Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on trade that sent him from LA Clippers to OKC: ‘I’d say it worked out in my favor’

Ramona Shelburne: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander usually gets asked about the trade that sent him from the Clippers to the Thunder when he comes through LA. This time he gave a very interesting answer: “I had a great year here when I was here. Their front office made a trade that they thought was best for their team. Same with the Thunder. Then the last five years I’ve tried to focus on my development and the team’s development. I’ve tried to be the best basketball player I can be for the Oklahoma City Thunder. And I’d say it worked out in my favor.”

Tyronn Lue calls timeout after:
– Derrick Jones Jr. miss 3
– Isaiah Joe rebounds Chet Holmgren miss 3
– Lu Dort 3 from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Timeout after 35 seconds because the Clippers start second halves not keeping that same energy. – 11:56 PM

That’s where SGA’s pull-up 3 is such an added weapon. Blazers in a zone, three bodies trying to wall off a drive and he pulls right into a jumper from deep. – 10:39 PM

Not nearly my first thought but not sure Cade Cunningham should be playing full time point guard right now. A lot of responsibility and attention…
SGA is a skill comp, and at least he had a year with CP3 as his vet – 7:55 PM

More on this storyline

Clemente Almanza: More from Draymond Green from his podcast about the Thunder: “Shai is on the verge of becoming a superstar. I don’t quite personally think he’s a superstar yet. Because superstar to me is worldwide. Everybody know you. To me, there’s only a few superstars in the NBA. But Shai has superstar-level talent. However, just because you have superstar-level talent doesn’t always make you a superstar. “For Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to take that next step, there are certain things a superstar does. Like I said, the interview. Like Shai, people want to hear what you got to say! They want to hear you speak. They want to hear your thoughts. They don’t want to hear when 7 guys in the back are, ‘Roar! roar! roar!’ They don’t want to hear that.” -via x.com / October 31, 2024
Brandon Rahbar: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the 6th player in NBA history to notch 35 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks in a game. The others: Michael Jordan Magic Johnson Clyde Drexler Nikola Jokic Oliver Miller (@BasketballGuruD) -via Twitter @BrandonRahbar / October 27, 2024
