The Oklahoma City Thunder have a ton of future first-round picks and a war chest of assets, and many think Sam Presti can pull off any more he wants. Victor Wembanyama is one of the NBA’s biggest prizes, which made the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery so exciting. Ultimately, the San Antonio Spurs landed Wembanyama in the Lottery. This led the folks at ESPN (Paywall) to drum up hypothetical trades for the generational big man to see if there is a world where he gets moved. What would it take?
The OKC Thunder have the 12th overall pick entering the 2023 NBA Draft, including the 37th and 50th picks in the second round and four first-round picks in the 2024 draft, and that is just scratching the surface of picks without even touching the young talent already on the Oklahoma City roster.
