[Jared McCain] “I mean, the difference at the pro level, there are obviously special cases, like Shai and Luka. They’re the true superstars of the league. People have talked about how some NBA players are actually closer to LeBron than the average person is to the ‘worst player in the league.’”

SGA's dad on why SGA loves OKC: "There ain't nothing to do in OKC. All Shai wants to do is hoop, it's a perfect fit. As opposed to like being somewhere where you know there's nightlife... or in Toronto where everybody's gonna be on your ass: 'Hey, can I get tickets? Can I get this, can I get that?'"
>People ask like, 'What is Shai doing in OKC and how does he like it?'
>He loves it. Because all Shai wants to do is hoop. There ain't nothing to do in OKC. All Shai wants to do is hoop, it's a perfect fit. Yeah, you get what I'm trying to say? As opposed to like being somewhere where, you know, there's nightlife, this that, or in Toronto where everybody's gonna be on your ass: 'Hey, can I get tickets? Can I get this, can I get that?' Shai's perfect where he is in OKC. I don't think he'll ever leave unless, you know, politics or something happens, you know, how the NBA works. But when it ain't broke, don't fix it. You know what I'm saying?

Kevin Love is Furious About NBA Second Apron Situation Around OKC: "You’re telling me OKC can’t keep these 3 together because of these aprons? That’s bullshit. Sam Presti the greatest, all these things he’s done are handcuffed because of these fucking aprons?"
Transcript:
>You're telling me that Oklahoma City can't keep those three guys together because of... because of these aprons? That's bullshit. So you're telling me that Sam Presti, the greatest, all the things that he's done, is handcuffed because of these fucking aprons?
>They I mean, they are unbelievable. They are a machine. We've already played them a couple times this year, they're unbelievable. And like, they they all celebrate each other, they're all a cohesive unit, you can tell like... they had a number of guys out against us, and they're they're coming in and they're, their player development is crazy. Uh, I mean, you can tell they have like established a sense of community and who they are. The level that... it is inspirational.
>I know it sounds like I'm fucking, what are they gonna say, glazing, or sucking them off, whatever. But the level that they sprint back on defense up 30... I'm like, look at these guys. I mean, they they they want it. I'm not saying other teams don't, but they they they definitely have something special there that... I keep talking about teams being a machine, like they they have something special there. And the fact that that team can't stay together because of these rules being implemented, and teams are, you know...
>These guys got drafted these are these are homegrown guys. They've done the work, they did the due diligence to draft these guys. "Oh, we're gonna go get this guy." I mean, obviously, like Chet was an obvious pick, but, um... Shai obviously was, you know, within the trade with the with Paul George. But like, you know, Chet was, like I said, easy. But like, "Oh, we're gonna go go get this kid from Santa Clara" and he's gonna end up being like... all these guys that they ended up going to get too and building these rosters out, and Lu Dort, and Caruso, and all everybody throughout their lineup.
>And I'll say this, my last thing is that like, you know, selfishly, being like a... I'm slightly over the vet minimum now, but like coming out... coming back and that that keeps going up, it's going to affect the cap even more, whereas like it didn't do that before. So teams aren't allowed to I mean, they are allowed to, but it's going to hit their cap worse than it previously had signing a veteran.

[Scotto] Sources: The Milwaukee Bucks declined to tender Ousmane Dieng a qualifying offer, which will make him an unrestricted free agent. Bucks have significant interest in re-signing Dieng in free agency. He averaged 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists last season for Milwaukee.

[Fischer] The Los Angeles Lakers have called the OKC Thunder to inquire about Lu Dort. The Thunder may pick up Dort’s player option and seek to trade him in order to acquire assets.
The Lakers have been linked to all sorts of veteran big men in the forthcoming free agent market as well. They could emerge as a suitor for the Knicks' Mitchell Robinson and the Trail Blazers' Robert Williams III, although sources say both players are very open to remaining in their incumbent roles with the Knicks and Blazers.
I'm also told that the Lakers have called the Thunder about swingman Lu Dort's availability.
Oklahoma City is facing a well-chronicled roster crunch, with 15 players currently under contract and two first-round picks to make at Nos. 12 and 17 barring draft-night trade activity, sparking a belief that the Thunder might be open to trading Dort after picking up his $17.2 million team option to make it easier to re-sign big man Isaiah Hartenstein. Oklahoma City holds a $28.5 million team option on Hartenstein and is generally seen as a lock to retain his services either by picking up the option or working out a longer-term deal with him at a lower annual salary.
