[Who]

Giddey is better and a lot more valuable than WCJ.

WCJ is frustrating. Too inconsistent. There are times when he looks like a good starting quality center and then there are other long stretches where he looks like nothing more than a bench player. Orlando have often looked better with Bitadze on the floor this season.

Giddey is awesome. Such a well rounded player. Needs to keep developing that shot. Reminds me of Paul Pressey on those 1980s Bucks teams. He is a keeper for OKC.

A lot of frustrated Thunder fans feel like giddey has really failed to improve this year and his lack of shooting is killing the spacing.

It's wild that Thunder fans are upset by anything these days.

If only the Thunder had drafted Sengun with our pick from the Horford deal, they wouldn't have to worry about a center. Instead, they traded his rights.

I don't think I'd make that move if I'm the thunder, and if injuries are notwithstanding, I'd rather have WCJ in a vacuum. But they got Chet. They need a cheap good option (although WCJ's salary is pretty awesome) ala Mo Wagner or Goga, not the starter. When they move Giddey it should be for a better wing.

I wonder if Sengun becomes available in the off-season. Houston did just trade for Stevens Adams and I can’t see those two starting together.

That would be foolish by Houston.  Incredibly foolish.

I get that he averages 21/9, but his defense isn’t good and neither is his 3pt shooting. Maybe Houston doesn’t think he’s a good fit and would prefer to have Adams anchoring the defense.
