Why Did the Kings Help OKC?!

Nique wasn't getting minutes with acuff, sharp, black, and monk on this team lmfao. Also, Nique didn't show he got better when he struggled against G Leagueers in SL and the California Classic. But again, he'll have a better chance in OKC with a better system and a real coach. I'm only upset with the Kings wasting a pick on Devin Carter.
time will tell if this is really helpful for okc
Other GM's aren't thinking about OKC, or the Spurs. They will do what they think is best for their franchise at that moment. This "stop helping OKC" idea is a silly. Sam Presti just has a longer timeline than all other GM's because they think in 0-2 year windows and he thinks 3-7 years into the future. That's why he's taken advantage of the Clippers, Rockets, Nuggets, Dallas, Heat, Knicks, Clippers, Kings, and the Clippers a few extra times. OKC's Development and Scouting is also just way better than other teams, so they are turning players that would fail elsewhere into legit NBA guys.
Nique will slot in at wing.
in the last 3 months of last season nique clifford averaged 13-5-4 with 1.5 steals on 43-36-77 shooting splits.then the kings played him 16 minutes in the first game of this year and practically benched him for the rest of his tenure there.i dont know what the kings were thinking
I’m not understanding why swipa is acting as if 6’5 is big for a SG
Ox never has an actual thought
We play Peavy, Brooks Barnhizer and Josh Dix. Clifford is going to get playing time. I don’t know why Marz tries to sneak that in there.
Pick pocket presti strikes again
OKC is happy to welcome Nique Clifford. He will thrive in the Thunder culture. OKC has an excellent player development program that turns out disciplined skilled players.
We're at the point Wright now where we don't want OKC to get help? but yet what about all the lottery pick San Antonio got the last phew drafts?
8:00 “We just don’t know ball though” “Real Talk”. Some day they’ll learn to quit sleeping on OKC and Sam Presti.
The thing about this Nique Clifford acquisition is that this pick was originally part of the Paul George trade. So what the Thunder did was trade the pick from the Paul George trade to get a first round pick for next year, then trade two second round picks to get the pick again. So Presti flipped the Paul George trade into a first round pick. And all they had to do was give up two second round picks.
Presti is just so smart where average GM’s doesn’t know they’re helping them. Why bother tho when nobody beating the SA, OKC, Rockets, or Sixers this year. Don’t sleep on Dallas and GSW too
I’m so jealous of OKC fans man. Imagine knowing what it’s like to have a GM that knows how to do his job.
Aj Mitchell is not aj mitchell outside of Okc, Okc coaching staff and development staff and g league team won championships a year ago nobody knew.
Bad organizations are not "helping OKC" on purpose. A good GM is taking advantage of their poor leadership and lack of playoff potential to take talent from them.
Swipa is so butt hurt
