Two lottery picks for the Thunder now that the Clippers lost both of their play-in games.

^That’s about as hard as I have cheered for a team all NBA season. Didn’t think the Pelicans could do it after giving up the big lead. Two lottery picks plus the 30 and 34 slots for the Thunder.

[April in the Plaza]

The LAC pick landing at #12 is incredibly good fortune. Doubt it moves up any further but there’s always a chance (~3.5% of both picks being Top 4).

I would think we trade the #30 pick to a contender. Can only roster so many guys and a future FRP would almost certainly “move up” to a better spot in the first round.

[okatty]

Agree, I’d be shocked if Thunder make all 4 of those picks.

Giddey on praise from 'idol' LeBron & getting 'picked apart' by CP3

[FighttheGoodFight]

Few friends and I are going to the Jones for the lotto watch party. Lets get that #1 pick!

[Anonymous.]

I'll be at the Parlor watching. Trying to keep expectations low after last year getting the second worst outcome possible. We are so lucky to have Presti, he will turn any ball into a W. Giddey was an amazing get.

I'm going to be tempted to grab a 10-game ticket package up in the nosebleeds if they draft Chet with the second pick.

I'd be good with that pick. CH is a great player but his frame is concerning to me

his frame doesn't look that different from Kevin Durant's at the same age. And this team needs shooters/interior defense in a bad way.

banchero seems like a nice player, but i don't really see his game fitting in naturally with SGA and Josh.

Barstool Sports has a content creator that is an OKC native and reps the Thunder frequently. I’ve followed her on Twitter for a while but never realized that she’s Clay Bennet’s daughter in law. Better representative for OKC than Skip Bayless am I right? Lol

I watched the YouTube video and thought that it was sad that Alex Bennett clearly admitted that there are no celebrities, other than maybe Toby Keith, that are diehard, regular courtside Thunder fans. The truth hurts.
