    OKC Thunder Preseason Preview | WHAT IFS for Thunder Regular Season

    Oklahoma City Thunder fans face disappointment as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren sit out the preseason opener in Tulsa, but does the absence of stars open new opportunities for bench players? Questions swirl about whether this preseason preview signals shifting strategies or simply rest management before a high-stakes regular season. The conversation focused on Thunder what-ifs that could define their season: Can Shai thrive as an off-ball threat to unleash a more dynamic offense? Will Cason Wallace elevate his playmaking and three-point shooting to give OKC unprecedented depth? The discussion explored the legacy of Russell Westbrook versus Gilgeous-Alexander as Oklahoma City fan favorites and how Mark Daigneault’s rotations and developing talent may shape another championship run. With Thunder’s title-or-bust expectations, each preseason decision gains extra weight—are fans witnessing the start of a new era or more of the same? Rylan Stiles Dives into it all.        Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IndeedListeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at http://Indeed.com/podcast.  BetterhelpThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Sign up and get 10% off at https://BetterHelp.com/LOCKEDONNBA.  PrizePicksVisit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONNBA and use code LOCKEDONNBA and get $150 if you win your first $5 lineup!  GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
