No, they are a younger less established version of the celtics if they add 1-2 more pieces. They have the potential to be better longer than the celtics as the celtics cant really build form here. But the Thunder lets for arguement say they Trade Giddey and 4 picks for Lauri giving them a lineup of Shai, Jdub, Dort, Lauri, Chet. They have Lauri and Shai on real steal contracts and Dort chet Jdub on rookie deals. So they can go out right now and sign 2-3 high priced players to fill out this roster. Trade the picks they have for future picks. So once its time to pay Jdub and Chet they have all their picks plus picks from other teams for years out to continue to add young talent to the roster of young Max players.

They beat warriors in the regular
