Anyways. Last season was interesting. We had a max cap space slot and wanted to use it on a third player to try to make a big three of sorts. It didn’t happen. We signed He Hor, to just loose him in RFA, and then struck out in UFA. We also decided to leave Fox and Franklin out of our plans in fear of TC destroying them. So we signed a bunch of players in RD 2 we felt would develop or would play well on cheap deals, that we would sell. Some did, some didn’t (and no one was buying at deadline). We were lucky to hit on a few and did well enough to weather a late season slump and make it to the playoffs, which I honestly did not expect. Won the first round and then gave the Clippers everything they could handle before bowing out.
Going into this offseason, same script different year. Traded Oturu for two rookies that could develop and to get a max slot. Signed two outstanding RFAs to not retain either (hoping the Blazers would not pay attention did not work
) , and struck out in RFA 1. So we retooled again with some players we felt would develop or would play well on a cheap contract. TC was solid. The players who were older got hit, but I feel like Wade and Maker really took a step forward. Wade I believe is a top 5 player now and Maker is a top 5 post player, which is outstanding. Add in Tubbs and Hintz having great camps, and we have something cooking in OKC. I think we will be a team to be trouble for anyone to contend with, but not sure if we are true championship level yet. I’m still fishing for that third player, but also think that they might be on my roster as well…Starters as of this minute (has flipped in my mind 10 times the past 10 mins) :
C: Tubbs
PF: Maker
SF: Hintz
SG: Wade
PG: Odell
