The OKC Thunder have been sent down a long, windy, and twisty road throughout this offseason. It started as a team set to run it back, then a team destined for a total rebuild with their hopes hanging on the bounce of a few ping pong balls to yet another turn. Can the team actually compete?
The Thunder shipped off Paul George to his hometown Clippers, franchise pillar Russell Westbrook was dealt to the Houston Rockets to team up with long-time friend and former teammate James Harden, and in return the Thunder got a ton of draft picks and a few player assets.
