The rebuild for the OKC Thunder started prior to the 2019-20 season. They made the Paul George with the LA Clippers trade which netted them Danilo Gallinari, a plethora of draft picks, and, the most important piece of the trade, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
He spent all of last season playing alongside one of the greatest point guards of all time, Chris Paul. This was a fantastic apprenticeship for Gilgegous-Alexander to have, He was able to learn so much from the Point God that he is going to speed the rebuild along.
