And they have all the draft ammo in the world to get better. And they have Sam Presti.
The West is changing with stars like Durant, Lebron, Steph, and Kawhi aging out. I truly believe the battle for the West in last half of this decade will be OKC vs. Mavs. vs. San Antonio. The Lakers will always find a way to compete, even after Lebron. I think the Suns, Clippers, and Warriors are screwed. Jokic is "only" 29 but how long will that body hold up. I think Denver has another few years of being upper echelon.
OKC is a juggernaut of a franchise/roster. Unlimited resources to get better. Mavs have Luka/Lively and then its San Antonio with Wemby. This guy is special and wait til they start building around him. Its happening in the next few years.
I find it interesting you left out Memphis and Houston, two teams already at the top of the West. They aren't going anywhere.
