OKC Thunder: Matt’s Monday Musings, Edition One

Where to Now for the OKC Thunder?

This question has troubled me since a certain forward went over to the dark side last summer. Westbrook is a superstar, putting up incredible numbers all season and carrying the Thunder on his back.

Steven Adams has improved out of sight over the past few years and has formed a bond with Westbrook which is amazing to watch. Adams is the key to the defense of the Thunder and is showing good signs of life offensively.

Victor Oladipo is already establishing himself as a pivotal part of the Thunder offense. Andre Roberson is a fantastic defender who is improving his offense.

Must Read: What should the Thunder do now?

Domantas Sabonis is improving and will be a good player for the Thunder for years to come. With Kanter off the bench, the Thunder need a good point guard to move the ball on offense when Westbrook is sitting down.

If the OKC Thunder do this, then Cameron Payne can move to his more natural position as a two guard. If the ball moves more then Kanter becomes more dangerous. I am not sure if this means that the Thunder will compete for the title next season but they will improve again.

All in all, this trade has been fantastic for the OKC Thunder. To actually get a player who has been as good as Kanter for a player who was out the door was a masterstroke.
