NBA Trade Deadline Today

[jstaylor62]

I say leave our roster alone and let the players we have now continue to develop. The chemistry and work ethic from this roster is amazing! When you watch them play and in the bench area, these guys really seem to have fun working and playing basketball with each other.

I think if Sam Presti & Co., were to make a trade that they would have already done it by now. Or he may be thinking we're thinking that and waiting til the last moment. Either way, I don't think he'll do a trade. This team is great as it is. Need to worry about resigning Durant & Co.!

I think Presti knows what he's doing more than any of us internet posters.

They are on a 6 game winning streak. Why would you change that? There is no way to win 7 or their last 6.

7 game win streak...

[Jethrol]

Yeah I was wondering if they would mess with a good thing or leave it be. It really is amazing what they're doing right now....very impressive and I love that it's right here in OKC.

7 game win streak...

Thanks, I couldn't remember if it was 6 or 7 and was too lazy to look it up. Still, you can't win 8 of your last 7.

I get the feeling that Presti is waiting for the draft. And really, why not see what draft day brings? The Thunder are already ahead of schedule in their development, so we can afford to be patient and make the right moves.

A better big man? Who don't you like? Who would be the big man replacement and who would he replace?

They are getting overall excellent production from their big guys. They are not a big man, post up, back to the basket kind of offense. Ibaka is really coming along as a shot blocking threat. Collison is charge taking machine! If they got a big man, they would have to find someone that is in shape and can run the floor. Having the thin and athletic centers is really working on their defense and spread the floor offense.

[Kerry]

Collison is charge taking machine!

He should change his name to Collision.

[TaoMaas]

He should change his name to Collision.

LOL I like it! On another note, did you guys see where we signed Antonio Anderson to a 10 day contract? What's up with that? This is a guy who went undrafted, got a slight chance with the Bobcats, but got cut back in October. Working under the assumption that Presti always knows what he's doing, why sign this guy now? What does Presti see that nobody else saw?

Here's a comment from a Memphis fan. If he's right, then he sounds like a Presti guy. But, he might not be under serious consideration, either, since I guess the NBA likes teams to call up D-League players from time to time.

"Hey guys, I am a University of Memphis student that saw AA play in person for 2 years. Also a big Grizzlies fans. Don't worry, I come in peace. Just came to tell you all what kind of player Antonio is. With AA, you're getting a team first player and an all-around good guy to have in your locker room. He is a lockdown defender. Every team Memphis faced, AA would guard their best player and virtually shut them out of the game. He was a big part of Memphis' success. He never was the most polished offensive player but I never saw him have a bad shooting game that took the team out of the game. Part of the reason for his low percentages are because he tries to get his teammates involved first and takes only a few shots a game. That's not to say that he won't take a shot if he's wide open or if he sees something in the defense he can attack. I've seen him make many clutch shots and atleast 2 game winners while he played at Memphis. "

Thanks, betts. If AA is truly a "defense first...team player...at a bargain price", then he definitely sounds like a Presti man. lol This little tidbit from Wikipedia was enough to spark my interest: "On January 3rd, 2009, Anderson became only the second player in Memphis history to record a triple-double, the other being Anfernee Hardaway, with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 13 assists in a home game against the Lamar Cardinals." Even though we're looking pretty good at the guard position, I hope AA gets some minutes. I'd like to see what he can do.
