It is 100% scary what they've accomplished, and they can string this along for a very long time. Of course you can't stand pat, but, Cool, isn't that exactly how OKC accumulated this treasure trove? Teams didn't want to stand pat, were impatient, and made stupid moves when they weren't there yet. The Wolves made their big move with Gobert. Now TC has to be very calculated on how he utilizes the limited remaining assets. Honestly, I'm unsure how to feel about his decision making moving forward after this past off-season.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 18, 2025 11:32 amThis is why we can't stand pat.

OKC has three 1st rd picks next season.
OKC has two 1st rd. picks in '27.
So they're better positioned than the Wolves to get even better. And they have a younger, more talented roster already. For example, I think guys like Chet Holmgren or Cason Wallace would be much better in a year or two. EVERYONE is locked in contractually for next season and J. Williams and Holmgren are locks to be extended the year after that.
Keep the gang together... or... start trading assets for a bigger fish in the pond. Either way, no NBA team is in as good of shape as the Thunder are. It's actually sorta scary.
The NBA can start re-alignment any time... please.
Traded 2 firsts to go get Dillingham who is clearly not ready, and physically outmatched.
If the Detroit pick did not convey, then I would say that the KAT trade was a complete disaster instead of just a disaster after seeing what Bridges and Bane got in return.
Now he wants to ship off more assets for an older player in KD who he will never be able to flip for equal or more value than he sends out?
He is like the anti-Presti.
Our superstar is young 23(maybe he's 24 now, idk?) But he is going about this all wrong in my opinion. Get the guy some more damn people to grow with; not guys to watch crawl across the finish line.
