Plus all the random picks they have in the future.
Imagine if they were based in a city like Seattle???
OKC is incredibly intriguing. SGA is a guy you can absolutely build a contender around. Dort developing into a premier defender would have been a win on its own but his offensive development gives them another core piece. The Moses Brown development this year may be one of the most overlooked in the NBA.
Then you look at some guys that are getting big minutes now and the value they have when they are eventually pushed down the rotation; guys like Roby, Jerome, Williams, Bazley and Mykhailiuk. Then of course their two rookie Euros in Maledon and Poku.
And the ultimate wildcard is the huge expiring Horford will be in 2022-23 coupled with all those picks.
Will be interesting to see who they retain from their current roster over the next couple of years, what they do with all those picks and the Horford contract in the next couple of years, and how they utilize their cap space either with a FA or by adding value as a facilitating team to a bigger deal.
They could make a compelling offer for Beal or Lavine to form a dynamite backcourt with SGA and still have plenty of ammo left to fill out their front court and add an ace bench scorer. Will be fun to watch how the next few years play out to the north.
