Finished. Oklahoma City Thunder is your 2025 NBA champion.
Question Now: Will they be your next NBA dynasty?
Sam presti is a genius. Gregg Popovich told us this A long time ago, and the pop, in front of him, even when he sees it, he knows.
Everything started as a referee in the Spurs Youth Basketball Camp a few years after the 6-meter 6-meter watchman transferred colleges, because he loved the music program of Emerson.
San Antonio brought Tony Parker to Seattle to Kevin Durant, to Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Paul George to Oklahoma City.
Parker has produced headaches of the championships and Durant, but even in Prestti, the reality of Westbrook, Harden and George has emerged in the ability to choose the nine first rounds of the future.
Thunder has never been. But this is about to change… Maybe great time.
If Oklahoma City is not only a ten -year success facing her face, but also the press enters three acers – if a royal hopes to develop to the flush, perhaps the biggest team of all time.
As you can see, Thunder this year Clippers, Heat and probably the first round elections from the 76s; Rockets in 2026, clippers and probably jazz; 2027 bullion; In 2028 from Mavericks (with a possible choice); Another Nuggets in 2029; And in the next five years, up to 12 second rounds.
Forget Thunder’s first round elections for a minute. If he gave these 21 elections to two expansion teams, he would be a contestant in two years.
Can you do it? No, don’t remove the elections – rather, try to upgrade from three aspects.
Before the banner is upgraded, the press must realize that it has reached a three -round fork on the road. Here are his options …
Trust the system
Thunder was built using a bright trade (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams), some smart draft elections (Chet Holmren, Jaylin Williams and Aaron Wiggins), a few Screwed Gazi signatures (Isaiah Harusstein and Alex-Lus). To paint a masterpiece.
At least everyone signed during the next season, with the ability to add a cheap one or two veterans and probably the ability to choose three first rounds in each of the next two drafts, Thunder has every reason to believe that the slow and fixed approach continues to set out. They can then use the choices to fill the holes.
So how is the team better? Thunder may not have to develop – but they will have luck. On Sunday, Caruso (30) is only 26 years old than 10 men who scored a dramatic 92-87 win.
Repeat before committing
NBA has become six champions in the last six years. Thunder would be seventh. A year after a title, none of the champions who defended the second round of Celtics, which could be wounded a year later, even made the conference finals. One (Lakers) was lost in the first round, and the other four (Raptors, Bucks, Warriors and Nuggets) were bounced on Tour 2.
In other words, we look at a period of accompanying in the NBA, not dynasties. At least until Victor wembanyama grows.
Therefore, although the presti wants to reward this year’s crew with the opportunity to repeat the crew, he says that this will not happen recent history.
The problem is not, because unlike the previously charged defending champions, Thunder does not go anywhere, even if the season ends without hardware.
Still, a security network would be nice. Thunder can handle all three of the first round elections this year for the next year’s elections in the draft. This will give them the ability to packing six first round partners and a potential superstar rookie (or a few heavyweight to fill the unexpected holes in 2026.
Be greedy
Bulls won in 1991, 1992 and 1993 – but without the addition of Dennis Rodman, there would be no dynasty.
Warriors seized the crown in 2015, then won 73 matches in 2016 – but five straight trips to the NBA finals (which resulted in three championships) before Durant arrived.
Sometimes it is not enough to be the best. Hanging a poster brings greater expectations: to be the best of the best.
Thunder has this opportunity.
Imagine that SGA, Holmgren and Jalen Williams have chosen the 10 future first rounds to shoot in Cooper Flagg, as it is located in the coming years. Or a handful to go to number 2 and grab Dylan Harper. Or, Giannis, LeBron or Joel Embiid’i to attract Hartenstein’s great agreement with the great choice.
Can you imagine Flagg or Giannis with that crew… Maybe for the next decade? Move, bulls. Pull aside, fighters.
The opportunity is now. The press may think big …
Or the risk of being a lakers.
