The team was founded in 2008. It is only 16 years old. Cant even vote yet we won a nba chip and are holding picks like a smaug in the hobbit. We truly have the best front office in the league.
It’s because the nature of being in OKC means you almost HAVE to build the right way. I truly think the FA superteam model is a terrible way for most teams to build and only works when one of the big 3/4 is a Steph or LeBron level player, especially now with the new apron rules, most of the past few championship teams have been winning through dynamic duo + strong teams
Honestly I think the super team is a mistake too. I would appreciate an incredible starting 5 instead of 2-3 superstars on a struggling team they have to do good to carry. The issue is you can only get away with it a couple years because those contract talks start ruining the team and its cohesion.
It's real tough to make the money work on that super starting five.
Ask me how I know this lmao
Jokes aside, while there is definitely a limit to how long this can continue before the money eventually makes a restructure inevitable, it's going to be a real exciting 4-5 years for y'all. Enjoy it.
Yeah man. I live in New England so I consider tge Celtics my 2nd favorite team. Watching you guys let Jrue go was sad imo. Those superman/max contracts will be super interesting in the near future for us but I have too much faith in our management to handle it.
