Plumlee still a smart veteran player. Can play spare minutes if theres injuries and seems like he could be a great teacher. He got onto team USA at one point for a reason.

Or he could be cut in an hour

yomynameisty | BOS

Seems incredibley likely he would be cut. But maybe they can ship a 12th-15th man for draft capital and keep plumlee as a replacement level big man? They do have some big depth already but every other team in the west is so big already. Lose a big or two and your playoff run might be cooked if theres not a rotation of backups.

Move upside player for draft pick replenishment, keep veteran plaher for playoffs. Idk who the thunder would even consider selling though

workisxpwaste | Thunder

14 | 5 hours ago

Our 12-15 is Kenrich, McCain, Topic, and Sorber. I don’t think we shipping any of them out for Plums, but Topic would be the only one I could really see.

Kenrich is our vet, McCain just got there, and Sorber was drafted as Ihart insurance before he tore his ACL.

Reidangs | Thunder

yomynameisty | BOS

1 | 5 hours ago

Maybe the org has identified one of them as a bust after a few months with the team. I agree its unlikely for sure but i can see a path where the FO feels like plumlee as insurance on a back to back finals run is kore important than a rookie who cant get minutes to develop and can still be traded for picks.

But still plumlee probably cut

Icy-Pomegranate8783

Outside of the Salaün pick they’ve been killing it, and he’s been even decent lately.

towhom_it_mayconcern | Hornets

14 | 5 hours ago

He’s only 20 and getting better every year. Plays with a lot of energy. Still has potential

BattleFresh003

7 | 4 hours ago

I will not tolerate the Salaun slander. He’s still raw but getting better and had several stretches this season where he was a +/- demigod. He’s currently at +0.8 for the season, not great by any stretch but slowly progressing into becoming a nice piece for our team.

Proper-Dirt3954

2 | 4 hours ago

Agreed for the most part. He was drafted for the high upside and as a huge project. He could get there.

Missing out on Clingan would have been perfect for your team tho.

BattleFresh003

2 | 3 hours ago

Clingan, Edey or Buzellis would’ve been nice. But I agree with the logic behind the pick, that draft was considered notoriously weak and we went for upside. Our team was in need of raw talent. Not to say there were no good players, but it was widely reported that we wanted Castle and San Antonio picked him 5th (big surprise, the Spurs getting the player we wanted one pick earlier). With Castle gone, we went all in on potential to try to get max value for our pick.

Now that we have a solid talent foundation, maybe going for Clingan or Edey would’ve been better, but at the time to me the pick made sense. If everything goes according to plan, by the time Salaun is 24 or 25 our best players will be in their prime and he can potentially be a good 5th starter or an energy guy off the bench.

Also, I really like his motor, effort, and he really cares and wants to get better. I’ll defend him all day.

_Caek_ | Thunder

To be fair, the move has always been to cut salary, and to do so, you need bad/mediocre teams with space to take on salary. Hornets have always been in those buckets, so their FO is on speed dial if Presti needs any salary shedding services performed.

They give him a bindle and point him in the direction of the nearest railway.

Or they put him on one of the daily direct okc to ord flights.

Apparently per the collective bargaining agreement, the new team is responsible for everything to do with moving so that the player doesn’t have to be stressed by it. So it should be the bulls since that seems to be his final landing spot.
