Being honest with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s situation at Oklahoma City Thunder is not that great as the young guard with one of the best offensive end in the league is stuck amid rebuilding. There were rumours for him getting traded away or demanding one but in reality, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wants to stay home and stick with process rather than jumping to places.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are below the very mark of even making it to the play-in tournament but just a matter of some wins and the team will then be called a playoff lock as young guns are ready and can hold it on at every end of the court. Oklahoma City Thunder can land any veteran they want to in their squad and maybe that results into a turnaround of the situation since the only play where it gets wrong is experience and decision making.
