Non-Mortem: Oklahoma City Thunder

[Optms]

Stay the course and expect more crying about Shai next year and how unfair it is he does anything. Embrace the shade.

This OKC team could become a dynasty. Their inexperienced showed during their playoff run but they persevered and that concern should be behind them next season. From here on out it's about managing egos, preserving team unity, developing young players to replace older role players and try to keep this train running for as long as they can. If Presti does it right and if ownership gives him what he needs he could potentially have this team in the top tier for a long time.

Keep, keep, as expected, improving.

The greatest trade of all time. Second greatest is trading Giddey for Caruso.

They remind me of the 1980s Edmonton Oilers, led by Gretzky but with a cast of young stars including Messier and other future HOFers, and a young coach in Sather.

You really expected they be so dominant winning by historical point differential regular season big time without bigs, without second and third banana(both from same draft exactly 3 years ago)? Do not trust anyone who expected something like that even with Caruso and Hart(both missed time in season) there

Well, the team did win 57 games without Hartenstein and Caruso last season.

As expected is a bit much though I agree, I had them at around 63 wins before the season began, and had them reaching the WCF.

Plenty of people were very high on the Thunder though, as people expected internal growth from Jalen and Chet, and adding two savvy vets in Caruso and Hartenstein would deepen their rotation by a whole lot.

Team basically skipped a step this season, my actual title aspirations were aimed at next season.

I have no idea what Presti will do next summer, but we have our chip now, so I really care about things a lot less moving forward lol.

So J-Dub played the last two months with an injured wrist (that he just had surgery on) and never complained once about it. League might genuinely be **** next year.
