Thunder Contract Analysis: Oklahoma City Continues To Derive Tremendous Value

The Oklahoma City Thunder put together a roster that was the youngest in the entire NBA last season, but was still extremely competitive. The 15-man roster that performed in the postseason contained just six players that have been in the league for at least three seasons. Since there wasn’t a single player on this roster even 30 years old, these six guys were considered the veterans of the team. The other nine players in Oklahoma City were either rookies or sophomores, but were each impactful.

Roster building is extremely important in the NBA, as front offices have three primary methods of acquiring talent. From there, they must consider the price of each player and what they’re worth on the court in terms of production. The best franchises get the most out of each player to ensure they are performing at par or better than their contract.
