With the 2019 NBA offseason coming to an end, it’s time to take a look at five bold predictions for the OKC Thunder this upcoming season
The 2018-2019 NBA season for the OKC Thunder was yet another let down that resulted in a first-round exit for the third straight year.
As a result of this, Paul George (with the help of Kawhi Leonards recruitment) requested a trade to the Los Angeles Clippers and Russell Westbrook was traded to the Houston Rockets in hopes of competing for a championship next season.
There will be quite a few new faces on the OKC Thunder next season, with potentially three positions in the starting lineup being replaced (point guard, shooting guard, power forward) by additions over the summer. However, OKC is not done rebuilding yet and still have players like Chris Paul and Danilo Gallinari that could be shipped off for additional assets next season.
The Thunder are setting the table for a rebuild, but that’s not happening yet. You can’t rebuild the house until you’ve torn it down and they’re still in the process of that. They believe they could be competitive for a playoff spot next season with CP3, Adams and Gallinari.
