What a ride it has been for the OKC Thunder organization, and their fans. In less than a year’s time, the team went from getting snapped away like Thanos capturing the final infinity stones.
Damian Lillard at the time seemed to have disintegrated the OKC Thunder’s future while catapulting the Blazer’s.
After a whirlwind of offseason transactions that saw GM Sam Presti part with beloved franchise pillar Russell Westbrook, and All-Star Paul George, fans were almost ready to simply embrace the tank.
If you polled OKC Thunder fans when the dust settled, prior to the start of the 2019-20 NBA Season, an overwhelming majority would’ve pegged them for an 8-10 seeded team scrapping and clawing for a playoff spot, before trading off pieces at the NBA Trade Deadline.
