The OKC Thunder aren't only in control their own destiny, but also that of the LA Clippers.
As a result of the 2019 blockbuster trade that sent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to the Sooner State, Oklahoma City finds itself in possession of Los Angeles' upcoming 2026 first-round draft pick.
With this, coupled with the fact that they are currently 12-21 and reside in the 11 seed in the Western Conference standings, it appears that this pick is destined to net the Thunder yet another lottery selection in this June's festivities.
In reality, it appears that all hope of a successful season for the Clippers is lost.
