Answering the five best questions submitted to this week’s mailbag.
of a potential dynasty. It will take the right moves along the way in the coming years, but there's no question that Thunder GM Sam Presti has the tools to make big things happen.
As we await things to heat up around the league in the offseason, it's important to maintain perspective in what might happen in the future. This OKC team is already good, but interestingly enough has a long way to go.Is the Mavericks series any different if Kenrich Williams plays more of Josh Giddey's minutes?
To be completely honest, it was less about the Thunder's personnel in that series and more about the Mavericks' players. The role players in that Round 2 series for Dallas stepped up and knocked down shots that they didn't collectively for most of the season -- but that's the playoffs. It sounds odd to say, but that series was more about Dallas than OKC in terms of lineup adjustments.
Who are a few realistic players you think OKC could add in the offseason via trade or free agency? Will Sam Presti do more than just sign new contracts with Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe? For starters, I do think securing Wiggins and Joe on new deals is at the top of the priority list for Sam Presti. I feel pretty good about Wiggins being back on a new contract next season, but Joe is more of a mystery than the average fan would like to think. Shooters get paid, and I'm not sure the Thunder is willing to pay him upwards of $20 million as others have gotten in recent years. When it comes to realistic free agents, the list is almost non-existent.
