Oklahoma City Thunder's perfect move in 2025 NBA offseason



The Oklahoma City Thunder will have a target on their back next season following their impressive title run, capturing the franchise's first Larry O'Brien trophy since 1979, when they were still the Seattle Supersonics.

ESPN recently deemed him one of the top sophomore candidates to watch next season.
