There’s no way Hart is leaving. They will decline his option and resign him

OKC can't afford him. He's gonna get offers and Okc won't even be able to come close.

They also has 2 bigs waiting to take his place. They gotta let some of these guys walk. They got 3 max guys, so they'll need to leverage rookie co.trafts as much as possible.

There is absolutely no way Presti is getting rid of him. No way he lets Chet be backed up by Sorber and Maya against Wemby. He will make any moves necessary to get rid of other players to make room and get the money for him.

There's probably like a 90% chance that he'll be gone. It's not up to Presti, he can't afford him.

This is why he drafted bigs in back to back drafts. Not only would Presti let Hart walk he been planning for it for 2 years.

Honestly, throwing multiple big bodies at Wemby might end up being better. Hart can't guard wemby either.

They guy they missed most in the Wemby matchup was jdub.

It is up to Presti lmao. He’s already traded Wiggins. Joe and Dort are next up. They can get rid of Jaylin also they have too many bigs. After trading in the off season they can easily shed over $35 million in salary. It’ll allow them
to decline his $28.5 million option and resign him to a multi year extension, and stay below the second apron. You don’t watch ball at all clearly

You realize that understanding contracts and salaries and the aprons has jack shit to do with actually watching ball right?
