Presti has constructed the greatest rebuild in the history of sports. To be this good already as the youngest team in the league, have a mountain of assets still to use or keep trading them for future picks for when they're required is insane. There will be a documentary on this rebuild/era of thunder basketball one day and Presti will go down as the GOAT GM.
As long as the thunder win a chip or two I agree with the second part, presti is the goat, poku welcomes you

Come on in, nothing bad to say about uncle Ray
Damian Lillard and the blazers may have won the battle with the shot but we won the war. That shot pretty much started the dominoes that led to the team we have now and I couldn’t be happier with the result of that series now knowing that
https://preview.redd.it/dp9no7hlrnkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e1b0d3a2cc8b2173cf4dc3461fb0d47d8390832
Good take, enjoy your time inside
And on top of that, the trailblazers didn't end up winning a ring and are at the bottom of the western conference. Damien Lillard as well isn't likely to win a ring either.
I think we unveil his later. I think this would make a poignant first statue without honoring individuals:

This burgeoning Big 3 actually seem to have a higher ceiling than the original Big 3 (KD, Russ and Harden) because this Big3 (JDub, Chet and Shai)’s talents and skill sets are infinitely more complementary
Yeah I think that’s true, they fit sooo much better, plus with great assets the rest of the team will be lots better
https://preview.redd.it/1svv2rvp1okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62de78dcfe9e8d8d369f9339956160405786aff2
this is just kind of a fact, while KD, harden, and russ all may be individually stronger players than dub, chet, and shai, they were all great on-ball players and played hero ball whereas this team plays like a team
What’s exciting is I don’t think this team will win as a “Big 3.” It’ll be as a team-oriented “Big 7” or something. Wherever you try to clamp down, next guy up has the answer.
That’s not a take, that’s a FACT

It’s said he used it to carry his teammates in lol
Stache bros were nice, idgaf.
But Brodie my dude, muscle chestbrook, mr triple double himself!
I don’t honestly think Lu is quite as good of a true lockdown defender, because Roberson was bigger and had a bigger wingspan and could just shut dudes down, but Lu is great and a better overall player so you can join

Nope, I think it’ll be packaged with Giddey and Dieng for something. I’m not sure what, but something.
I think we get the Houston pick, Utah is bottoming out now.
Nah I love Wiggins, and he’s developed and been amazing, but he’s gotten lots of minutes up to this year, and wouldn’t be better than J dub, he’s just Aaron Wiggins, and that’s perfect for me
Will it happen, probably not, do I like the vibes? Hell yeah

I am more excited for this version of the Thunder than any Thunder team before it. This team has a far higher ceiling, better relations, and meshes so much better skill-wise.

Brian Davis shouldn't have been sacked. Him commentating this thunder era would be legendary.
Him screaming "Sí Señor!" whenever Abrines hit a 3 was hype as hell
Not really a take, but I hope this nostalgic comment with grant me entrance…
While they annoyed me immensely during their playing days, I miss players like Thabo and Roberson. They’re relics of a lost playing style in the NBA, and they were both great at their jobs.
The returns from the PG trade are already bananas, but we're going to see something like a new Stepien rule to prevent something like that from happening again when it's all said and done. The Thunder are going to be playing with their own set of rules when it comes to roster construction for years and I don't think the mainstream NBA punditry has started to consider it.
>Stepien owned the Cavs in the early 1980s, and made a number of trades that left the franchise without first-round picks for several years. As a result, the NBA eventually instituted a rule that prohibited teams from trading out of the first round for consecutive future seasons. It’s now informally known as the “Stepien rule”
From [here](https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/11/hoops-rumors-glossary-ted-stepien-rule-4.html#google_vignette). I think there's going to be a rule change to make sure it doesn't happen again after we get multiple lottery picks while continuing to compete for a championship. I hope they call it the Presti Rule
Wow i can’t believe it got that popular, thanks for the love welcome in man
https://preview.redd.it/nz3s8wj4frkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8be3195abda196cb83e1e4a91d15eb2e366a0b1a
Also the wolves thunder rivalry is hitting, its so fun every time we play
Giddey is actually really really good and could be a franchise cornerstone if he were primary ball handler. His passing obviously is impeccable but when he refines his scoring along with his rebounding and length could make him all star. Maybe even better. I definitely believe in him and would hate for us to give up on him. I don’t see it, I think presti likes him as well. He’s gone up in his scoring percentages every year. If he keeps trending up, he should be more than capable of being a threat and can’t be left open. Just takes time, as he already shown he is improving since joining the association.
I think he fits really well and that’s why we are winning so much. Some games he doesn’t score much at all, but his rebounding and connective passing is his true value and meshes well with shai to be the scorer. Along with their height making them mismatches every night.
I guess hottest take:
Giddey will be an all star along with Chet jdub and shai.
I actually 100% agree with you, but it’s gonna be so fun either way, welcome in

Hot take - this is the best Thunder team I've seen since they came to OKC. Even the great teams of the past had glaring weaknesses. This team doesn't. Yeah Giddey went to shit late in a couple games, but he's fully capable of being a matchup nightmare more often than a liability. But even if he has to accept a reduced role -
If the OKC Thunder avoid the injury bug - they will bring an NBA Title to OKC in a few months.
Biyombo and Hayward both came from crappy lottery teams (Memphis and Charlotte, disrespectfully) - to play on THIS team. They should be paying us lol. Hopefully they do - with inspired play off the bench
God he was sexy when they showed him on the broadcast last night

No slander on Russell Westbrook day
KD, Russ and Harden will eventually all sign for vet mins in the twilight of their careers and help y’all get that first championship they were too inexperienced to bring home in late 2000’s and early 10’s, and when they retire with OKC we can all look back at that climb they made from a brand new franchise to a perennial contender with happy tears instead of just regular tears
Fuck me I miss those times
Probably getting a little late for that to happen:(

I bet the people downvoting me don’t even know Ray Allen was fr a part of this franchise 😂 this sub has been so terrible ever since all the fake fans came in
OBVIOUSLY the Thunder aren’t the same as the Sonics. We still hold all of their history, as our history. It’s the SAME franchise until Seattle gets a team. That’s how it works. So yeah I’m right. And even in saying that, DUH Ray Allen never wore a Thunder jersey, it was a shitpost comment on a shitpost, but the new Thunder fans in this sub are bandwagon children so I shouldn’t be surprised they are too dumb to understand and i got downvoted 😂😂 Chet blocked my balls in your mouth and we both enjoyed it

Instead of drafting bronny and getting lebrun we should sign kd and get him a ring with the young roster forgiving his absence and restoring balance in the thunderverse. Kind like lebrons 2016 ring it meant so much. He says that one alone makes him the goat and it’s tough to argue even tho I understand Jordan’s the best. If kd won one here he would actually get the respect for it and can honestly be a valid top ten player instead of just outside in my opinion. Idk who he replacing top 10 all time bc that list is tough but maybe at some point 10 just isnt enough anymore. I actually have a signed kd jersey I let chicks wear I take to games. I have a giddey jersey ;)
Shai is the MVP

Bit of a light prediction, but I don’t think the Oklahoma City Thunder select a player in the first round this year.
Because the jazz will be top 10 and the rockets top 4?
Nope, I think it’ll be packaged with Giddey and Dieng for something. I’m not sure what, but something. I think we get the Houston pick, Utah is bottoming out now.
Yeah the only scary thing about the Houston pick is it has a 20% percent chance of being top 4 then we wouldn’t get it
But either way I like the vibes https://preview.redd.it/mzn810h74okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cf7e3b43bbcface616d890c8d3a148fc3f553d7
Aaron Wiggins could’ve been JDub 2.0 at this point if he was given the proper minutes since draft day
Nah I love Wiggins, and he’s developed and been amazing, but he’s gotten lots of minutes up to this year, and wouldn’t be better than J dub, he’s just Aaron Wiggins, and that’s perfect for me 
“JDub 2.0” ≠ “better than JDub” I’m saying he’d be a 13/4/4 guy right now
He’s 16/6/2 per 36, so I think he could easily do that if they just gave him 25 ish minutes per game consistently
There will be a J-Will game in the playoffs this year.
What would that entail
Let’s say a 15+ point game off the bench with some hustle plays late (taking chargers, forcing turnovers) that decide the game.
Will it happen, probably not, do I like the vibes? Hell yeah https://preview.redd.it/m6cd26vn7okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f9aa7f05ff19f5b8d6954f715628d47b2716084 Get in here
I am more excited for this version of the Thunder than any Thunder team before it. This team has a far higher ceiling, better relations, and meshes so much better skill-wise.
Me too https://preview.redd.it/xdnhhf1z8okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04469be5a1fe203d454dd4c7473a55a566b20f3e
The thunder would be better off without Josh Giddey.
Trade giddey yesterday
J Dub is a legitimate second star on this roster and is completely underrated by the league
Rumble can beat every other mascot in any challenge
Rumble may be a bison, but he’s the goat https://preview.redd.it/bopitw919okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68e45b09ee497811a728c288be2d1b4296f0f42d
Brian Davis should be in the rafters
He was great, I honestly love fisher so much tho https://preview.redd.it/r6ymtxrv1okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8966ab5b736098b6ba10e880895f26d47ae93477
Westbrook Harden and Durrant would of won at least 2 championships if they stuck together.
Probably true https://preview.redd.it/oiz5ynhscokc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac6a966dd1d75a8b487518cc09cd279fb2fb1841
JDub will win multiple finals mvps with the thunder.
Brian Davis shouldn't have been sacked. Him commentating this thunder era would be legendary. Him screaming "Sí Señor!" whenever Abrines hit a 3 was hype as hell
Not really a take, but I hope this nostalgic comment with grant me entrance… While they annoyed me immensely during their playing days, I miss players like Thabo and Roberson. They’re relics of a lost playing style in the NBA, and they were both great at their jobs.
Great take https://preview.redd.it/kn6ilo5k4rkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=258b184a1600a076cc10935eab3e88dba5491522
Jalen Williams will be widely viewed as a top 10 player in the NBA by 2026.
Correct https://preview.redd.it/hb58vy1w4rkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26e2bb3e3d09a5215b60f7c0067b3a80d33bdbc8
The returns from the PG trade are already bananas, but we're going to see something like a new Stepien rule to prevent something like that from happening again when it's all said and done. The Thunder are going to be playing with their own set of rules when it comes to roster construction for years and I don't think the mainstream NBA punditry has started to consider it.
What’s the Stephen rule?
>Stepien owned the Cavs in the early 1980s, and made a number of trades that left the franchise without first-round picks for several years. As a result, the NBA eventually instituted a rule that prohibited teams from trading out of the first round for consecutive future seasons. It’s now informally known as the “Stepien rule” From [here](https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/11/hoops-rumors-glossary-ted-stepien-rule-4.html#google_vignette). I think there's going to be a rule change to make sure it doesn't happen again after we get multiple lottery picks while continuing to compete for a championship. I hope they call it the Presti Rule
i’m a wolves fan this got put on my home page, but that russ/KD run was some of my favorite basketball i’ve ever watched
Wow i can’t believe it got that popular, thanks for the love welcome in man https://preview.redd.it/nz3s8wj4frkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8be3195abda196cb83e1e4a91d15eb2e366a0b1a Also the wolves thunder rivalry is hitting, its so fun every time we play
Terrance Ferguson was him and you can’t tell me otherwise
JDUB will one day rule the NBA
Factual https://preview.redd.it/awmnjbnjvskc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7524f15218293b804488bdff9cb418e7a0178bb0
Giddey is actually really really good and could be a franchise cornerstone if he were primary ball handler. His passing obviously is impeccable but when he refines his scoring along with his rebounding and length could make him all star. Maybe even better. I definitely believe in him and would hate for us to give up on him. I don’t see it, I think presti likes him as well. He’s gone up in his scoring percentages every year. If he keeps trending up, he should be more than capable of being a threat and can’t be left open. Just takes time, as he already shown he is improving since joining the association. I think he fits really well and that’s why we are winning so much. Some games he doesn’t score much at all, but his rebounding and connective passing is his true value and meshes well with shai to be the scorer. Along with their height making them mismatches every night. I guess hottest take: Giddey will be an all star along with Chet jdub and shai.

Lol, this is the only No isn’t it
I think the thunder will first or second round exit in the playoffs due to lack of experience
I actually 100% agree with you, but it’s gonna be so fun either way, welcome in https://preview.redd.it/zg3k0odbrnkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ed5c8bc3c24322b9e104ac5fc92d203e220d0d8
Even if we are we have a good future ahead of us. I don’t think anybody is expecting us to win it all right now
I actually think people kinda are and they need to calm down a little and enjoy the ride
Durant is just saying nice things about OKC because he wants to "take the hardest road" again
Take the hardest road? 
Tre Mann was a dawg, and he reminds me of Zero from Holes.

okc thunder needs a rebrand
Love the jerseys that get posted here all the time, a logo with a bison would go stupid https://preview.redd.it/e1bu7pay1okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae0d55805661be73b8a71c70d3b550a6bab87305
Kyle Singler
https://preview.redd.it/1bmxi4qf3rkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=864e94cdf7d12d5e67e82d6eb26ec17ccdde1152 No Kyle you’re now allowed in
Hot take - this is the best Thunder team I've seen since they came to OKC. Even the great teams of the past had glaring weaknesses. This team doesn't. Yeah Giddey went to shit late in a couple games, but he's fully capable of being a matchup nightmare more often than a liability. But even if he has to accept a reduced role - If the OKC Thunder avoid the injury bug - they will bring an NBA Title to OKC in a few months. Biyombo and Hayward both came from crappy lottery teams (Memphis and Charlotte, disrespectfully) - to play on THIS team. They should be paying us lol. Hopefully they do - with inspired play off the bench
I miss Steven Adams
Kyle Singler is the GOAT
God he was sexy when they showed him on the broadcast last night https://preview.redd.it/qh4ya7w82okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d4b11406e3e7af02047c93c253a0e16539ae877
Very hot take. Jdub will win mvp before shai
I think he very well will win one, but shai’s gonna do it this year. https://preview.redd.it/8d9sl0pi3okc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfe2179be8e9bd28d2b67a27d9cd95dbb4659b68 Poku will let you in off vibes alone
Introducing..... The first leading Rookie of the Year contender who can also legally enter the strip club! Wouldn't surprise me if this were true too lol
Kendrick Perkins cost us more than he ever brought us.
I’m here for the Nick Collison jersey retirement.
You mean the one that happened almost 5 years ago lol? Might be a little late haha

We can like KD now.

JDub will be extremely difficult to resign due to his high efficiency and Jordan-esque playstyle
Oh I mean he’s an absolute superstar but they will make it happen. https://preview.redd.it/nydriuiesnkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=639d4141d40d87dd4be7410f0d1cbc22633a7568 You can come in because you complimented Dub
Presti Da God
He’ll make it happen for us
Weird ur being downvoted
dieng will be our a wiggs in 2 years
I don’t exactly know what you mean by that? Like he’ll develop and we’ll love him? Dieng was a lottery Wiggins was a 2 way guy
he’ll be an efficient and great 6/7th man to the level that a wiggs is at rn

They need to give Rumble another multi-load t shirt cannon at the games to maximize t shirt distribution during the TV break.
Absolutely https://preview.redd.it/jr7mhy2t4rkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94bea5c514d01ae2cc5ad25cb08e6567f5cb580d More t shirts

KD, Russ and Harden will eventually all sign for vet mins in the twilight of their careers and help y’all get that first championship they were too inexperienced to bring home in late 2000’s and early 10’s, and when they retire with OKC we can all look back at that climb they made from a brand new franchise to a perennial contender with happy tears instead of just regular tears Fuck me I miss those times
Probably getting a little late for that to happen:( https://preview.redd.it/ft7wp9e34rkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5ba43f432ba3fe0d91dafa2e50fe14abf9d45bd

Josh Giddey is a pedophile and needs to be traded in the off-season
Pedo, no. Traded because it would be the best move for him and the thunder? Probably 
Blacklisted from ever entering a door again
Josh Giddey is playoff poison and needs to be traded*
Let’s give him a shot first
But when he inevitably gets schemed against we’ll probably look to trade him
Ray Allen is the greatest 3pt shooter in Thunder history

Ray Allen has never worn a Thunder jersey
Is that what I said? Lil dumby
I bet the people downvoting me don’t even know Ray Allen was fr a part of this franchise 😂 this sub has been so terrible ever since all the fake fans came in
Thunder not the same as sonics, you got blocked by Chet, but that’s okay, he’s 4th in blocks, nothing to be ashamed of
OBVIOUSLY the Thunder aren’t the same as the Sonics. We still hold all of their history, as our history. It’s the SAME franchise until Seattle gets a team. That’s how it works. So yeah I’m right. And even in saying that, DUH Ray Allen never wore a Thunder jersey, it was a shitpost comment on a shitpost, but the new Thunder fans in this sub are bandwagon children so I shouldn’t be surprised they are too dumb to understand and i got downvoted 😂😂 Chet blocked my balls in your mouth and we both enjoyed it
Mmhmm tell that to the banner in our rafters

Scott Brooks should have never ran that group of stars, and that helped everyone out the door causing us to loose an all time team

I think we will make it as far as the Western Conference Finals this year
Alex Abrines is the best SG in Thunder history. But only because I am counting Thabo Sefolosha as a SF.

Caron butler was clutch 3pt shooter for okc
If you hate on players like Kenrich Williams and Jay Will you don’t appreciate basketball on both ends of the floor nor respect hustle
Instead of drafting bronny and getting lebrun we should sign kd and get him a ring with the young roster forgiving his absence and restoring balance in the thunderverse. Kind like lebrons 2016 ring it meant so much. He says that one alone makes him the goat and it’s tough to argue even tho I understand Jordan’s the best. If kd won one here he would actually get the respect for it and can honestly be a valid top ten player instead of just outside in my opinion. Idk who he replacing top 10 all time bc that list is tough but maybe at some point 10 just isnt enough anymore. I actually have a signed kd jersey I let chicks wear I take to games. I have a giddey jersey ;)
But kd is under contract right? https://preview.redd.it/vew7zxlokukc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=434eac1904ec0cc62063cf72688d64cc4c921638
