Accumulating lots of first rounders, that's good. Thank goodness Davis is gone. Guessing Smart gets flipped at some point in the off-season?
One of my friends said a bottom 8 pick in the first round is worse than a second rounder because contracts for first rounders are much less team friendly. Not sure I agree, because theoretically you are settling for worse players the further you go in the draft.

I am convinced this franchise has no idea what they are doing, doesn't matter who the GM is. Particularly if ^ that is true.
Why did we trade Rui Hachimura again? He is the perfect glue guy.

Rui had mental health issues that at the time we no idea how to help him with.
I would not of liked trading for Beal, but his contract is expiring soon...the plan is taking contracts teams don't want as long as they give us a 1st rounder.
Now we not only the youngest team, but slowly becoming a team of nothing but young 1st round picks.
One of them has got to hit eventually and that's all it takes to be what OKC is.
I don't like tanking but this is the best executed plan I've seen from this franchise ever. I watched them against the cavs, gave them all they could handle most of the game.

I wonder if they are done, or will try to package more to get up to #1 for Paige Bueckers. I think they know they fucked up last year by passing on Reese, not because her on-the-court play. But because she brought in fans and they would have moved more games to CapOne Arena.
Or, they love having 3, 4, and 6. will add BPA in all those spots and roll young?
