The Thunder made a decision last offseason to begin a rebuilding process. That resulted in just their second trip to the lottery in the past 12 seasons, but Oklahoma City is now in a position -- with young players, draft picks and roster flexibility -- to sustain long-term success.
The offseason starts with the July draft, and we will see what direction Oklahoma City goes in with a league-high six picks.
From there, the Thunder will focus on the rookie extension of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and explore multiple options on how to use each one of their four trade exceptions, which range from $27.3 million to $10 million.
