"I think in the long run it could probably benefit Oklahoma City just based on how they're allocating their finances." Bobby Marks breaks down why the Thunder traded Lu Dort ✍️

@BobbyMarks42 Extending Cason and Ajay is way more important than keeping Lu on the roster and not playing him

@BobbyMarks42 You don't trade a player like Dort unless you believe something bigger is coming. 🔥

@BobbyMarks42 Sam Presti playing chess while everyone else plays checkers. Sacrificing role player depth now saves hundreds of millions in luxury tax later

@BobbyMarks42 It's all depends wether Chet wants to live up to his max contract or not

@BobbyMarks42 Sure It will

@BobbyMarks42

@BobbyMarks42 She said Jalen Johnson was a two way player lmao. If u barely pay attn to basket ball think it’s pretty obvious that NAW, Dyson and Dort are good defenders but to say Jalen is a good defender show med she’s doesn’t understand this hawks team

@BobbyMarks42 Allocating their finances" is a very corporate way of saying "We just traded our heart and soul for a couple of trade exceptions and a spreadsheet." 💔

@BobbyMarks42 They’re going to have to try and trade Chet by the next offseason. But unless he gets stronger and proves it, good luck.

@BobbyMarks42 Makes sense financially, but Dort is still a big loss

@BobbyMarks42 Lu Dort was the chili dog of OKC’s defense spicy, essential, now suddenly gone.

@BobbyMarks42 Good one.

@BobbyMarks42 Dort mattered a lot now watch what happens and watch how they lose like a mfer

@BobbyMarks42 Financially it makes sense, but emotionally this is devastating. Dort was the literal heartbeat of OKC’s perimeter defense. Cason Wallace has a ton of potential, but asking him to instantly replicate everything Dort did for a championship caliber team is a massive gamble.

@BobbyMarks42 Malika Andrews 4 President 2028!

@BobbyMarks42 It's about the books, not the player. Dort is solid, but OKC's long-term financial health matters more. Smart cap management.

@BobbyMarks42 Nice one.

@BobbyMarks42 @KendrickPerkins Hawks got the best player in the trade and he thinks Oklahoma won the trade 🤡

@BobbyMarks42 OKC Dort ROI: ♾️

@BobbyMarks42 Excited to see how this shapes the Thunder's future. 🏀💪Trading Dort makes sense for long-term flexibility!

@BobbyMarks42 I think 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
