If we are being honest about the OKC Thunder

[The Q]

The West will run through the Wolves for at least the next 15 years

If I was nba czar this would absolutely true

OKC still hasn't won a title though.

Moving on from him wasn't a mistake. However, the return for him in that trade was meh at best and they failed to keep Durant (the real failure).

Harden isn't a championship piece in a big role IMO. He's modded his game a bit of late now that the refs don't take his bait constantly, but he's also fallen off a bit.

Russ and Harden together would freeze out the rest of the team.

They thought they had Durant up to the very last second. Water under the bridge. The team they are building now is going to be much better than any of those teams.

Hopefully, depends on the follow through and sorting through these prospects to separate the keepers from the trade capital. Need to hit on those trades too.

Shai, Jdub and Chet are the guys you have to keep obviously. Honestly I think right now this team is better than any of those teams because they truly are a team. Presti failed to put shooters around Durant, now they have a team of shooters.

Still, Durant got to the finals. Until that happens, they aren't on the same level with that team.
