Worse if you swap them, because Victor is just not a good shooter right now. You can point to the lack of playmaking on his team but he's still shooting 30% from three on attempts with defenders 4+ feet away (slight improvement to 33% when just looking at "wide open" 6+ft)

He may or may not be slightly better on defense; but a lot of our offensive gravity comes from + Shai plus shooters and Victor would take away from that while also taking the ball away from Shai (Victor's usage rate is nearly that of Shai's). I don't think the potential upsides outweigh the downsides.

Now, if you give us Chet AND Shai... >:)

I really want to see Joe start

Chris Paul I guess, just because he was a consummate professional during his time in OKC; really embraced the veteran/mentor role especially with Shai. I’m kind of indifferent toward him now that he’s gone, but I gained some respect for him in certain ways and don’t dislike him like I did before the trade

OKC #1, HOU #2 -- The future is now, old man!

flip a coin heads is west conference tails is east; then roll a 20 sided die, 1-15 are the teams in alphabetitcal order (handily displayed in that order at the top of this very sub), re roll 16-20

Here I'll simulate one for you quickly on google. got Heads for West. Rolled a 20, re rolled to an 8. Congrats, you're a Timberwolves fan, very solid. And they have some attractive players, Rudy is def a stud.

edit: if you wanna go expert mode, make the nat 20 result is you holding out for the expansion team of that conference

Certainly would not panic trade for Lavine, the only thing that makes sense about that is that he’s available. Caruso could be cool if we aren’t giving up much for him, seems like thunder guy for sure. There are definitely big name guys I’d be happy to trade for (Lauri?) but who knows if they are available.

free throw merchant

Cason didn't do much on the box score but he had two super clutch pretty closely contested rebounds mid fourth quarter. And Kenny had two extremely clutch threes. Without all that I feel like they turn the momentum and we lose this game.
