Despite this setback, the Thunder still have a chance of making the postseason, especially considering that the Pelicans’ remaining schedule is more difficult than the Thunder’s. But even if the Thunder do take the eighth seed, they will face the Golden State Warriors in the first round, which is a series they have little chance of winning with their injuries to Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka. With this in mind, it may be time to start thinking about where this team goes from here. Specifically, what should the Thunder do in regards to their newest center, Enes Kanter?
Kanter is set to be a restricted free agent this upcoming off-season and will be looking for a significant, long-term contract.
