The Thunder’s season ended earlier than hoped, but for most teams in the NBA a 49-win campaign and a postseason berth would be considered a successful year. With the loss in the first round of the playoffs, however, the Thunder’s attention turns towards the offseason and the myriad of ways the team aims to improve itself, both through internal and external means.
From the NBA Draft to Summer League to free agency and player-run workouts over the next few months, the Thunder will have opportunities to come back in 2019-20 an even better bunch. Below are some key dates to be aware of as a Thunder fan:
---
Tuesday May 14 through Sunday May 20 – NBA Draft Combine (Chicago)
Thursday June 20 – NBA Draft (Brooklyn)
- Note: The Thunder holds one pick, the #21 overall selection (first round)
Monday June 24 - NBA Awards (Los Angeles)
Monday July 1 – NBA Free Agency begins
Friday July 5 through Monday July 15 – NBA Summer League (Las Vegas)
- Note: The Thunder’s exact Summer League schedule has not been announced, but it is likely that Hamidou Diallo, Deonte Burton and the Thunder’s 2018 and 2019 draft selections will compete for the Thunder’s squad in Las Vegas.
