsight, he’d agree.

That’s all fine reasoning at the time of the draft. But I was being mocked for suggesting Presti would trade Ous for Duren in a heartbeat, after their rookie seasons. Also, I think it’s crazy to suggest Duren and Chet couldn’t play together. OKC fans are already handwringing at the Ous-at-center minutes and a lot of us are all in favor of a Robert Williams trade.

He looks like a monster for real. During preseason, I suggested that Presti wishes he took Duren instead of Ousmane Dieng and I got shouted down that I was an idiot on r/thunder lol
