Easily a decade. The problem is, most that time will overlap with the Wemby Era. Spurs have a ton of picks, they just need to find a top level PF and a top level PG, and maybe Castle is going to be that who knows, and a good bunch of bench players and the Spurs are going to be toying the league.
@@ryanamburgy2791 Yes, but thing is, OKC is incredibly unlikely to have one of their picks turn into a player as good as Wemby, and the Spurs already have. Spurs just need to hit on half their picks the next three years to be dominant, because Wemby is that good.
The things that will stop an OKC dynasty- 1-not winning the first championship 2- over-paying role players 3- over-paying draft picks 4- poor coaching 5- cheap ownership 6- impatient fan base I could go on
Great breakdown - should really fund more Viewers! I just learned that due to the fact that 2nd apron teams farest future Draft picks will be frozen to be unreadable for a while. That literally shrinks the amount of total tradable draft picks leaguewide and increases the value of picks a team like the Thunder already posses. The same pick 7 years into the future might be had for a way cheaper price then let’s say 5 years when several teams enter 2nd apron repeater territory. What if the whole Presti Magic behind his pick hoarding is to never let go again of let’s say a top 3 warchest of picks over the next 15-20 years? There must be ways for well organized franchises in small(er) market teams to play for the title of the core is right for many years like the spurs were able to do. Presti made clear in his season opening interview that he has no doubt or in other words he expects Silver to have a solution for a smaller team like the Thunder to somehow compete with money printing Icons like the Lakers, who btw are somehow only barely profitable. Only a career altering injury to SGA or one of the core guys like Chet or Dub can convince me that there aren’t glory days down the road for this team. Presti and the people he placed all over this organization to grow by far the best front office / gym symbiosis in all American pro sports. ThunderUp⚡️
It Will Be IHart No Question .. Lu Is A Staple Now & His Offense Continues To Grow I Think It Will Be Hard To Keep Him But It Can Be Done .. We Can Honestly Draft IHart Replacement This Year With The Clippers Swap Inna Draft .. Also Sleeper Take Okc Mighy Get Cooper Flagg
@@FrmThaMontthat’s completely wrong. Bigs like Ihart are a dime in a dozen. Lu, although a great perimeter defender, isn’t as needed since the Thunder are so guard heavy.
@@fromzero2rirotv694 Even then, top 10 pick wouldn't be that bad considering how deep the draft is. In 2025, we have right to swap picks with rockets/clippers. We also have heat, 76ers, and jazz's (becomes 2026 pick if it falls into the top 10). We basically get clippers' first round picks from 2025 - 2028.
Considering the big extensions in a couple years, would giving Caruso $20 million a year for 4 years be wise? Especially as he’ll be getting further into his 30s.
The Giddey/Caruso trade was idiotic and all of you will find that out very soon. Watch what happens with Hartenstein out for the the first six weeks of the season. Without him to make up the difference in what they're losing going from Giddey to the much less talented Caruso you're going to see the difference.
Giddey definitely has a higher ceiling and is also gonna be a much better player than Caruso no question.. he's just gonna be a much better player in Chicago because he can be utilized the way he's supposed to be played
1 week in and the only difference I see is that OKC is much better defensively than last year. We’ve been playing constant small ball and we’re not getting destroyed on the glass like last year, even without IHart. Getting Caruso has absolutely been worth it, and I’m sure Chicago fans feel the same about Giddey so far. Both teams won this trade.

For How Long Can This OKC Team Contend?

@@tribalypredisposed the thing is Spurs have picks, OKC has talent AND picks.

@@tribalypredisposed Chet will be one of the only players that can kinda guard Wemby at least.

thanks man!
Great Deep Dive and analysis! Sam Presti Goating as usual
thanks mate!
I agree.. Letting go of Dort or Ihart in a few years will almost be inevitable due to salary cap issues
It Will Be IHart No Question .. Lu Is A Staple Now & His Offense Continues To Grow I Think It Will Be Hard To Keep Him But It Can Be Done .. We Can Honestly Draft IHart Replacement This Year With The Clippers Swap Inna Draft .. Also Sleeper Take Okc Mighy Get Cooper Flagg
@@FrmThaMontdrafting Cooper Flagg will be a big hypothetical.. still depends on the Clippers being really bad as well as the lottery luck

Another excellent video
glad you appreciate it man!
I love your breakdowns!
thanks man!!
Imagine if Thunder draft Aj Dybantsa next year. Having Baby Giannis next to this young core would be insane
3 blowout win.okc is scary
true!

We should probably be expecting a discount but that depends on negotiations for sure
Sam is the GOAT
Thunder the F up!!

Hot take: SGA is better now than Durant was in 2012 so this team is better.
@@BestShootermanUbz maybe in a couple years Shai will be better
@@chuckcheesy6325 in a couple of years Wemby will run the West, they need Prime SGA asap

Giddey wants 30 mill a season there’s no way

ik bro did not just say giddey is more talented than alex caruso
Prime Wemby about to ruin everything sadly
@@arturbellini6184 Thunder about to win the chip before Wemby owns the league
@@chuckcheesy6325 I think so, but they need to pass for Luka, Jokic and this Celtics team. Not a easy task
Prime? He’s 20 years old lol.
@@baxoutthebox5682 talking about 2028 and beyond. Not even this OKC core has hit there prime yet. We're in Jokic/Celtics era.
