Offseason emphasis on building the OKC Thunder bench mob is essential

The OKC Thunder have a dilemma. They rank among the highest priced teams in the NBA, a natural factor given they boast two superstars with huge contracts to go along with their talent. But, it’s not just Russell Westbrook ($38,506,482) and Paul George ($33,005,556) who are eating up the payroll. Nine other players are locked in including Steven Adams who will earn $25,842,697 and Dennis Schroder is slated to earn $15,500,000. Those four players alone will cost the OKC Thunder $112,854,734.00 which is already enough to put the team over the threshold.
