Can't believe no one here cares about the NBA anymore???
As a Thunder fan, I realize we are in a rebuilding phase now, could take 3-4 years. But... we've cleared a ton of cap space and have like 15 1st round picks over the next 6 years in addition to our own (at least 2 of which are protected picks dealt to ATL, I think).
But it's been a hell of an offseason already. AD to LAL, Kawhi and PG13 to LAC, Russ to HOU... Whiteside to the Blazers? The Warriors losing KD and dealing Iguadala? Lotsa moves, lotsa good prospects for new dominance in the West.
I am excited to see this season, even though I know the Thunder won't likely be contenders. I do hope we deal CP3 somewhere else for more picks, honestly. Hopefully before he ever dons a Thunder jersey - I just think he's well past his prime, numbers on the decline, minutes and games played are way down, and yet he's more injury-prone than ever. I don't want to see us paying him $40M in another 3 years. <sigh>
