I loooove Steven Adams but this move (With J Jax and Shump getting moved) would quite literally purge our roster of SF's entirely lol.

Unless you care about Troy Williams.

Adams is a really good player though.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

This would leave us with a big hole at SF, they seem to think we'd go Fox/Buddy/Bogs vs. using Bogs to lead the 2nd unit.

New Orleans receives OKC’s 2024 first-round pick, Sacramento’s 2021 first-round pick and two future second rounder’s in the deal.

Sac In Steven Adams, Alex Abrines
Sac Out Shump KK JJ WCS

NO In Shump,JJ,WCS,Terrance Fergason
NO Out AD,Darius Miller

OKC In AD,KK, Darius Miller
OKC Out Steven Adams , Alex Abrines

 

[Jkbiker]

Maybe replace JJ with Skal
and we have Alex Abrines and JJ and Troy at the 3?

I don't think Pels would go for it anyway
They would be better with Celtics package

 

[John Galt]

I would do this as the Kings. I love Steven Adams.

But I think NOP are not getting enough tbh. But I do it. The trade proposer over-values Shump and JJ I think.

Just PROTECT THAT PICK VLADE or they will never let you forget it

 

[Kings_of_California]

I'm fine with trading JJ/Shump for Adams. Make no mistake Adams is a fantastic player. I'd love to have him. He's worth trading for even if it totally blows up our SF depth.

Adams is an absolute force.

Don't care about Abrines.

 

[Sactown ExPat]

Yeah, JJ is the only part that makes one even think twice, but I think we’d still have enough room to add someone solid. An added bonus to this trade is it would virtually guarantee the Lakers fail to capitolize on Lebron’s tenure—which is really, really appealing.

I Adams alot though. He’d be phenomenal in Sacramento—a hedge fund manager’s Scott Pollard.

That Knicks trade seems like a signal that Kyrie is out. If I was the NOP I’d be worried that a real Boston offer will not materialize in the summer. Without that, the door should be open to more unconvential offers.

 

[Sac.1989]

I do this, hands down. Adams is a beast and would change our dynamic and further our cause as a defensive juggernaut.

With a summer in the gym, I'm confident Bagley and Giles would add the range needed to compliment Adams

 

[jiimbob]

Aquaman in Sac would be great. I can fill in at SF.

Steven Adams protecting the paint would be like upgrading from a bicycle to a Rolls Royce.

 

[VF21]

I hate this time of year.

 

[kingsfan1984]

I would love to get Adam's. Not sure I like the idea of losing a pick for him unless lottery protected.

If we loose jj and shump in the deal I could care less. Those 2 are very easy to replace on the court. I think troy is better than both of them and Gabriel more than would be able to cover the backup role.

You may think we could get Adams for chump change and no pick, but that' not gonna happen in this universe.

 

[FoxOnTheRun]

I didn't realize Adams is only 25 years old? Hell yes btw. Adams would be massive for this team.

He's SLOW. We're building a fast-paced team. You want to change everything at this point to use Adams properly?

 

[Cojc]

I just don’t see the Thunder moving a major piece of the team with where they sit in the standings.
During the off-season maybe so if they need the space for the super star signing.
But who knows as Vlade has pretty much been quite about his plans.

 

[Jkbiker]

other than the article being an opinion of a Thunder fan, I don't see this working , I really thought it was just an amusing senario
Even if we switched JJ for Skal to keep one SF, I don't see Pels taking 4 mediocre players and two 2021,2024 picks for AD
Sorry not gonna happen

 

[kingsboi]

why would the Thunder move him though?

 

[Jkbiker]

why would the Thunder move him though?

Because AD > SA

 

[kingsboi]

Because AD > SA

the Thunder don't have the assets to acquire AD unless it's a three or four team deal

 

[Kingsfan23]

Of course. But no way is he available for that even with a pick. Trade makes no sense for Pelicans

 

[KingsFanSince85]

If the NOP are balking at the LA LeBron’s current offer of Kuzma, Ball, Ingram and a couple 1st round picks, you guys are beyond delusional thinking the Pels would even listen to 10 seconds of a phone call offering the players in that Thunder trade.
