After Paul George handed in a surprise trade request earlier this summer, the Oklahoma City Thunder decided to grant PG13's wish and enter full-scale rebuild mode. Russell Westbrook and Jerami Grant quickly followed George out of Oklahoma City, although Sam Presti managed to haul a record-breaking number of draft picks from his firesale.
The general manager is currently focused on offloading his remaining high earners such as Steven Adams, Chris Paul, and Dennis Schroder, although the Thunder have plenty of young talent to build around such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
