It’s getting More Clear by the DAY…
After Ousmane Dieng dropped a season high 14 points in the OKC Thunder’s 131-101 blowout of the Utah Jazz in their first game without SGA, his stock is soaring higher than ever. Gabriel Ebersole breaks down how Ousmane Dieng has entered the zone in his past few contests, combined with Sam Presti’s commitment to a future without him, creates the perfect recipe for a move at the trade deadline. Factors at play include the first round picks of the Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers, Houston Rockets, and potentially the Utah Jazz, as well as the roster construction and longevity for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I hope we trade him to clear the roster spot and then get Chris Paul. Not that CP3 will bring a lot of play on the court, but will solidify the culture, and let his retirement tour run through the place where his career started, and get that man a ring. The league-wide notoriety and goodwill is worth the roster spot. For Ous, Get the next stage of his career started ASAP.
Don't trade for Zion.. Zion doesn't bring anything why would you trade for an injury prone player.. it'll be a waste!
What kind of pick do you think your getting for Ousmane Dieng? There's not 1 NBA team beating down the Thunder's door for a player who avg. 4 pts for a 4 year career. I definitely wouldn't add a draft pick to move him. Why would the Thunder give up a draft pick for somebody to pick him up? Let him walk if that's what he wants to do but the Thunder aren't getting anything for him.
I want big zu from the clippers
I've been thinking lil bro Deng is cold. I'm glad to see someone covering him

Zion wouldn't fit at all in Okc. Sorry not sorry. Ous is doing his mfkn thang! Fk what the haters say
I think maybe Dieng and one of our firsts for a future first would be the best bet. We don't need more players we need less players.
Hear me out Ous Kenny the Huston pick for Herb Jones and sign cp3 using the sorber dpe
If the Thunder trade for anyone, it should be Deni Avdija.
We wouldn't put that on the books , that contract would be bad business Id rather have GIANNIS but we don't need to make no moves We can keep Deing and let him continue to get better 4 more years
idk who we could realistically get for him but I wouldn't mind grabbing CP3 and dropping Ousmane (I would hope we could get him a spot somewhere in the league though). CP3 is a legend. His rookie year (when the hornets where in okc before the thunder) was my first time going to a NBA game and I instantly locked onto him. He had the effort and intellect even back then. Not to mention he has been in a thunder jersey plenty before and from my understanding is SGA's nba mentor. Personally, I would priotize russ over cp3 but russ seems to be fine with the kings for now.
id rather lose Ousmane outright than get Zion. Dude would NOT fit on this team and hes lay and injury prone
Why would SP care what any of us think. He has built a team that is the envy of the NBA without any input from us. Stay the course and we will all be happy.
Yeah let’s completely alter a 23-1 team. Brilliant.
If the Thunder get any of the top picks in the next draft, they need to trade them for 8 more picks from 2030-2033 to reload the roster after this group is done playing.
Keep him, just another asset to use off the bench never too much depth
Thunder don’t need to do anything.
Ous To The Nets For Haywood Highsmith…..
