I am hearing that the mysterious third team involved in this James Harden trade is the OKC Thunder.

Siegel did originally say there was a 3rd team involved before the Woj follow-up news came out...

Lmao. At this point okc will send all its players to seattle and vegas and then draft the whole 2024 draft for themselves

[–] MoooonRiverrrr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

So does OKC get Mann or something?

[–] Damptoe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

OKC getting some size? Plumlee?

mann for a first? would be crazy for the thunder

When you hear of a 3rd team rerouting a 1st round pick, there's a good chance it's the team with a thousand 1sts

[–] ShaedonSharpeMVP_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's NYK I'm calling it rn

Presti is hiding somewhere in the bushes on every major trade negotiation in the league

[–] AdamSandlerIsntFunny@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah he’s sitting like a king on his throne while other GMs come begging for mercy to help facilitate their cute little trades.

[–] Overall-Palpitation6@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Has any GM dined out on one Finals appearance a decade ago and pick accumulation/can-kicking assets more than Presti?

[–] Yesoh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looks like he's building a pretty decent team right now. Where does that factor into your in depth analysis?

[–] indicisivedivide@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He won more finals with the Spurs.

GOT ANYMORE OF THEM SECOND ROUNDERS scratches furiously

[–] LavenderAutist@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Clippers called and asked them to make good on the Paul George trade after seeing how good OKC made out

Presti felt bad and is trying to help them out

"I'm just here for the picks"

[–] thy_armageddon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Papa Presti bails out Morey. How generous of him.

[–] KaiserKaiba@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Seemed like the safest of guesses to think it was them lol

[–] fchdzn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course it is. Presti smelled a trade in the air and made some calls

[–] g-love@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He felt it, deep down in his plums.

[–] swords_devil@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

alright how many picks did Presti get this trade

[–] bearded_mischief@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They have to get embild or Luka or that horde of picks is useless, there is going to be a huge talent dip in the next few years from the draft.

PRESTI STRIKES IN THE NIGHT

[–] RogerTreebert6299@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Morey was sitting dejected when he mused aloud “I’d sell my soul to get this trade done…” then Presti appeared in a cloud of smoke and said “fuck your soul, just gimme your second rounders and it’s done”

[–] likpoper@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yea of course

[–] COYRnB@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

of fucking course

[–] JurgenFlippers@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Of fucking course

BRING OUT YOUR BUSTS

BRING OUT YOUR BUSTS

[–] LovetheNBA23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What does OKC get from the Clippers? Norm or Mann? Can’t be Zu.

[–] ShotClockCheeeese@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

PlumGod please

[–] NaciremaBlack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They're getting Embiid

[–] StoneColdAM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Imagine if Russ gets routed back to OKC

[–] WestbrookTop75@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i wont hate it because OKC are good this year

Either way We get PLAYOFF RUSS !!!

[–] butterbeancd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s Presti cooking? The ability to use Bertans’ contract to take on some salary is interesting. Probably just gonna be trading a 2024/25 pick for a pick further in the future, though. Presti loves spreading out those picks.

[–] cmackchase@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the rumors of this year's draft being mediocre are true, shipping out a pick this year for one years down the road.

[–] AMilkyBarKid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think there's value in spacing them out just to make sure OKC isn't stuck trying to find roster space for multiple picks in one year.

[–] GenSec@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bruh I just want to sleep

[–] Sixers14@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The 3rd team will give a 1st not receive, what player okc would receive to give a 1st?

[–] Salty_Watermelon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OKC will probably get more value from us than Philly did. Powell and Bones would be a tough loss to swallow, but I could see it happening.

[–] mangabalanga@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

OKC definitely doesn’t need any more guards so I’m not sure how bones would fit

[–] jamdonutsaremyjam@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

of course it is

[–] temujin94@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They're going to trade Chet as he's too old for OKC's timeline.

[–] TrillxxPhill@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Presti feeling spooky ?

[–] zenmonkeyfish1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I heard the 3rd team is the Grizz and they get Embid

[–] Poopcie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

After that SGA hookup its only right

[–] betweenthebars34@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"The mysterious third team"

Oh the drama. NBA social is so lame. They build up any little tension, people gobble it up and give engagement, and then we hear "mysterious third team" and some dude who makes money off of other people has a dramatic airport story. Fuck off.
