I'm hoping for fans' sake this means they're finally committing to a rebuild (and crucially, ensuring they don't convey their 1st round pick next year to San Antonio or whoever it is they owe it to).

I think Giddey makes a lot of sense for them (and coincidentally, I had just started playing 2K again and running a franchise where I control all of the teams and I had traded Giddey to Chicago for Vucevic straight up).

I think Giddey was a little overrated as a prospect and became grossly overrated with the Thunder (I still remember the guys at The Ringer confidently proclaiming that he was going to be on a max contract with OKC either last offseason or earlier this season), but he's a pretty talented player and I think if you get him to buy back in on rebuilding his value, he can prove to be an adequate defender. He's really gotta learn how to shoot though; he's just not effective enough offensively without it, especially if he's relegated to an off-ball role.

At any rate, hopefully they find a taker for Vucevic and either find a taker for Lavine or try to rehab his value before the deadline and then look to move him.
