When The NBA Thought The OKC Thunder Overpaid Him

#NBA #OKCThunder #NBAhighlights #basketball The OKC Thunder have been continuing their domination of the NBA. Despite being down a lot of players, despite playing small ball most of the time without a real center in their lineup, the Thunder have been able to defeat teams like the Golden State Warriors. Oklahoma City is still led by their superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and rising star Jalen Williams, while generational big man Chet Holmgren is out for a couple months. One offseason move that's already seems to pay off for the Thunder has been the signing of 7 foot center Isaiah Hartenstein who has brought some added size and physicality to the Thunder roster. Hartenstein and Caruso have been OKCs priced offseason acquisitions and they are helping this Thunder core thrive. The Thunder are currently leading the NBA in net rating and defensive rating. This puts them at par with the defending champion Boston Celtics, the emerging Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets and Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors who seem to be contenders again. The NBA Cup is ongoing and the Thunder will be battling LeBron James and the Lakers. There is also the question if OKC can finally beat Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in a potential rematch on top of the Western Conference playoff bracket. Sam Presti has built a sustainable Oklahoma City Thunder core with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Lu Dort, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, Ousmane Dieng, Jaylin Williams, Ajay Mitchell, and now have added Isaiah Hartenstain and Alex Caruso to the mix. Can the Thunder actually emerge as NBA championship contenders by the end of the season? Lets evaluate how Isaiah Hartenstein has allowed the Thunder to play bigger without Chet Holmgren.
