Holy shit….why would Oklahoma City even take this chance with the most critical draft pick in the history of the Thunder?
I just don’t grasp it in any universe with Jabari Smith right there to be plucked.. Out for the season and didn’t even get his emaciated not ready for the NBA body to training camp.
Why not play this draftt as the hedge play draft and make sure your fanbase gets a real NBA player with the 2nd pick in the draft? Why not make sure SGA and his agent both see soemthing tangible in the Thunder’s future minus becoming the next version of the Sacramento Kings?
Why not make up for the PooPoo Poku debaucle?
Why not give your franchise the apppearance of some legitimate pro sports entity and couple it with a reason for average working folks to pay NBA money for tickets to see the Thunder play games in Oklahoma City instead of Las Vegas or Seattle?
Yikes. Double yikes. And triple John Steinbeck Grapes of Wrath yikes.
This injury is not a shock unless you’re an NBA novice who only reads the Sam Presti medicated Oklahoma City media as a source for your NBA news.
Bill Walton. Sam Bowie, Yao Ming… Gregg Oden… any of those names ring a bell?
If you’re really serious about the team staying in Oklahoma City beyond the new three year extension and Pay.Com Arena ….then why not show some reciprocal legal good faith by giving these Oklahoma people something viable to see the next three years and prove your legal good faith intentions?
I’m pretty certain the the average Thunder ticket buyer has never read Breaks of the Game by Davis Halbertsam. Do yourself a favor then and find a copy on Amazon and start teaching yourself something about the NBA breaks of the game because you’re for sure not going to get much objective hard hoops history from anyone covering the Thunder who reside in Oklahoma because of the gentle nature of press relations Sam Presti allows.
Start learning the history of the league so you ‘ll now when your team team just suffered a a very serious blow to their future.
Breaks of the Game by David Halberstam. As in the Thunder just got a historically bad break of the game this week with Chet Holmgren’s off season injury.
I ‘think’ people in Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and Lousiana can still read this book and not fear having your book confiscated.
Breaks of thr Game by David Halberstam. See if you can find it for cheap on Amazon. As I write it’s still legal to read a book in Oklahoma before Markwayne Mullin become a United States Senator. Better read it in the next two months just to play it safe though.
Make America Great Again….start burning all your books.
