- Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber are out for now. Together with Otega Oweh and the open spot, that makes four inactive roster spots every night, three of them because of injuries. at 6:05
- Host analysis: Peavy would be at minimum a high-end G League talent for the Blue, helping the development of Topic and Thomas Sorber if they are sent down. at 7:36
- Peavy profile: 6'7", 215, 25 years old. He played college at Texas Tech, TCU and Georgetown, where he was a teammate of Thomas Sorber. at 9:23
- Thomas Sorber has not played organized, full-contact basketball since February 2025 of his college season, to the host's knowledge. at 19:13
- Host expectation: Sorber should play basketball at some point this season, between now and April, not necessarily right away. He calls holding Sorber to pre-draft expectations too steep. at 20:04
- What the host will watch for once Sorber plays: whether he can defend fours at the NBA level, and how the Thunder incorporate his post-up scoring. at 20:24
- Sam Presti (reported): The host paraphrases Sam Presti as saying Sorber and Topic are essentially 'rehabbing from rehab' after being away so long. The host explicitly says these are not Presti's exact words. at 21:24
- The host assumes Sorber and Topic will play for the Blue at some point first, and says that is what he would do. at 21:42

- Host says the second apron is coming for OKC next year, which makes hitting on Stirtz, Mara or Sorber more important. at 2:58

- Mort would be very surprised if Mara, Topic, Sorber (to an extent) and Stirtz don't get minutes. at 7:20

- The host floats trading Porzingis's expiring-type contract for a big man such as OKC's Thomas Sorber or Milwaukee's Miles Turner if the uncertainty continues. at 9:49
- The host wonders whether, if Porzingis is still in limbo in January or February, the Warriors would trade his contract for a big like OKC's Thomas Sorber or Milwaukee's Miles Turner. Evans has heard little about how they view the contract and doubts teams would give up an asset for that uncertainty. at 9:49
