We're both happy rn, no need

I'm good on that

Wemby obviously has the higher ceiling (no pun intended) but there is no guarantee he'll turn out to be the better player. Right now, Chet is, and he's also a much better fit on the roster.

Chet being all in for OKC the day he was drafted (rumoured to be even before) is a big deal for us so Chet

I imagine the majority of both fans will say no to a straight swap and that makes complete sense.

Spurs front office obviously says no. I think Chet is better for the thunder in terms of competing this season and next as well but I do think the front office would give Chet for wemby if they weren’t concerned about chemistry or optics. Chet is really good and fits the thunder’s roster so well that I think it would be a tough decision but if we are being realistic there are very few players with more value than wemby and okc is early enough into their window to go for the potential.

This is zero slight to Chet who’s been the most impressive “rookie” in a while and is absolutely a legit shooter, defender, and a super high iq player.

To borrow the old Bill Simmons framework for ranking players, both teams laugh and hang up the phone - but the Thunder pause for slightly longer before they do.
