Great Klay replacement. Not going to be the same level obviously but still really good wing player.

Oubre is going to cost $80M+ for one season unless they dump some salary to reduce the bill. Good pick up for them but still insane.

Wonder if they'll try to get creative in moving out Wiggins.

Don't see why anyone would want him though.

MOAR PICKS.

Presti is making the process look like child's play. Can't even accuse him of outright tanking either considering they still have a couple decent players on that roster. (Horford, Shai, dort, Gallinari, etc) Just masterful really.

They're probably gonna suck but they won't be legendary level bad like the Sixers were

I wonder if the 2040 1st round pick is in play here?

Edit: Damn, @MMC beat me to it

I know nothing about basketball but it's not a bad idea to hoard picks if you're neither a current contender nor a prime FA destination (presumably they aren't?)

If you put a list of the desirability of NBA cities, OKC probably ranks towards the bottom.

another pick lol

if they hit on like 1/3 of all those picks, they'll be set to contend

If they hit on 1/3 of those picks, they're going to be the most dominant team in history lmao

It helps that NBA teams give away picks like candy. Its more common now in the super team era, but its kind of ironic how often they trade first round picks given they have the shortest draft.

It's funny; NFL draft picks are valued like gold while NBA picks seem to change hands endlessly.

The chance of getting an all-star in the back half of the first round is low and in the second round almost impossible

How many are projected to be in 20+ range? You need to get lucky to hit on those picks.
