Can we imagine a world where OKC not only makes the playoffs, but avoids the play-in? I could see them passing Utah and Dallas, but they might get passed by LAC and GS. Today's Lowe Post spends some time talking OKC. I came away thinking their future is bright. More than that, I came away thinking they have a plan.
I've been saying this for awhile now. OKC is not an easy out. And in the future they are scary.
They have SGA, Giddey, Lu Dort, and a rehabbing Chet. They have a roster of 20-23 year olds they could trade. Not to mention a treasure chest of picks.
They could add anyone they want without touching their core.
If and when they get serious, the West is in trouble.
They are a team that could trade for Siakam AND OG right now. And not touch their core.
i'm glad they arent tanking. If they were to add Wemby or Scoot to what they have, it'll get ugly fast.
