OKC full rebuild let me know which trades are good which ones aren't and what your overall opinion is. Good rebuild?

Trade 1 OKC & CHI

OKC gets Porter (accepts PO), Felicio, White, future protected 1st
CHI gets Paul
Salary works perfectly, its almost identical.

OKC brings in White and a future 1st for their future and porter jr who has a PO of 27 mil i don't see him turning that down, and felicio expire after the season.

If CHI is ready to be competitive again this is good for them. They bring in Paul to pair back with Donovan we saw what they just did with the Thunder together. You pair Paul with Lavine and Markkanen. They aren't bringing in any extra salary and can make moves to open up more salary to sign someone else to pair with Paul Lavine and Markkanen. Like Davis who is from CHI and if i'm CHI trying to get Davis i bring in Paul and the team looks even better to Davis.

Trade 2 OKC & LAL

OKC get Kuzma & Green
LAL get Schroder & Ferguson

OKC brings in Kuzma for the future. And Green is expiring.

LAL they have had some struggles at the guard position this year. Lakers fans aren't happy with Kuzma and Green right now. Neither of them have been much help in the playoffs and Lakers is a contending team so you want players to show up. They bring in Schroder who was 2nd in 6th man race and played great in the playoffs. Also Schroder has been able to stay pretty healthy and not miss a lot of games which is also a plus. They bring in Ferguson who has shown signs of being able to be a 3&D wing which is always nice to have on a contender.

Trade 3 OKC & IND

OKC gets Turner and a future 1st if not to much for Gallo if it is to much then just Turner

IND get Gallinari S&T

OKC adds Turner to their young team as their future center

IND adds Gallinari and keeps oladipo to improve their team and become more of a playoff threat.

Trade 4 OKC & SAC

OKC get Hield

Sac get Adams

OKC brings Hield back to OKC and puts him with their young guys to develop together and improve together.

Sac gets a solid center who will be great with fox in P&R and they haven't had a good solid C for a while. They have tried adding some people in the past that just hasn't worked, but they bring in Adams to greatly improve their C position.


OKC then fills out depth through FA, but they get a bunch of younger guys and they still have all of their draft picks to add to the team with in the future plus their own picks which should be high for a couple of years.

OKC starting 5
PG- SGA
SG- Hield
SF- Dort
PF- Kuzma
C- Turner
White and Bazley come off the bench both young guys who showed pretty good potential at times this season. Both could potentially in the future be a 6th man of the Year winner or move their way into the starting lineup.

I only like the Lakers/ Okc trade. No way Bulls include Coby White.

It's going to be an interesting off-season for sure as there are about ten teams looking for that one piece to get them over the top. It's definitely going to be a seller's market for sure because of the weak free agents, unknown draft certainties and cap reduction. Several teams will have to trade away players or they're going to lose millions of dollars. Philly for sure. This is a prime year to obtain young assets and picks for rebuilding teams which should greatly expedite the rebuild process. Next year is going to be about all the excellent free agents. That being said, I only see the Lakers/ Thunder trade as a possibility in your trade scenarios.

lakers okc makes no sense for lakers. Kuz needs to go still just not the right move to address their needs.

chicago isn't ready to win now won't give up white

i like the gallo turner swap for both teams natural fluid pairing with sabonis turner needs chance to develop
they adams hield trade is a great follow up to that for OKC just doesn't look like SAC has a chance to win either so I don't see them doing a deal where they aren't getting younger player/ picks for hield.
