While the Thunder look to continue the momentum of the 2023 season, in which they won 57 games, the most since 2015, many will have their eyes on Isaiah Hartenstein, who Oklahoma City signed on the first day of NBA free agency back in July.

Oklahoma City’s future first-round picks might not hold the value it once hoped. On Friday, Shams Charania reported that Joel Embiid is signing a three-year, $193 million extension to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers.

While the NBA Draft has gotten the Oklahoma City Thunder to this point as a contender, that event will continue to be of extreme importance moving forward.

How often does he pair up with Chet Holmgren? Who's the power forward and center in that scenario? Will he truly stretch the floor? Those are some of the questions that have rattled inside people's minds during this offseason.
