Andrew SchlechtHOST
Potentially.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
Thomas Sorber is going to come back in the next couple weeks and play.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
In that case, you have a lot of really good bigs at that point.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
And so do you look to move off of any of the bigs that you have currently, probably outside of, and maybe even sort of refactors into that? Yeah, we're going to see them likely decline Nikola Topic's option.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
So I wonder if that's part of it as well.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
And then I do think Sorber will be back relatively soon, and Sorber's not going to play minutes at the four.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
When we think about the combinations of bigs that can play together, I don't know how much you can play Sorber with anybody but J.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
Will.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
to be honest.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
I do think that we're going to have Topich back, which will allow Benny to be more of a two, which I think will help keep them afloat.
Andrew SchlechtHOST
And then we'll have...
Andrew SchlechtHOST
The funny thing is bringing back Sorber, it's just nice to have another body, but he doesn't really solve any problems for them right now because you've got these two guys in Hartenstein and Mara that are just bona fide great players in the NBA.
HaizeHOST
If you get a protected first-round pick, that is probably the best value that you're going to get for him.
HaizeHOST
And if for some reason you can also pry Thomas Sorber from them, I would do that every single day.
HaizeHOST
Every single day.
HaizeHOST
I would even, I'm not going to lie to you, I'd be willing to throw in Jalen Smith and us in a few second round picks if it means potentially getting Thomas Sorber back, somebody who can be a long-term center option for you.
HaizeHOST
So that's what I look at.
HaizeHOST
Now, why the Bulls would say no? A, Nick Claxton's absence already proven the value of Jalen Smith.
Pablo EscoballHOST
Hello, gents, first-time lobbyists.
Pablo EscoballHOST
With Mara and Sturtz taking bench minutes, do you think Topich and Sorber ever touch the floor slash play meaningful minutes for the Thunder ever? I could see Presti trading both of them for one-year rental like Hachimura, Derek Jones Jr., Josh Minot, or something like that just to get warm bodies on the wing.
Pablo EscoballHOST
Love the content.
Pablo EscoballHOST
Keep it up.
Matt GeistHOST
He did not play in that game.
Matt GeistHOST
Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic have yet to debut.
Matt GeistHOST
Sorber tore his ACL in practice last year ahead of his rookie season, and Nikola Topic has kind of dealt with everything it feels like to start off his career.
Matt GeistHOST
He has never had consistent health so far, which is a damn shame.
17 MINS LATER
Matt GeistHOST
And I think he'd be great.
Matt GeistHOST
Like you're getting outlet passes from Chet and Hart, uh, Harnstein who were great at it.
Matt GeistHOST
And with more now into the fold and Jalen Williams, the other one, J will, you don't really need Thomas Sorber, um, right now going forward.
Matt GeistHOST
But once again, like you might get priced out of Hawkins, but then you can maybe orchestrate a sign and trade in the off season and you can at least get something for him going forward.
Dylan HuntsingerHOST
It'd be great to be above 500, but you try to stay around 500 and just try to get healthy.
Dylan HuntsingerHOST
Caruso is the first domino, or I guess Caruso and Sorber are the first dominoes.
Dylan HuntsingerHOST
You get one or two of those guys back, your rotation looks a little bit stronger, and then maybe it's easier to keep your head above water while you wait for chat.
Dylan HuntsingerHOST
I mean, it's a bummer.
11 MINS LATER
Alex RoigHOST
Now, if we get to a certain point and Chet's injury is said to be either season-ending or long as it is now, we can have a roster exemption and sign a player to a 10-day contract, but we can't bring in a full-time player into a roster spot that we don't have.
Alex RoigHOST
So all of our 15 roster spots are currently taken.
Alex RoigHOST
So if we're going to make moves like that and bring in somebody, it has to be a situation where we're going to have to probably trade out either Topich, Sorber into somebody's space to have that roster spot available to us.
Dylan HuntsingerHOST
And I think Topich is the guy.
speaker_5AUDIENCE
Okay, so a couple things on the Thunder.
speaker_5AUDIENCE
What is the deal with Thomas Sorber? I mean, you know, him and Topich are on the roster, earning a bunch of money, and I just, you know, you don't hear anything about when or if they are going to come back.
Sam HumphreysHOST
I did hear and see video of Thomas Sorber working out in Dallas before that game the other night.
Sam HumphreysHOST
So you would assume that he's close, but again, he tore his ACL like before the draft, not last draft, but the draft before that.
Sam HumphreysHOST
So what's going on? I don't understand.
Robert GuerraHOST
Sure, you can flip, you know, Topich.
Robert GuerraHOST
You could flip Sorber.
Robert GuerraHOST
I think those guys combined make like $15 million.
Robert GuerraHOST
But are you going to get a $15 million a year guy that's going to replace everything that you lost with Kaysan and J-Dub? Of course not.
Ryan BreedenHOST
Caruso, who would be your best on-ball defender at this point in time, he is done with an ankle sprain.
Ryan BreedenHOST
Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic have never played basketball before in the history of mankind, and they continue to be out.
Ryan BreedenHOST
And this is a tweet from J-Dub, or an Instagram post from J-Dub the other day.
Ryan BreedenHOST
He had his surgery.
Matt GeistHOST
He did not play in that game.
Matt GeistHOST
Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topic have yet to debut.
Matt GeistHOST
Sorber tore his ACL in practice last year ahead of his rookie season.
Matt GeistHOST
And Nikola Topic has kind of dealt with everything it feels like to start off his career.
Matt GeistHOST
He has never had consistent health so far, which is a damn shame.
Matt GeistHOST
It's going to go up by 9%.
Matt GeistHOST
And then they also... think that's really it with the in terms of like extensions we can get into like resigning guys soon but they had to trade away blue door to atlanta for some second round draft capital aaron wiggins to atlanta for some second round draft capital he was off to a good start this year and they also traded isaiah joe for you guessed it second round draft capital to the detroit pistons This team also has invested a lot in the draft, right? A lot of these guys kind of came internally.
Matt GeistHOST
Chet, J-Dub, J-Will, Kaysen, and then as of late or recently, Mara, Topic, Sorber, Sturtz.
