He will have 2-3 rings by then and at that point its okay for him to spread his wings as much as I’ll hate to see it. Hes a peacock gotta let him fly.

In some ways I’m kinda worried about the contract stuff, but also I soothe that anxiety by knowing that Presti is in charge of it. Only other person I’d trust to navigate it in the entire NBA is Stevens, that dude is also a wizard

Definitely most important, but Chet was incredible too. However, most fun goes to McCain!!!

ThunderPoke91 | Thunder

Chet has taken the next step. I realize the suns and Lakers are shit on the interior but he has really been a force inside. Wish dub was healthier this season because he is looking like he was taking another step as well.

No. The final Infiniti stone will be the Clippers jumping into the top four in the draft and then handing the pick over to the Thunder

loosechange-71 | Australia

Kindly_Letterhead_98

100% they can’t double Shai if jdub is healthy

Ok-Street-2473

4 | 4 hours ago

They can and they do lol.

Doubling Shai can be a good strategy, but when they its implemented to such a significant extent like the Lakers have done, it’s impossible to win unless the Thunder shoot like 20% from three

briguywiththei | Thunder

24 | 4 hours ago

I mean, hes a top 25 player in the league. They’re just ridiculously deep

Xgxstxn | Thunder

16 | 4 hours ago

Idk how you can watch that first half and not think we need him honestly, not just offensively but defensively his size matches up 10x better with bron than anyone else on the roster. Which makes all the other defensive matchups even easier for us.

Jacer4 | Thunder

8 | 3 hours ago

Yes 100%, if we had JDub on Bron these might be genuinely 40 point blowouts. He’s one of the single best wing defenders in the NBA, and an elite offensive player when healthy. At his best he’s genuinely a top 25-30 guy, any team needs that at the 3-4 position lol

itssensei | Cavaliers

5 | 2 hours ago

Jdub can also take over games when SGA has a mediocre night.

Second options don’t seem all that important when you’re winning, but against better defensive teams like the Spurs or Minnesota, that opinion will change pretty quickly.

Jacer4 | Thunder

1 | 8 minutes ago

If you’ve watched a lot of our previous Spurs matchups, he’s actually our main Wemby defender because he has an insane reach + the bulk/center of gravity combo that can give Wemby trouble on getting into the paint.

I think people underrate him because he’s been injured/played at some level injured for so long, but when he’s fully healthy he’s an honest to God game changing player. I’m really hoping our FO is just holding him out of this series since they think we can get it done without him, and he can play if us/Spurs advance to WCF

vindictivejazz | Thunder

6 | 4 hours ago

Yeah. Especially when we face off against players like LeBron, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, OG Anunoby.

He’s an elite cutter/finisher, a solid ball handler, can shoot the 3, and can defend 1-5 (1-4 at an absolutely elite level. You need that.

Jay_Cubx7 | Thunder

pdpdpdpdpdpdpdpd | Raptors

You’re not wrong but saying this after b2b 18 point wins is still funny

butterbeancd | Thunder

2 | 3 hours ago

Absolutely. He’s the only player on the Thunder who can effectively guard big wings. He’d be guarding LeBron in this series. He’s also the best transition player on the Thunder and the only one-man fast break they have. They are so much more dangerous with him, and if they have to go through the Spurs, they will need JDub to do it.
