Is the 2026 okc thunder the best built roster in nba history
To preface I don't mean this in a best team ever sort of way though I do think the thunder are up there. I mean to say that the thunder roster is perfect on paper.
The current thunder have everything a team could possible want.
They have an Mvp level 2 way lead guard.
They have a dpoy level bigman who also spaces the floor.
They have a tertiary do it all wing all star.
They also have a top3 6man in the sport.
Along with that they have 3 amazing 3 and d wings.
An additional 2 centers that can share the floor with their dpoy and either come with incredible rebounding and passing or floor spacing ability.
On top of that they have 2 knockdown shooters who can put the ball on the floor.
They can go tiny or huge. They can play 5 amazing defenders and still have good offense behind the most efficient guard ever not named steph curry. They can play 5 out or not.
Most importantly they have good culture and are young.
Sam Presti in my mind has to be the goat GM.
The only rosters I can think of comparably as good are the 24 celtics who lack some of the depth along with being old and the 17 warriors who more feel vuilt on luck with KD being able to sign, and the 01 lakers who had major culture issues.
