Analyzing Oklahoma City’s many different options heading into an exciting offseason of the championship window opening.
Oklahoma City’s impressive season ended in heartbreak on Saturday night, as PJ Washington drilled three free throws to send the Thunder home. Even though expectations changed over the course of the season, everything this young Thunder team was able to accomplish was impressive to say the least.
Now, heading into the offseason, Oklahoma City is one of the most intriguing teams to monitor. The roster is loaded with assets and management has a record number of draft picks in its back pocket. If there’s a team best positioned to make a splash move, it has to be the Thunder. On the other hand, though, Oklahoma City was the second youngest team in the NBA for a large majority of the season, netted the top seed and won a playoff series.
“I thought from a team standpoint we had what we needed to win this series, and we ran into a team that played better than we did. But I don't think that's an indictment on the roster. I don't think that's an indictment on any individual person or where we are. It's simply we could have played better in the series, but it wasn't an indictment on anything else.”
The Thunder currently owns the No. 12 pick in the NBA Draft, too. If there’s a prospect that the front office likes in the late lottery, it also makes sense to stand pat and let the current core continue trekking upwards.
