USA Today’s For The Win’s Bryan Kalbrosky took out his highlighter and handed out a grade for all 30 NBA team’s offseason thus far in an article that dropped on Tuesday.
While there are still big dominos to fall, the busiest days of the offseason are behind as the NBA calendar flips to the slowest time of the year. Barring something huge, right now is an appropriate time to reflect and give thoughts on the offseason.
That includes the Oklahoma City Thunder who received an “A” grade.
“I’m head-over-heels about Oklahoma City’s offseason. They now have three guys who could be All-Stars with Chet Holmgren now in the mix alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.
This is a team with extraordinary length and ball-handling ability, and while they’re incredibly talented, they’re not ready to contend quite yet. That means they could add yet another top prospect in the 2023 NBA Draft.”
Besides the draft, the Thunder also extended Lu Dort and Kenrich Williams to long-term deals along with bringing back Mike Muscala on the veteran’s minimum.
