The unfortunate reality that comes with being a team that has not only held as many draft picks as the OKC Thunder, but also acquires a slew of quality talents through such means is that they eventually become incapable of holding onto the majority of prospects that come their way.
From eventual superstars and MVPs like James Harden to rising stud youngsters such as Tre Mann, throughout the years, Oklahoma City has parted ways with a ton of players who have gone on to reach enviable heights in their playing careers.
Of course, not all departees find themselves reaping the rewards of post-Thunder tenure success.
