Over the last week or so, we have heard a fair few pundits line up and take a swing at the Thunder’s rebuilding process. All of the criticisms has been along the lines of ‘the Thunder are ruining SGA’s career’ or ‘the Thunder’s rebuild is a black eye for the league’. Everything that has been said is misguided or genuine garbage.
I will lay out brick by brick why the Thunder’s process is no different to what has happened elsewhere around the NBA. All of these hot-takes are overly dramatic and have very little grounding in reality.
