It would appear that the Oklahoma City Thunder have started the process of rebuilding their team. The Oklahoma City Thunder were awarded the No. 10 seed in the play-in tournament as a result of the Dallas Mavericks’ loss against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.
The most astounding aspect is the fact that they managed it with an average age of 22.8 years old among their members.
Just try to picture how Luka Doncic and the rest of the Dallas Mavericks must feel about themselves at this point.
After the trade, Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic were both productive offensively, but on the defensive end of the court, they became a burden for the team, which ultimately led to the conclusion of their respective seasons.

Oklahoma City Thunder Has Gained Even More Strength as a Result of the Arrival of Chet Holmgren
The Oklahoma City Thunder may not be a huge rival at the moment, but holy cow, do they have a bright future in store for themselves. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had his best season ever in the 2022â2023 NBA season, when he was named to the All-Star team for the first time and averaged 31.4 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.8 rebounds.
The Canadian is best described as a walking bucket. In addition, players like Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, and Jalen Williams, who is still a youngster, contributed to the team.
Will Oklahoma City Thunder advance to the next round after the play-in game? There is still no clear answer.
In order for them to go into the postseason for real, they need to win both of their remaining games and defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves in the game that is ranked ninth and tenth.
Nonetheless, regardless of what takes place, the Oklahoma City Thunder are moving in the correct direction. OKC has gained even more strength as a result of the arrival of Chet Holmgren for the 2023â2024 NBA season and a few additional draft picks for this summer.
