2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

OKC usually collects picks for salary dumps and then flips those dumps for more picks after the rehab.  I don't see us spending a pick to get off of THJ.  Don't rule out an OCK/Westbrook reunion though.

That's true but I tried to factor in the Mavs also taking Favors off of OKC so the total increase for OKC this year is an extra 11.6 mil. I don't think that's enough to warrant a pick, which is why I included some prospects like Brown (who they had on their team so the interest is there) and Nesmith. Odds are though it'll realistically cost Green. 

Further, how many picks before it's too many picks for OKC? They have a staggering 37 picks over the next 5 years alone. 19 firsts, and 18 2nds. They have up to 3 picks this draft this year!. There are only so many roster spots available. I can at least understand the logic of just taking on THJ to just take him on and solve the team salary issue (sans picks) and try and rehab his value later or even use him in the rebuilding process. 

I'm also factoring in OKC appreciating his relatively large yearly salary, as if they ever want to cash in on those picks for a star, they need to match the salary somehow.
