I know Houston got off to a great start, but it just seems like a team built on a shaky foundation. Ime Udoka seems like a hard-ass that would eventually wear on people after a while. Their guards have improved with FVV back and the addition of Smart, but they still feel a really good guard short of what they need. Sengun is a gifted offensive Center, but he's vulnerable to being attacked at the rim and Amen Thompson can only do so much to help. And then there is Durant, not exactly "Mr. Team Chemistry". I just can't imagine them making a deep playoff run even if they have a good regular season.

The Thunder traded 2 2nds to Sacramento for Nique Clifford after trading the pick that became Nique for a protected first.

The Kings are such a joke. Why is anyone helping OKC?

Ugh, the Lakers without Doncic go into Detroit and win. WTF is wrong with the East!? It's seemingly worse this year than ever before!!! Just an incredible imbalance again.

Hey phenom that 1st that OKC initially traded becomes two seconds if it's not in the top 16, which with the Spurs is very likely the case. So it's basically just undoing the initial trade if that makes sense. Only way it turns into a 1st is if something catastrophic happens to San Antonio this year. So the Spurs pick becomes 2 seconds and they gave up 2 seconds for it.

From what I've seen the Kings keep it if the Spurs pick is top 16 (unlikely) and it goes to OKC if its 17-30.

Yeah I got some bad info it looks like. It only converts to the 2 2nds if it's top 16. This is crazy that all these teams just willingly are loading up okc with even more picks. Especially now with the new rules on the picks.
