OKC has to win a championship soon. The arsenal is simply too strong and they just did everything the right way. They will have earned it though, unlike LAL.

Maybe I am not seeing it with Kuminga, but have never been impressed. He has great athleticism, but not a whole lot else to his game.

Agreed. They have to do it before they can no longer afford all the talent they have accumulated.

If any team is aware of that pressure, it should be OKC given what happened with that Durant-Westbrook-Harden core.

Why I think they're hoarding picks to try to luck into top 5 ones to fill the gaps for the guys they can't afford.

The vast majority of the rest will be rolled over or sold, etc.

He puts up really good lines when he's allowed to play.

So you are saying the league made Dallas trade their future so the Lakers can keep their relevance?

Phoenix is also supposedly listening to deals on Durant. This trade deadline is insane and yet we have trouble moving Ingram. fricking Pelicans.

At this rate we should just reset and try to get as many picks in this draft that we can.

I mean would you? It’s a year too late to trade Ingram.

I've had enough of Ingram, but Griff must be an absolutely horrid salesman if he can't find a single GM to take a 27 year old 6'9" wing that can get you 25 a night. He's doing something wrong.

The problem isn’t Ingram, the problem is the money he wants, and you will start to see that with alot of these players. They’ve gotten accustomed to if you’re a top 75 player you’ll pretty much get a max deal whether that was 25, 30 or 35%,but this new CBA has changed that and teams don’t want to pay anyone outside the top 30 players or so mor than the 25% max money.

If Ingram were to lower his salary demands to around a 25% max, teams would line up for him.

Don't think it would be all that extensive internal discussions about what it would take to get Ingram. Just give us a young guy and a pick.

Obviously Ingram isn’t Kevin Durant, but it shouldn’t be difficult to envision how he would fit and should be used. He’s the closest approximation in the league.
