The Oklahoma City Thunder were one of the biggest winners this offseason. Their Paul George bet paid off, they got out from under Carmelo Anthony's contract and received a usable player in return, and they should slot into the top half of the Western Conference.
So the result is a Thunder team that looks a lot like last year's bunch without the looming specter of George's free agency around their necks.
Dennis Schroder will come in and essentially be the team's new Reggie Jackson. Their skills sets and self-confidence are almost mirror images of one another.
