Oklahoma City Thunder, continuity to legitimize themselves in paradise

Revalidating the NBA title has become a mission impossible in recent years. Oklahoma City Thunder has plenty of arguments to believe they will end this streak of eight consecutive years with different champions, having kept the group that reigned last season with astonishing superiority.

The window of opportunity is wide open and it must be maximized. Oklahoma City Thunder is aware of how difficult it is nowadays to create winning dynasties, due to the impossibility of economically sustaining a championship team, as well as the reigning competition. They have this season to enjoy what they have achieved with a similar group and, therefore, strive for a new title. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will want to prove he can maintain his level of excellence, it is expected that Chet Holmgren continues to grow and improves his fit with Hartenstein, while Lu Dort and Jaylen Williams ensure a luxurious starting five.

But most importantly for the Oklahoma City Thunder is that they have also managed to retain the key pieces of the second unit. Wallace, Joe, Caruso, Wiggins, and Williams will continue to be crucial in a team joined by Nikola Topic, the 12th pick of the 2024 Draft who will debut in the NBA after recovering from the serious injury that kept him out the entire last season. Many dream that he performs at the same level as Holmgren did in a similar context, which would further increase the ring chances of the top contenders and guarantee a better time horizon for the franchise.
