OKC to Receive Four First-Round Picks in 2024
Thunder to Benefit from Recent Trades
The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to receive four first-round picks in the 2024 NBA Draft, a significant haul that will further bolster their rebuilding efforts. The picks were acquired in separate trades with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Denver Nuggets.
The Thunder will receive the Rockets' 2024 first-round pick, which is protected for selections 1-4. This pick is likely to be in the lottery, as the Rockets are projected to struggle in the upcoming season. The Thunder will also receive the Clippers' 2024 first-round pick, which is unprotected.
In addition to the two first-round picks in 2024, the Thunder also have the option to swap their 2027 first-round pick with the Nuggets' pick. The Nuggets' pick is protected for the top 5, so the Thunder could potentially receive a high draft pick in 2027.
The Thunder's acquisition of these four first-round picks gives them a strong foundation for the future. The team has a young core of players, including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, and Chet Holmgren. With these picks, the Thunder will have the opportunity to add more talent to their roster and compete for a playoff spot in the near future.
