Come on home big boy

Hey guys, since it's the offseason I thought it would be fun to see where our community stands on some common questions used for ranking NBA players.

The top comment (aka has the most upvotes) fills each spot!

Today r/Thunder decides the most frustrating OKC player of all time!

CURRENT SELECTIONS:

1. Best Role Player - Alex Caruso (HM: Nick Collison, Aaron Wiggins, Luguentz Dort)
2. Best Draft Pick - Jalen Williams (HM: James Harden, Ajay Mitchell, Russell Westbrook)
3. Best Trade Acquisition - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (HM: Paul George)
4. Best Defender Ever - Chet Holmgren (HM: Andre Roberson, Serge Ibaka, Luguentz Dort)
5. Worst Starter Ever - Kyle Singler (HM: Terrence Ferguson, Darius Bazley, Gordon Hayward)
6. Worst Draft Pick - Cole Aldrich (HM: Mitch McGary, Aleksej Pokuševski)
7. Worst Trade Acquisition - Carmelo Anthony (HM: Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb)
8. Worst Defender Ever - Enes Kanter (HM: Anthony Morrow, Carmelo Anthony)

Very interesting Spain team with Mara plus Aldama and De Larrea (Dallas), Baba Miller (Clippers), Hugo (Boston), Hernán Gómez brothers ex NBA, and Saint Xupert (Gonzaga last year now signed for Valencia powerhouse)

Im not calling for trading him.. but ive been seeing posts about bringing in another bench big wing, who can possibly start if jdub went down for some time.. thoughts? Opinions?

"Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti recently revealed that former Georgetown big man Thomas Sorber has grown two inches during the offseason. Drafted 15th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, Sorber now stands 6'11" with an impressive 7'8" wingspan".

This was a X post sent to me by a friend. I can't find an actual quote or article written showing Sam Presti in fact said this. Has anyone else see anything that shows this to be an accurate statement?

This would be great! I really can't wait to see him play.

The Hawks kept Trae Young.

And signed Russ as backup PG.

I'd love Thunder first and foremost of course, and I'd root for Thunder over Hawks in an amazing hypothetical NBA finals, but man, I'd be so vested in the Hawks in such a scenario with Russ, Trae, Buddy, dorture chamber, basketball savior.

And then think it the Hawks had some acquired Stevo and signed Al Horford (I loved Al before he almost signed with us in 2016...and when he drank a cup of coffee with us in 20-21) to retire with his team...a team of all those guys plus Jalen Johnson and Shai's cousin...man. Easiest #2 ever.

Is it worth trading for him from the clippers using the trade exception? I am sure the clippers would want a couple pics. Then include a third team to off load Mara for a late first possibly. Thoughts?

His contract keeps us under the 2nd apron and won’t cost much maybe a couple 2nds. Dudes got a lot of upside and doesn’t really fit Utahs timeline.
