OKC fan so idk, I might be immune to tanking allegations. But you guys are doing it right. It is unfortunate that you are being put in the spotlight because of Wemby, but the team is young and needs experience. And I wouldn’t call it unfortunate either, the guy is awesome. Keep on keeping on. Let the young guys play and figure it out. Don’t add veterans just for the sake of being in the middle; that’s purgatory. You guys might need to “explore the roster” and draft well, but it will be worth it. But what do I know 💀.
I do think a principle difference is that the Thunder have been absolutely killing it in the draft, whereas the Spurs have been merely respectable in that department: some hits, some misses, nothing resembling a home run.
