IS THIS START OF OKC THUNDER DYNASTY?Looks like everybody is already crowning the Thunder as the next NBA champions and predicting they're going to win 5 rings over the next decade. Pundits are even suggesting that teams like the Lakers should just be patient and hold onto… https://t.co/j5A7KYPCNi pic.twitter.com/WS3ULauf5T— LakerTom (@LakerTom) May 29, 2025
lol…Josh Giddey isn’t on the team anymore.
Assuming they advance, it would be a mistake to overlook the Pacers. But OKC is in a great spot. Among the countless Clipper woes, the PG for SGA trade was a doozy.
It will be interesting to see how they use all those picks. This year they have 14 guys on guaranteed contracts. They 5 with team options but 2 are Holgram and Williams and the 3rd is Wallace an important role player. They have 2 first and a 2nd. Not sure if they let the other two walk. This is a team with 3 stars so I don’t think they trade for another one because of the CBA. They could look to trade picks for future picks. In that case the Lakers should talk to them about our distant first. Or they could draft and stash foreign players. They will need to figure something out because they have than they can realistically use.
Nothing is guaranteed but they have the framework in place to be great for the next 5 years if they continue to make smart moves.
