The thunder don’t beat the wolves this past season. We didn’t have a matchup for Luka because of his size. But Jaden and ant will make it way tougher on Shai, even more so than what the pelicans did against Shai.

@@PhaeonXu Shai didn’t even do his work on herb jones. He did majority of his work on cj mccolum dude. When guarded by herb or naji Marshall he was not cookin. Also I’ve literally already seen ant play defense on shai. Jaden and ant are gonna be comfortable switching out that because Shai isn’t physically imposing as Luka and he ain’t as quick as kyrie or as crafty dribbling wise like kyrie. Those type players, ant and Jaden thrive on guarding. Hell naji Marshall held Shai to 37 percent guarding him and ant is one of the best 1v1 defending guards in the nba I don’t know what you talkin bout

@marcusfrm6263 weird I must have missed Ant being on the All Defense teams if he was so good. Oh wait he got 8 total votes and was behind Dort, SGA, and Chet. Head size must be wild for such a big cap. Also why do you think SGA cooked on CJ? Because we targeted him. You think OKC wouldn't just do the same playing Minny?

An overlooked aspect of the Thunder's success last season IMO was just how completely they bought into Daigneault's plan. In fact, the only two players that didn't mimic everything Mark said were Giddey and Hayward and they're gone. It's no coincidence they gravitated to one another after the trade. Giddey never committed to his role as evidenced by his lapses on defense. Hayward showed his displeasure by not shooting. Now Giddey is on a team yet to determine its identity and Gordo is waiting by the phone with his wife. I know Daigneault won't have any issues with Caruso. For lack of a better analogy, it's like raising a pit bull dog, you need to get your bluff in when they're puppies and Daigneault was Caruso's first pro coach, lol. Hartenstein is a winner, a what ever it takes type and now the Thunder can keep an elite rim protector on the floor at all times. Caruso doesn't have defensive lapses, neither does iHart and Shai is going to get a quick course on playing off a big pick setter this summer with Edey. We talk about our young guys getting better and forget that last season was Daigneault's 1st run as well. He'll be better.

I don’t see ihart signing as an overpay. He may lack number stats but advanced stat pegg him as a elite defender and great playmaker and passer for a center. Okc paid adams 100 m for 4 years in 2016. 4m more per season for ihart is not an overpay. He’s 26 has room to develop in this system. He’s better rim protector than adams, similar rebounder and waaaaay better offensively.

@@coreyhiggins6890 okc just added caruso and ihart and got rid of giddey, who was a major factor in game 2s loss, a whopping -20 +/- in just ELEVEN minutes. This isnt even one of those "he subbed in at the wrong time during a run", no he caused these runs. Thunder no longer have any defensive weaknesses. I know dallas added grimes, marshall, and thompson but their starting line up is not very good defensively even if their bench tries to make up for it. I know luka was a bit hobbled but even if he was fully healthy, the results would be the same. Im sorry but caruso and hart > grimes marshall and thompson. and i didnt even mention okc bricking wide open shots and being afraid to take them, now that they know the playoff stage, they should improve

Presti just got rid of a key piece of a team that finished #1 in the West and came within a play of most likely making the Western conference finals. I really don't get how anybody who understands basketball can think that this team is now better. The chemistry of that team is now changed and there is no guarantee that they will ever be as good as they were last year. Everybody should remember what happened when he traded Harden. They never made it back to the finals and never were as good. Trading Giddey was a HUGE mistake.

Clearly you didn’t actually watch the games from the Mavs series. Giddey got benched and saw a massive cut in minutes. A. He can’t shoot therefore teams would leave him open to double shai and jdub on the perimeter B. Jbud has developed into the second best playmaker in the team with shai. You don’t need a 3rd especially one in the corner wide open who can’t shoot C. With all the off the court stuff he dealt with his confidence was completely rattled. He’s numbers and efficiency were down
