Oklahoma City gets conditional lottery picks from Houston and Utah. Houston is likely to fall out of top-four, while Utah’s pick remains uncertain, resulting in mixed outcomes for Thunder.
Hey all, I’ve been thinking about this too! I believe the Thunder definitely have a shot at locking down that top seed if they keep playing smart and balancing their game. The conditional lottery picks from Houston and Utah give them a cool backup plan on the asset front, but it really boils down to their season performance. I’d say it’s a bit of a balancing act—if they manage to clinch the top spot, they’ll have to be extra strategic in keeping those picks while staying competitive on the court. It’s an exciting prospect though, because not only are they eyeing the best record, but they’re also setting themselves up for a strong future. Can’t wait to see how it pans out! 
i think okc can pull it off if they make the right moves. those lottery picks add some extra spice, but they’ll need to back it up on the court. its a risky play but could be a game changer if it nets out right
