Re: OKC trades Thabeet to Philly then Philly will waive him
Yeah he's 27 next year. I think it's safe to say that Bust label is unshakable.

Re: OKC trades Thabeet to Philly then Philly will waive him
I could see the Cavaliers signing him, but throughout his career he never got much playing time. The most he's ever gotten is his rookie year at 13 minutes per game with 1.3 blocks per game. Obviously a great shot-blocking, but probably horrible at so many other things that it isn't even worth it.

Re: OKC trades Thabeet to Philly then Philly will waive him
Has he even had a good stretch in his entire NBA career? Even something like 10/6 for two weeks.

No but he had a double double once. Here's all 21 games in his career that he played over twenty minutes :

Talk about worthless, a 7'3 black dude that can't play for shit.

Re: OKC trades Thabeet to Philly then Philly will waive him
In terms of production, is Thabeet the biggest bust relative to his draft position in history? I mean, even notable busts like Candyman and Kwame had decent/serviceable seasons. Even Oden in his equivalent of 1 year has already eclipsed what Thabeet has done in 5 seasons.

slow as fck, can barely catch the ball, no hops, no moves, zero redeemable qualities.
likely failed as a project too

When Omer Asik with his atrocious offense can get a starting gig, it makes me shudder to think how bad Thabeet is to only get 10mpg

Very good NBA starter
Re: OKC trades Thabeet to Philly then Philly will waive him
I hope that means OKC will sign someone. Thabeet is a scrub, but he a fun guy, will miss him a little.

Re: OKC trades Thabeet to Philly then Philly will waive him
When a guy is 7'3 and actually moves well at his size and can't even get any playing time you know he's beyond garbage.

Re: OKC trades Thabeet to Philly then Philly will waive him
Is there a case to be made for Thabeet as THE biggest bust ever (among players who actually played in the NBA)?
He was "only" a second pick, but you can't be much worse than that as a second pick.
It was a deep, strong draft, too, with Blake Griffin, James Harden, Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, Jeff Teague, Ricky Rubio, Tyreke Evans, Ty Lawson, Brandon Jennings, Taj Gibson, Darren Collison, Jordan Hill, Gerald Henderson, Toney Douglas,... DeJuan Blair, Patty Mills, Danny Green, Jodie Meeks, Dante Cunningham in the second round...
Perennial all-stars, occasional and borderline all-stars, or simply decent rotation players everywhere... Something like 50 of the 60 available players had better careers than Thabeet.
It took real creativity and skill to screw this one up but somehow they did it.
