Schroder, Luwawu-Cabarrot delighted to play with NBA favorites

New members of the OKC Thunder team Dennis Schroder and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot express their joy to join the new team.

The OKC Thunder started the off-season of 2018 in a rather precarious position. At the top of the list of concerns was to re-sign the star Paul George and determine how the franchise would proceed with Carmelo Anthony.

Fortunately, PG13 lost valuable time by clearing Thunder Nation's anguish announcing its intention to return a few minutes before the start of the moratorium. Anthony's situation, however, seemed destined to financially saddle the franchise for years.

As one after another the handful of teams having enough space to absorb Anthony 's contract signed the list of free agents. But, losing his confidence in Sam Presti is not wise given his track record and on Thursday, July 19, GM has added gravity to its growing magician status.

Trade with Atlanta has removed the need for a buyout. two badets that can contribute and fill the gaps in the list. Dennis Schroder can serve as a backup keeper in an unsatisfied manner since the release of Reggie Jackson. Timothy Luwawu-Cabarrot offers another juvenile talent with playoff experience and untapped potential.

In recent days, player exchanges have provoked negative reactions such as swap teams DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard. Fortunately for the OKC Thunder, the two new additions are at the other end of the spectrum and are delighted with their change of address. In fact, both players cited the two OKC superstars as their favorite players.

The Thunder writer, Royce Young, noted Schroder's reaction as an excitement. For those who are curious about whether Young has managed to adapt, Young has also clarified the situation through the same tweet. Schroder is aware that he will fill a reserve position This does not mean that the playmaker could not spend time on the field in later play situations or during playtime.

Given the production of anemic reserves of OKC, the German leader offers the opportunity to gain ground in this area. As a starter last season, Schroder averaged 19.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.2 badists. Like most OKC players, Schroder is not very efficient at shooting 29.0% behind the bow.

It turns out that Schroder's favorite player does not have any money. is other than his new teammate Russell Westbrook.

The favorite player of Luwawu-Cabarrot is now his teammate:

Timothy Luwawu-Cabarrot was the element of surprise of the craft he joined the Thunder by the exchange of Muscala to Philly. The young man's initial reaction was humorous as he was simply displaying a thinking emoji.

However, further dig unveiled as Schroder, TLC's favorite player is on his new team. David Pick's tweet noted that Paul George is his favorite player. The wing man is stunned to join the Thunder and we hope he gets rid of his PG fandom quickly. Often, when a younger player quotes a star as his favorite, he becomes a spectator when he hits the ground.

Fortunately, Schroder and Luwawu-Cabarrot will not have to worry about it subject too much, because they will both have roles of bankers.

For a small market, players are eager to come to Oklahoma City. reputation. Certainly, Russell Westbrook and Paul George contribute to the impatience of the players to become teammates.

And, the fact that the team is competitive also plays a role. Still, this is not a given as Toronto is leading the East and San Antonio is a perpetual contender (see Leonard and DeRozan).

Finally, the fact that Sam Presti moved Melo's contract to avoid becoming the first team of 300 million dollars. 19659004] Adding players who fill holes in the lineup and offer value is another win for Presti. But, the fact that both players are excited to wear their new jersey speaks to the franchise, the potential of the team and yes of the Oklahoma City community.
