    Keep up the great content! You're appreciated in your work for our OKC Thunder! ⛈️
  • We don’t need anymore wings or guards. Okc’s chemistry is great with the guards and forwards that they already have. The one great spot of need Claxton can fill.
  • I’ve been a big Nik fan since he was a rookie but being so similar in build to Chet and he has no outside game I doubt it. Monk is a free agent and Sam might be able to bundle his picks for a draft pick that fits or even, if Sam can pull off a theft, Deni Avijda, the perfect piece.
  • @AcogNeato
    Malik Monk should be on the radar as well. If he's willing to come off the bench as a 6th man he could be a MASSIVE contribution
  • Give up a number One pick #12 and a future no.1 for Lauri Markkanen! Championships!
  • @TexanByNature88
    If you get Nic Claxton, can you still pay Giddey, Wiggins and Joe?
  • @EDTheOneable
    Claxton would be a decent pickup even if the Thunder are going to overpay. What this OKC team definitely needs to keep adding is big man depth, physicality, and a little more shooting to truly become title contenders. OKC is officially out of development mode and need to have a mindset of contributing to winning or you are out and have no problems with moving assets to upgrade.
  • There is a ton of big man talent where the Thunder will be drafting. Guys like Filipowski who is a perfect fit for OKC. Why on earth spend over 20 million a year to get a Big who wont fit in the offensive system at all, basically he is nothing more than a dunker. Are you bringing Claxton in to be Chet's backup, or are you benching Dort or Giddy to put him in the lineup
  • I rather draft a big like filipowski cuz claxton can’t shoot or pass he a good rebounder but he’s almost as skinny as Chet if we gonna get a center who can’t shoot he atleast has to be a big presence
  • @phantxmtv6596
    All I want this offseason is us to pay Joe sign Claxton and bring back muscala
  • Bruh we don’t need a player who can’t shoot. It will just clogged the paint. Let Shai the MVP do his thing 🏀
  • @alimfuzzy
    Makes sense but also not really. Good on the board, but no 3pt shot. At this point, same thinking why not take a risk on zach edey. Equally bad at opening the lanes, but way bigger and stronger.
  • @cvsh
    dont need em we need a solid center with size (no diddy) for example Nikola Vucevic because if we consistently keep getting to the playoffs as years go we need someone to battle with jokic , jusuf 💁🏿‍♂️
  • @KingIndo-ut6eh
    Should Paul George leave the clippers I think he'll come back to OKC and that's a better free agent signing than nic
