Thunder Have Most Insane Draft Pick Haul Ever After Paul George and Russell Westbrook Deals

Over the past decade, the Oklahoma City Thunder have seen several big name stars come and go, including Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Paul George, and Victor Oladipo. Yet, they still have one thing to show for all this calculated misfortune: draft picks.

Through the George and Westbrook trades, the Thunder have geared up for the future, acquiring the rights to eight first-round picks in addition to their own, along with some other draft day benefits. So many that Woj himself forgot about one!

While these trades have ultimately removed Oklahoma City from playoff contention in the star-studded Western Conference, this was the right move by the organization and something that should have been done a long time ago.

The Thunder should have blown up their roster the second that Kevin Durant left, but instead wasted several years being mediocre and accruing no assets to rebuild.

Now, the organization can move on from the superstar talents that got them nowhere, and look forward to the potential prospects they can nab with their newly-found wealth of draft selections.

Seriously. This is unprecedented. Well done, OKC.
