  • We are witnessing a better OKC Thunder team than before. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are making a push at being better than the previous Thunder Trio of Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and James Harden. The comparisons aren't too far off with these OKC Thunder teams and we are witnessing the better one currently. Do you think we are witnessing a better OKC Thunder team than before?

    I been saying that this Thunder team is much more well put together than the 2012 team and they have a system the 2012 team was just athletic wings who can’t shoot watching KD and Russ take turns isolating

      The most underrated aspect of the old team and the current is the coaches. Scott Brooks was not great but solid…I think our current coach is a huge upgrade with a ‘real’ system in place. But I appreciate what Brooks did!🎉

    Okc has been fun to watch for the last years. Even moves that "don't make sense", in the long-run make sense, so I am excited to see how it all works out. When they chose Dort, I knew they saw gold, and he is gold.

    This team isn't in the same category as the team with KD, Russ, Harden and Ibaka. That was the only team in the history of the NBA with 3 MVP level players on it. That's never happened and I don't think will ever happen again and Presti blew what would have clearly been a dynasty by trading Harden which will go down as arguably the stupidest trade in history. I like this current team a lot but yeah, not even close. Also Wemby is going to win ROTY so I don't know where this guy came up with that. Chet is fantastic though.

That team went to 4 out of 6 western conferences at the same time Tim Duncan, Kobe, Dirk, prime CP3 were all in the league and had to face Miami Bron. This team might not even beat Gobert and KAT let alone the champs lol. Let’s not make comparisons for comparisons sake.

    Presti is no longer trying to build a Championship Team. He is trying to build a self reloading dynasty. When he gets 4 max players he will be forced to trade one of them for multiple First Round picks...which will give him a chance to draft more future max players which will force him to trade one again, etc.

    SGA is probably pretty close to the player KD was back then, but SGA is a bit older. Jalen Williams is probably better than Harden was before Harden got traded, but a lot of that is the reduced role Harden had as a sixth man player. Chet is obviously a lot better than Ibaka, even if he is still adjusting to the game physically. Dort is a borderline starter, but he has played better offensively this season and is definitely better than Perkins was. The old team also had Westbrook though, who was another star. I think the biggest difference is that this new team has much better depth with their role players (Joe, Wallace, Kenrich, and Wiggins), and the team has better synergy, whereas the old team was more just a force of nature with overwhelming talent. I will say that it is possible that Cason Wallace is flying a little under the radar currently because he is a rookie. But he does not play like a rookie and is performing very well in a limited role. It is also possible that Gordon Hayward makes them more dangerous in the playoffs if he's healthy and plays like his old self, but that is a big if. Giddey took a step backwards this season, which has been disappointing.

OKC have 3 all-star. The back up playing amazing n Olmos each players of the Back up have 10 point if they playing like that together they going to win the championship. Each players era importan to win n to have a championship rings each players to make history n memory.

    It seems criminal that socalled basketball experts would rate greg oden over kevin durant. I remember oden was seen as a player with lots of promise, but he had real physical issues, in comparison, durant for years, long before his historical freshman season at texas had the potential to be all time player.
    It's essy, presti would have drafted both durant and holmgren first. Both men are quintessential versions of what presti wants in nba player.
    True genius was his evaluation of SGA.
