Reflections on the Thunder

[masonphillip]

The Thunder seem to have maybe the best base of YOUNG talent in the league. Durant, Green, Westbrook and Harden all seem to have bright futures ahead...will it matter?

Of course it matters. Kevin Durant is on the verge of taking over the league and they've done an amazing job of bringing in young talent for him to grow with so when it comes to contract time he'll want to stick around. I don't know that they'll be great this year, but I expect a serious improvement with them possibly fighting for a playoff spot at the end of the season.

Nice write up. I feel the Thunder is still a big man away from getting into the playoffs. They have a great young core, but rebounding will continue to trouble them

Although not the most glamorous position it certainly does seem like a necessity, that they are probably missing.

As far as the talent goes, plenty of teams both now and in the past have had oodles of talent yet gone nowhere at all. We'll see if they become a team.
