Going from Fox and Haliburton and Buddy Hield to Schroder, LaVine and DeRozan is some unreal incompetence.

Much older, infinitely worse and still extremely expensive.
Their FO/GM reminds me of someone familiar, but I just can't place it.

We’ve made some monumentally bad moves, and while I’ve opposed them, there at least was a “plan” that hypothetically could have worked in a best case scenario.

The kings meanwhile… “hey, DeRozan miiiiight have been a mistake… but what if we bring in LaVine! They failed together in Chicago but what are the odds they fail together twice?”

Is Jalen Williams going to get the max too? OKC is going to be shelling out a lot of money for their 3 stars.

Yes, Jalen Williams is next as noted in top tweet.

OKC now has long term commitments from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (26), Williams (24) and Chet Holmgren (23).

Potential dynasty in the making, especially with all their future draft picks.

Presti wasn’t going to break up KD/Westbrook/Harden again…

The potential for the Thunder to sustain it, hurts even more.

The 2025 NBA Draft may be remembered for the number of quality big men drafted.

So they have thrown all their eggs into these 3 as their core.

Probably Ok, since they have so many picks to available to stock the rest of the team, or upgrade one of the 3.

i think Wemby, Harper, and Fox should be a better core though.

What will be Holmgren's ceiling is a pretty intriguing question.
