As we look ahead to the 2015-16 NBA season, it’s hard to avoid thinking about the imminent bloodbath that lies in wait at the top of the Western Conference.

The defending champion Golden State Warriors are bringing everybody but David Lee back. The immortal San Antonio Spurs added LaMarcus Aldridge and David West to their ranks. The Los Angeles Clippers kept DeAndre Jordan and added depth to address their biggest area of need. The Houston Rockets added Ty Lawson and the Memphis Grizzlies aren’t going anywhere either.

Still, it’s almost comical how quickly everyone forgot how dangerous a healthy Oklahoma City Thunder team can be.

With Kevin Durant missing 55 games and Russell Westbrook missing 15 last season, it’s a miracle the Thunder were even close to making the playoffs. If those two can just stay healthy and get their bodies 100 percent ready for the upcoming grind, that’ll easily be the best offseason addition the Thunder will enjoy next year.

But in the interest of being thorough, and with Durant’s free agency looming, it’s time to take a look at what OKC accomplished this summer as they head into a title-or-bust season. Here are offseason grades for every move they made this summer.
