Now that the dust has settled from Paul George’s wonderful decision to stay loyal to the Oklahoma City Thunder who so brazenly traded for him before the start of last season with no guarantees, it’s time to have a look over the Thunder roster and see where the improvement will come from in the quest for an NBA Championship.
The uncertainty that has now disappeared with PG13’s long term commitment will undoubtedly help, as will another off-season of bonding and pre-season of chemistry. The Thunder lost more than a handful of games last year by single digits on “clunky” late game situations – so you’d expect those to be an anomaly moving forward and the statistics will balance themselves out.
