In a historic season, the Oklahoma City Thunder have claimed their first NBA championship since relocating from Seattle, finishing the regular season with a remarkable 68-14 record. The Thunder triumphed in a thrilling Game 7 against the Indiana Pacers, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander earning MVP honors for his stellar play throughout the finals.

Shifting focus to the offseason, the Thunder have made strategic moves, including the addition of rookie Thomas Sorber and Brooks Barnhizer from the NBA draft. In a surprising trade, they exchanged Dillon Jones, a first-round pick from 2024, along with a second-round pick to the Washington Wizards for Colby Jones, who is expected to be waived. The decision to part ways with Dillon Jones after just one season hints at the organization's desire to create roster flexibility for potential free agent signings or further rookie acquisitions.

With a solid core under contract, Thunder GM Sam Presti is now tasked with addressing upcoming contract extensions for emerging talents like Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. As the offseason unfolds, Oklahoma City is well-positioned to build on their championship success.
