Biggest Hole: No ‘Mo Kevin Durant

The Oklahoma City Thunder could not have had a worse offseason. Many forget, but not only did the Thunder lose Kevin Durant but they also lost Serge Ibaka, who was traded to the Orlando Magic in exchange for Victor Oladipo.

I suppose that good news is that Russell Westbrook will continue to be around for a few more seasons. The attention now shifts to the team’s ability to build around Westbrook.

Sam Presti has always been great at building teams around Durant. The hope is that he can do the same around Westbrook.
