2022-23 Draft Guide Team Preview: Oklahoma City Thunder
How’d We Get Here? The Thunder are challenging the Sam Hinkie-Sixers for the longest rebuild in NBA history.

2022-23 Draft Guide Team Preview: New Orleans Pelicans
How’d We Get Here? The season didn’t get off to a great start with the miscommunication that occurred with Zion Williamson’s injury during the preseason.

How’d We Get Here? Damian Lillard dealt with abdominal issues while CJ McCollum had a collapsed lung that kept him out for 18 games before we even hit January 1. That combined with their lack of offseason moves over the summer of 2021 helped force the team to look in the mirror and realize that […]
