The Oklahoma City Thunder are all in.

First of all, Sam Presti is a genius. He traded for both Paul George and Carmelo Anthony without giving up a single 1st-round pick. He is a near lock for the 2017-18 NBA Executive of the Year award.

The Thunder now have some serious firepower to compete with anyone in the league.

With the reigning MVP now flanked by a serial scorer of the rock and one of the best 2-way players the league has to offer, things look bright, at least for the next year in Oklahoma.

Who would have imagined that the Thunder would be in this place when Kevin Durant left them just a year ago.

Now for the summer to have a perfect ending, the Thunder are hoping Russell Westbrook signs the super-max extension on the table and fully commit his future to the only franchise he has ever played for.
