The overhaul of the OKC Thunder this past offseason primarily focused on the trades of Paul George and Russell Westbrook. The trade of those two superstars returned three players who became starters.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chris Paul and Danilo Gallinari joined Steven Adams along with a defensive guard/forward as the impetus for the starting rotation. The clutch time lineup features the above quartet along with Dennis Schroder. Both units have exceeded expectations, particularly the closing clutch time lineup.
Additionally, the trade of George and Westbrook set up the OKC Thunder future with seven draft picks jettisoned from LA (five picks and two swaps) and four from Houston (two picks and two swaps).
