The Oklahoma City Thunder are in town tonight, as the Charlotte Hornets will have the first-hand chance to salivate at the future of a franchise that once had Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden all in uniform.
After making the playoffs in nine of the past ten years, the Thunder had to move on and build towards the future. They traded Russell Westbrook and Paul George during the off-season, acquiring a future Hall of Famer in Chris Paul, a young star in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a boatload of draft picks.
