Western Conference Finals seven-game series comparison:
Chet averaged 10.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game, but in Game 7 he only posted 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks;
Wembanyama averaged 27.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game, and in Game 7 he contributed 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block.
What a bitter rivalry...

Since he is always outplayed by Wembanyama, Chet is under significant scrutiny, and the five-year, $239 million max contract he signed last summer will officially take effect next season.
It is worth noting that, if nothing changes,then the Thunder's total expenditure next season will reach $500 million, setting a new NBA record.

Rumors about the Thunder trading Chet are now widespread. Chet could be the key trade asset for the Thunder to acquire Giannis from the Bucks, along with their vast collection of draft picks—they have as many as 14 first-round picks before 2033.

Giannis is one of the few players in the NBA today who can go toe-to-toe with Wembanyama. At 31 years old, he averaged 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game this regular season in just 28.8 minutes, shooting an impressive 62.4% from the field.

In short, if the Thunder, who failed to defend their title this year, can actually acquire Giannis to pair with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, they will once again become the biggest championship favorite next season.

However, even though this guy does not have a no-trade clause, his personal preference is a crucial factor in determining his destination.
NBA on NBC reporter Grant Liffmann reported: "Giannis hopes to be traded to the Heat."

Earlier, former NFL star and Miami native Chad Johnson revealed: "Giannis was house hunting in Miami early this season, according to a real estate agent." Around the same time, journalist Gery Woelfel disclosed the Heat's trade package for Giannis, as follows:
Tyler Herro;
Jaime Jaquez Jr.;
Kel'el Ware;
This year's No. 13 pick;
Two future first-round picks.

So even though the Thunder can offer the best package to the Bucks, if Giannis is determined to go to the Heat or another team, Oklahoma City will basically never see the Greek Freak arrive.
