The thunder have been a top team in the west this year but the one mock on them, the one reason people are saying they can not make a championship push is because they have veteran leadership. Due to the trade that happens this morning between the heat and hornets it has been made clear the hornets are looking for a third team to ship lowery of to and the thunder might be the perfect team. Lowery is a great leader with stacks of playoff experience and even a champion in 2019. The thunder won’t be starting him or even giving him serious minutes however he will provide needed leadership and allow them to help contend this year. They also manage to keep all of there first rounders in this trade whilst giving the hornets what they want, picks.
