Detroit doesn't need a defense/non-scoring wing, they have thompson. a younger, probably better version of herb.

I would definitely deal Herb for two late firsts. I think he’s the odd man out since the Bey came on. We need to trade him while his value is still pretty high.

Thanks. I’ve been completely off the grid for the past 11 weeks, I’ve barely seen any news.

Pure salary dump. If Atlanta plans to play Dort and Dyson together they will struggle to get 85 points a game.

The big news here is Atlanta has already given up on Risacher.

OKC has become a worse team, I don’t understand what you think is nice about that. They’re taking a step back by trying to skirt as much tax money as possible, you know, the thing everyone cries about the Pelicans doing?

They’ve given away 3 players that played 1/4 of the teams total minutes per game last season for 2nd round picks they’re likely to sell, not sure what’s nice about that.

No OKC did not get worse. They got more assets

https://thunderousintentions.com/okc-thunder-just-landed-biggest-luxury-of-all-by-trading-lu-dort-to-hawks

quote:

Now, though most may be fixated on the three future second-round picks the Thunder netted in return for Dort's services, in truth, the biggest asset attained by OKC and, quite possibly, any team in the exchange is the lucrative $17.7 million trade exception it's now created. Such a luxury, abbreviated as TPE, is given to a team that trades away a player with a certain salary and either brings back someone at a lower salary or for mere draft picks. The exception allows teams to trade for players without sending back matching salary and without having it impact their personal salary cap. With this, the Thunder now essentially have somewhat of a voucher, if you will, that could be used to absorb another player's contract via trade at any point between now and, presumably, the February deadline.


quote:

noted, the Thunder landed three second-round picks in this deal that sent Dort to the Hawks. This offseason alone, when taking both the Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe deals into account, Sam Presti has brought back the rights to seven total second-rounders since the end of their 2026 playoff run. However, the buck doesn't stop just there. With the new CBA, second-round picks have become quite valuable when it comes to keeping a team's payroll down while still having the opportunity of snatching up quality draft prospects. Already, the Thunder have had a ton of success finding diamonds in the rough late in the draft process, with guys like Ajay Mitchell and the recently departed Wiggins serving as highlight examples. With this, it should come as no surprise that, as a result of their wheeling and dealing ways over the years, Oklahoma City has well north of 20 second-round picks coming their way over the next several draft cycles. Talk about planning ahead!





They will be a powerful team for years and years and years and years and years to come.
