they have tons of wings/guards. some might relegate to OKC blue team

Chet is lit this summer league! another great performance against Indy (25 pts, 9 rebs, 5 blocks)
at one point, OKC has to consolidate their assets (young players and pickSSS) and swing for the fences. trade them for stars or starting caliber veterans and make a run for the west. aside from denver and memphis, the other west contenders such as the warriors, lakers, suns, clippers, have an aging and battered core. okc's time might be sooner rather than later.
And to think that they were so, so bad 2 years ago (73-point loss and other similar beatings, remember?). Is an OKC era similar to what it had during the Durant-WB-Harden on the horizon?
surely they learned their lesson.. giddey, SGA and chet as the new big 3 for them.. they have good talents surrounded around those 3..
Yeah, their rebuild sure is paying off. I just hope that they get to retain most of their key guys in the long run and not go the way of their predecessors.

20 year old Ousmane Dieng is having a solid summer league stint. In the last 3 games he has scored 13, 13 and 22 points respectively and averaging 31 minutes in Summer League play.
I recalled last year he was being bashed here by the Sotto-natics, claiming he won’t get drafted and not as good as Sotto.

i don't think any of their players will be as good as durant WB harden were back then but this OKC team projects to be deeper especially if okc chooses to cash in on their picks and young assets.
it would also be interesting to see how micic fits in since OKC has a ton of guards right now.
and its not yet done, they still have 33 future draft picks until 2029!, with 15 1st rd picks (with some of them having minimal lottery protection) they'll have great moveable assets moving forward
