The Oklahoma City Thunder methodically built a stacked roster and megacache of draft assets through the late 2010s and early 2020s. Thunder general manager Sam Presti has generated the modern blueprint for small-market teams to use in order to find high-level success.

The Thunder have won at least one playoff series since 2024, including the NBA championship in 2025. Thunder odds have been favored throughout 2026 and likely will be again for 2027.
