The Thunder may have had my favorite offseason, given their previous ascension. Oklahoma City pulled off one of the league's biggest trades by adding Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey, who wilted into a depreciated asset within this context, without forgiving any of their 1,398,890 first-round picks.
Caruso's a very good 3-point shooter and arguably the league's top guard defenders. Adding him with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams creates a formidable defensive lineup.
Hartenstein is one of the league's best offensive rebounders who was impactful to the Knicks' success. While he may not fit into their 5-out offense, he's an excellent short-roll playmaker and has shown defensive improvement.
Sam Presti crushed this off-season. The Thunder added Nikola Topic, a top-5 prospect who will miss this year with a torn ACL, and productive college players Dillon Jones and Ajay Mitchell.
