OKC Thunder don’t need to tank to optimize draft picks return

The NBA season is suspended. Right now, we were supposed to be enjoying the first round of the NBA postseason and watching this scrappy OKC Thunder team in action. A team that was battling for home-court advantage on the day the season was suspended.

Instead, we are all amped up and counting down the hours until ESPN releases their documentary on the Chicago Bulls, The Last Dance.

There are a lot of positives to take from this season for the organization. I mean, outside of the suspension, there are zero negatives. You keep your playoff streak alive, you had a chance to host the first round, maybe even get out of the starting round for the first time since 2015-16.
