THE TAKE
Here's hoping OKC does NOT trade Lu Dort. He has been a crucial part of the championship culture, setting a physical tone on D, enforcing, making big shots in big games. Yes, he went cold from 3 in this yr's playoffs. But I believe he can be a key part of 1 more title run.

GRADING CRITERIA
Lu Dort remains with the Thunder through the 2026-27 season and contributes to a title run; conversely, if he is traded before or during the 2026-27 season, the take is false.
