JWill hasn’t been good vs the Spurs and I think we should replace his minutes and give Krich a look. He did give the Thunder some solid spot minutes vs the Twolves in the WCF last season

The Spurs starters are averaging around 43 minutes in the first 2 games

While OKC only has Shai with the 40 minute mark

Our bench has outscored the Spurs by 70+ points
Eventually fatigue will play a role.
Even whenever Fox comes back the Spurs aren’t going to play him 40+ minutes which means someone else that’s already playing a lot of minutes will

Trading either pick 12 or 17 for a future pick/swap makes much more sense than trading up imo.

Trading up for 7 or 8 doesn’t really make much sense given than we don’t need guards.
Okc also has pick 37 in the 2nd round

Trade one of those picks for a future and add the 2nd rounder
Looking at our roster and with Sorber coming in as well I think we will decline Kenrich’s team option

We might also look into trading Wiggins or Joe, if we can trade Joe for a future protected first that would be great too.

We will need to make room for at least 2 roster spots

Will Adam Silver finally give our franchise some luck with a top 4 pick

Shai hasn’t been a negative 3 points in a game since November

Unfortunately for the Lakers they did not take advantage of a rare bad Shai game
I expect Shai to be back to his normal self after he watches film and studies today’s defensive coverages from JJ Redick
