Sorry to hear bud. I hope you get to feeling better soon.Pray for @Wes Mantooth
At the hospital with the most excruciating pain in my life. Back pain. Got a 60mg shot of Turadol this am. It’s worse since then.
OKC is building around dort. Why would they trade him for yet another draft pick?Pairing him with Rudy on defense seems unfair. He’s just one of those guys that has the ability to stick to his guy and just can’t be screened. I don’t know if the offense ever totally clicks for him but he’s a willing shooter and I think he’s got some potential to improve on that side of the ball. I don’t think they honestly would trade him but I think they should consider it... they’ve done great collecting picks but need the blue chip guys that come from tanking... or they need enough trade chips to force their way into the top three picks.
I gave my reasons... you are right though... he’s much more of a building block than I anticipated. They won’t do the deal I proposed.OKC is building around dort. Why would they trade him for yet another draft pick?
Don't get me wrong, I would love Dort in Utah alongside Don and Rudy. But... good friggin luck. I have been touting Nance years. OPJ or Darius Miles or Gay or Gordon would all be nice pickups if we can swing it.I gave my reasons... you are right though... he’s much more of a building block than I anticipated.

Yeah I was trying to find a young, cheap, productive player that might be had for a future first that would be a lotto scratcher. The idea is that they don’t get to realize the full value of Dort being cheap and good because they are still in tank mode... he will be expensive when they start trying to make the playoffs again. I think Williams and Roby can definitely be had in a deal like that but they are obviously much less sexy.Don't get me wrong, I would love Dort in Utah alongside Don and Rudy.

Ntilikina would be a good signing for a few reasons. Not much to lose giving him a shot if he comes cheap. Don could kickstart his career.Guys we could likely sign relatively cheap who still have value:
-Snell
-JaMychal Green
-Bjelica
Bargain Bin:
-Giles
-Dunn
-Ntlikina
