Now this is a trade development I LOVE…
Even with Isaiah Hartenstein returning from injury against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the OKC Thunder fell short to Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, Donte Divincenzo, Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels, and Co, 123-111. The Thunder offense looked flat and the shooting was dry, problems plaguing the team consistently as of recent. Meanwhile, NBA 2026 Trade Deadline closes in, with many contributing players with potential to move — Giannis Antetokounmpo, Domantas Sabonis, Michael Porter Jr, and more. Today, Gabriel Ebersole steps into GM Sam Presti’s shoes in an attempt to fix the issues of three point shooting, shot creation, and rebounding. Constructed and reviewed is a three team trade with the New Orleans Pelicans and Washington Wizards, as well as the fits of Marvin Bagley III and Trey Murphy III.

How we feel about giannis? Zubac? Sabonis?
Sabonis with chet
not mad at this trade
It's gonna take a lot more than Dort and some trash picks lol but I'm down
Ngl I want Lu stay in our team
This is actually a very realistic trade as both guys being acquired do fit the OKC/Presti culture. Would be hard to see Lu Dort go but his lack of shooting and tendency to foul a bunch is really hurting us. Trey would open up the floor so much for Shai, Dub, and AJay… Marvin gives some depth at the PF/Center position and he can stretch the floor as well. I actually love this trade. Hopefully it happens
Nah. Lu gotta stay
Hell no we not healthy…i rather run it back with lu and hart then trade and wonder what if…i dont think yall understand what lu does that dont show on stat sheet
This is why that team was so fake and given a championship!!! They were never like the GSW and will never be better,… they already destroying their team!!!! They can’t even run it back with the same squad!!! 🤦🏾♂️😁😆🤔🤷🏾♂️
Seriously when do we ever get the players the public says we're going to get 😅,sam will get someone nobody thought he was going to get,watch ⌚
Didn’t Lu just choke Fears from the pelicans? 🤣🤣
yo can i ask what happened to the original guy that was on this channel i cant remember his name but i dont never see him anymore if you dont mind not that i dont like you as our host just curious what happened to him
Yeah right they take dort after that jeremaih scuffle 😂😂😂
excited for this trade
if we get tre murphy its a guarenteed chip, and kel el ware hopefully
Murphy overrated af
what ??? Should go for Giannis and Thunders be building a dynasty !!!
Draft capital is gold…three firsts for Murphy and Bagley, who has been a journeyman since coming into the league. A lot of ?????s
This year’s draft is deep…hold capital and double up firsts to move up the board. Rookie deals balance the cap.
Now if you’re going for Giannis…picks go…
Another interesting name is Sabonis. A passing big who provides a bigger frame and a big board man. Former Presti pick for OKC. Veteran and proven talent.
There is no way the pelicans accept this.
We have some shooters. We’ve shown that. I think the glaring weakness points back to the shooting coaching. we have guys that have shot well in the past and there is no consistency now. That points directly at coaching.
Lets trade fir the guy who was 4 out 20 last time we played them
