After a successful summer where the Oklahoma City Thunder were able to do everything they wanted to do, here are three takeaways from their 2018 offseason.
The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to have a productive offseason.
First came the 2018 NBA Draft, where they selected three second round picks in Hamidou Diallo, Devon Hall and Kevin Hervey.
All three players can be a help to the Thunder down the road. Diallo has the athleticism they are looking for, Hall has the two-way ability with his 3-point shooting ability and defense, and Hervey is the lanky, star-caliber forward that they like.
In free agency, the OKC Thunder were able to re-sign Paul George, re-sign Jerami Grant, trade Carmelo Anthony and get something in return for him.
The Thunder had a record-high luxury tax. They were able to lower it from $150 million to $87 million after the Carmelo transaction. Here’s a look at three takeaways from their successful summer.
