According to their record, the Oklahoma City Thunder finished the 2016-17 season as the sixth-best team in the Western Conference. The damning part of this equation, however, is that Oklahoma City boasts MVP-Finalist Russell Westbrook and was still unable to make a postseason push.
There was a conspicuous lack of aid to Westbrook’s historic cause.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, moving forward, the Thunder absolutely need a true second-scoring option. That stated, there is no better solution to remedy OKC’s ails than Blake Griffin, who hits the free-agency market this summer.
