So, Who in The NBA STOPS The OKC Thunder Now?

#NBA #OklahomaCityThunder
The OKC Thunder were the top seed in the Western Conference and they look even stronger after their NBA offseason moves. The Thunder just signed big man Isaiah Hartenstein to a 3-year 87 million deal just a week after Sam Presti and the OKC front office acquired defensive all-NBA guard Alex Caruso in exchange for Josh Giddey. The NBA draft has also been a strong area for the Thunder after they selected potential draft steal Nikola Topic with the 12th overall pick. With a core that already features NBA superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, unicorn big man Chet Holgmgren, borderline all-star Jalen Williams, and lockdown specialist Lu Dort, OKC’s roster looks built for a potential NBA championship next season. But what will Hartenstein and Caruso bring to Oklahoma City?
Okc also made significant roster moves by signing high-level role players Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins to long-term deals before the Hartenstein signing. The NBA offseason has been exciting. We’ve seen the Mavs land Klay Thompson, Paul George to the 76ers, Chris Paul to the Spurs, and even the much talked about Bronny James to the Lakers. But the Thunder’s additions are some of the best in the entire league. Will OKC now be considered championship favorites for next season? This could be an NBA dynasty waiting to happen specially with all the draft assets Sam Presti has accumulated throughout the years.
The Alex Caruso and Josh Giddey trade as well as the Isaiah Hartenstein signing is a big win for the Thunder but could they make some other moves this offseason? Is this enough to put them on top of the West again ahead of contenders like Luka Doncic and the Mavs, Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, or Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves. Can Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and this OKC Thunder core go head to head with defending champions Boston Celtics. There’s no one that’s having a better offseason than the Thunder for sure.

When I stepped in this chat and said OKC was the next dynasty about 4 months ago, I was laughed out of the room. I saw what the best GM in the game was assembling... now with 16 more first round picks and a ton of second rounders and pick swaps, who can stop us? We can get whoever we want, are in a perfect salary cap situation, and have the best young coach in the NBA. Who's laughing now?

[@reubengray6026]

Usually, dynasty talk starts after a team has won a championship. Let OKC at least make it to the WCF before you heap all of these expectations on them. Thunder is on the same trajectory as the Boston Celtics had been on before they won this year. And even then, there were still people out there questioning whether they could actually do it.

[@martincala2669]

go get LUKA, The truth is you cant get who ever you want

[@Chuckfromthe904]

@reubengray6026 I agree, but OKC is constructed to literally be the best roster for the next 10 years, maybe more. Remember, I said this months ago. When you have the best coach, GM, medical staff, and arguably the best young player supported by an amazing young core with salary cap space still, while owning the competitions first round picks, the expectations are here. Now they have to deliver.

[@SonnyK248]

Hartenstein was grabbing eight boards a night coming off the bench last season so that will really come in handy. That's basically what Chet was doing as a starter so having him just as a back up big could double our rebounding output in that position. Also our team flopped massively last season with Chet off the floor. We need reliable cover for him. And finally it just gives us options. I think Shai, Chet, J Dub and Dort are going to start every game when healthy. But if we're playing a team like Dallas then we can start Caruso and we can set him and Dort on Kyrie and Luka and that will give them serious problems. But if we have Minnesota or Denver we start with Hartenstein and have Chet at the 4 and we have serious rim protection for their bigger guys. Basically we have a lineup for teams who's best players are 6'9 or under and we have a lineup for teams who's best guys are bigs. Having this much quality and depth on one team should be illegal but I'm here for it 😂

[@joeldriver-sp2rg]

Give Presti credit for finally getting a big man but at the same time recognize he gave away Sengun and Lively and either one of those guys, most specifically Sengun who averaged 21/9/5 last year, would be better than Hartenstein because they're more skilled overall players. Losing Giddey is going to really hurt because he was an integral part of their success but they have enough offense with SGA, Chet and JDub to offset what they're losing there. You're all going to see how good Giddey really is in the next few years though.

[@riroballs]

I think the problem with Sengun is that he's not really a good defensive big man although he tries for sure. Still wanted the Thunder to draft him back in 2021 btw

[@joeldriver-sp2rg]

@@riroballs They did draft him and gave him away. He will be an all star. When you average 21 points and 5 assists you're defense can be a bit subpar.

Eh a few teams if chet isn't a much bigger factor come playoffs. He struggled offensively for sure last yr in the playoffs, which I do think he will be much better and think ihart will help take a lot of burden off him down low. I still want to see the thunder go get Bobby portis solid role player with length and range off the bench but more importantly experience and a fiery infectious hustle game off the bench. I am not sure jazz will trade Lauri but now that the thunder signed ihart.....how does Lauri fit is he even a good trade target for okc now? Yould you bring ihart off the bench and go chet Lauri at 4,5 or fo you put Lauri at 3 and move dort and Caruso to off the bench?

[@Urukgali]

That would be Shai, Dort, JDub, Lauri and Chet starting. Then we would have absolutely killer 2nd unit. However I believe that Utah set too big price for Lauri. They want to get as many draft picks or/and young promising players in exchange which is probably unacceptable by Presti. The good thing is that Jazz should trade him away in order to have high draft pick next year when Flagg is on the board. It means that their demands might drastically change by the end of trade deadline or mid season. If they don't trade him away, that's a big mistake IMO. So we will see. It might be so, that Presti is just waiting for them to be more reasonable and then will go all in but I think more probably is that we go like this or add some minor signing.

100% OKCs rebuild has been built in an elite team defence. Reminiscent of the warriors small ball dynasty . The thunder work their asses off . But their leap from a .500 team last year to a 1 seed has everyone sucking them off as a new western powerhouse and I’m sorry but you’re all delusional . Charles Barkley guarantees 25 wins a season if you just compete every night. You don’t have to be good you just have to try. Then you have add have a pass first pg getting everyone involved making jalen Williams a target and SGA is given a green light as a scorer SG becoming an all star. So now you are a good team and make the play in and you did this without an injured Chet who was hoped to be the missing piece because you are one of the worst rebounding teams in history. So now have some rebounding and some rim protection making you even better at defending but you completely change your offence to allow this toothpick to jack up 3s and iso at the top of the key like he’s KD and your all star shooting guard is now wanting more ball so you give him non stop Kobe level iso moving him to PG because rebounding is still a problem so you get the only person willing to do it who is was a PG and you mismanage him as a rebounding small forward then have the nerve ask him to do shitty lesser role to devalue him in his 3rd year cause you don’t wanna pay him. Yet Somehow this ridiculous 5 out ISO offence got them 20 more wins … in the regular season .. and playing like the warriors does work in this day and age …but okc are not the warriors and winning in a conference that was arguably at its weakest point in recent history with most teams losing 500 or below and the nuggets and wolves playing most of the season without Murray and kat make the thunder massive over acheivers and the got found out in the playoffs and ended in a more accurate 4TH place bundled out by a team who plays zero defence who then couldn’t even muster up 90 points in finals games in one of the worst performances on the. big stage you will ever see .

As far as this coming season they have no chance against the Mavs. Shai has no help whatsoever. It was embarrassingly obvious in that series. Caruso and Hartenstein don’t change that. Great regular season team for sure though

@healthfadsfade The mavs think they are so much better because they got Klay. Did you forget he shot 0/10 in his last game 🤣🤣🤣. Okc has the most talented team in the league no other team has 6 to 7 good players coming off the bench

Well see

@@Rj20 They were all LOST and waiting on Shai to do something when they played the Mavs. All fans pull this b.s. I´m about to pull but The mavs shoulda won in 5. OKC just isn´t on the same level.

Mavs. Again.

[@Joeshiesty286]

Mavs still better 😂

[@keltongonzales8514]

The Dallas Mavericks thats who.

You all are dreaming and probably shaking in your boots off camera/mic. I do believe this seals the deal for OKC❤🎉.
