A Thunder fan who likes Scott Brooks? :biggums: You're as bad as Durant. Dude needs to get over his man love for Brooks and run the dude out, Thunder are ****ed as long as Brooks is there, unless they can pull off some miraculous trades.. which I don't see happening.

Ennis gone.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Only 2 Fudge picks left. 2 more picks to go. :eek:

[BlazerRed]

I think OKC should take Napier just to piss off the Heat.

[Cowboy Thunder]

I'm definitely getting more excited after reading about this dude.

One guy picked him over Embiid as the best center. Tremendous motor, good rebounder and ball handler for a big guy.

Adams & McGary biotches. Let's put some beef around KD & Westbrook.

Someone has to rebound the YOLO 3 pointers!!!! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Why GMs Should Consider Mitch McGary Over Joel Embiid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILUUOX4mxNU)

[Cowboy Thunder]

Getting closer and closer to #29 :rockon: :rockon:

Lezzz go Presti!!!

[Cocaine80s]

OKC ****ed up with Mitch Mcgary. Shoulda drafted Hairston. They need someone who makes an instant impact.


Mcgary hasnt played in a year and is coming off back surgery....

[JohnFreeman]

:roll:

[russwest0]

Was 100% drafted to be a Nick Collison replacement.

We have Roberson and Lamb who both made big strides this past year as SG prospects along with having Alex Abrines stashed overseas who other teams (like the Jazz) have already tried trading for the rights to. Presti probably sees it as a conflict of interest to draft yet another 2 guard, making for the 4th in the past two years.

[Cowboy Thunder]

I want one of these guys. I'll off myself if Presti can't get one of them.

1. Adreian Payne
2. Cleanthony Early
3. Kyle Anderson
4. Tyler Ennis

2 of these guys still left?

[DMAVS41]

So what the **** are they going to do at sg?

Lamb will be nice, but he's not ready to carry that burden.

They have to get a real player at sg.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Dimwiddie has been the rumor all day

[imdaman99]

Mitch McGary beasted on Michigan's way to the Finals last year. He has offensive game, which their big men are lacking.

Ibaka/Adams/McGary

[VengefulAngel]

How an earth are the Thunder going to get Cleanthony Early with the 29th pick.

We're prolly going to take Spencer Dimwiddie

[Cocaine80s]

lmao i thought you made this guy up:roll:

[imdaman99]

I think they should pick Kyle Anderson. Dude can do it all out there and most importantly, he can create. OKC basically only has 3 guys that can create, WB KD and RJax. I think Kyle Anderson is a little like Boris Diaw, if I recall from watching him in the tourney. I'd love him on the Knicks... but don't think he'll last 6-7 more picks :(

[VengefulAngel]

lmao i thought you made this guy up:roll:


lmao. are you high?

[Cowboy Thunder]

Dimwiddie / Early / Anderson


so excite

[Cowboy Thunder]

We're about to be so fukkin stacked :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[Cowboy Thunder]

Well we got a rebounder and a defensive guy.

Guess that replaces Perk/Collison & Sefalosha.


Simple as that really.

So in other words, there's really no improvements over a team who couldn't do it all last year, and can't do it next season without a major acquisition?

They just help the Spurs and Heat and got no improvements in areas which they need to improve.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Wait and see fellas.

[DMAVS41]

I'll say it again.

They don't need a major improvement. they need a guy like Meeks. That is all.

WB/Reggie
Meeks/Lamb
Durant/Jones
Ibaka/Collison
Adams/Perk

That is the team favored to win the title.

[russwest0]

Lol @ taking another strictly one way player.

It's pretty clear why we drafted him. Just as a guy to go at Durant everyday in practice to keep him "challenged" if thats even possible.

But goddamn Cleanthony Early seems like such a steal this far down here. He likely has a shit IQ but he's an extremely hard worker and absolutely demolished some of these guys that are going ahead of him in the draft

[russwest0]

I'll say it again.

They don't need a major improvement. they need a guy like Meeks. That is all.

WB/Reggie
Meeks/Lamb

Don't put it past Scott Brooks to **** shit up. I'm already expecting the exact same coaching mistakes that happened this year to also take place next year.

[zoom17]

Brutal draft for the thunder.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Brutal draft for the thunder.

Seems as though they got who they wanted?

It isn't about assembling the best group of scorers, it's about having the best team.

[russwest0]

Brutal draft for the thunder.

Yeah just like all of the other years. Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Steven Adams. LOL none of those guys were atop the ESPN experts draft board wtf are these idiots thinking? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[DMAVS41]

Don't put it past Scott Brooks to **** shit up. I'm already expecting the exact same coaching mistakes that happened this year to also take place next year.

That team would have won the title last year.

Brooks was good enough to get that team a title last year. And with Lamb, Jones, and Adams improving by the playoffs this year...they'll be even better.

They just have to figure out a way to find a sg that can play 25 or so minutes per game with Lamb. It shouldn't be this ****ing hard...especially when you had 2 first round picks and Perkins' expiring contract.

Why didn't they just take Hood in case they can't find their guard? Hood/Lamb would be great and it saves them money from having to pay someone to come in.

These teams make so many dumb ****ing mistakes.

[BlazerRed]

I'll say it again.

They don't need a major improvement. they need a guy like Meeks. That is all.

WB/Reggie
Meeks/Lamb
Durant/Jones
Ibaka/Collison
Adams/Perk

Meeks is a pretty major improvement. They didn't make a move to acquire Afflalo when they had the chance, what makes you think they'll go for Meeks?

[russwest0]

I'm not totally sure that an Afflalo trade would have worked out cap wise, but if it would have....

Then Presti is just blind to his own ignorance at this point. Probably the best talent evaluate in the league in regards to drafting but absolutely shit at hiring a head coach and composing a team of two way players that all fit well together

[DMAVS41]

Meeks is a pretty major improvement. They didn't make a move to acquire Afflalo when they had the chance, what makes you think they'll go for Meeks?

Nothing. I have no faith in the Thunder making the right move after this past season when it was so ****ing obvious they had to do something at guard.

I don't know...maybe they learned their lesson?

Who knows...Presti just lost his mind last year.

I loved the Harden deal, but running with Thabo, Fisher, and Butler last year was so ****ing terrible.

You had a 4 million dollar expiring deal in Thabo, a 1 million dollar expiring deal in fisher...and 2 first round picks. And you don't do anything when Afflalo and Meeks are just sitting there?

Jesus...Meeks could have been had for Fisher and a 2nd round pick early on last year I bet. Definitely their 29th pick and Fisher...

And then you have the inside track on signing him.

I don't even care that much, but it just is so infuriating that these teams **** themselves over so often.

[Cowboy Thunder]

FWIW: Serge Ibaka ranked No. 39 player in NBA by ESPN when drafted :rockon:

[dunksby]

Huestis pick is OK could call it even a good one, I think we did well considering the players left at #29. Hope McGary pans out well or land us an adequate trade.

[DMAVS41]

Then Presti is just blind to his own ignorance at this point. Probably the best talent evaluate in the league in regards to drafting but absolutely shit at hiring a head coach and composing a team of two way players that all fit well together

Definitely would have worked.

Thabo 4 million
Fisher 1 million
Jones 1 million

That is 6 million right there.
