Dario Saric checks in for the Thunder for the first time and gets a big Loud City welcome.
But he wasn’t supposed to check in yet.

Whole Jabari Smith Jr. feature today is strange. Strange insofar as both pre-draft and post-draft, I’ve never gotten the impression OKC was focused on anyone other than Chet. Strange to get a feature out now on him when he’s struggling. Just brightens the spotlight. Just weird. – 8:26 PM

I broke down how the 2023 NBA Trade Deadline will impact the 2023 NBA Draft.
-Differing strategies of Jazz/Raptors
-Houston’s pick swap bet for Eric Gordon
-The Portland/Chicago Future Pick Conundrum
-Why did ALL THOSE 2ND ROUND PICKS get traded?
-More!

As expected, the Mavs have signed Justin Holiday. 10-year vet, just over 600 games with a career avg of 8.5 ppg and 36.4% on 3s. He played with the Hawks this season before a trade to Houston and a buyout. – 6:15 PM

The Dallas Mavericks have signed Justin Holiday.
From the start of the 2018-19 season through the end of the 2020-21 season, Holiday saw action in every game (227 games, 135 starts). He also won an NBA Championship with the Warriors in 2015.
Holiday will wear #0 for Dallas. pic.twitter.com/kzW4tZR6XL – 6:10 PM

If you want to compare the Rockets and Thunder compare the returns from the Paul George and James Harden trades. OKC got an All Star and a lot of draft equity for George, while the Rockets went exclusively with draft equity for Harden – 5:29 PM

Chet Holmgren’s agent, Bill Duffy, told me on draft night that Holmgren was the Thunder’s “No. 1 priority.”
“He was the person for Oklahoma City,” Sam Presti said after the draft. “He was the person for the Thunder.”
Make of that what you will. – 2:28 PM
