The Oklahoma City Thunder still have an open roster spot with no signs of filling it, which could be a smart idea given the team doesn't have a weakness yet.
It is nearly impossible to be perfect in anything in life, especially when you have to navigate an 82-game season just to reach the pressurized postseason. Every year there are massive surprises in both a positive and negative direction.
Already owning a top-five offense and defense, the Thunder have fixed their biggest weakness from a season ago which was their front court depth placing Hartenstein in the rotation. Along with that, putting a defensive ace who can slide 1-4 and shoot 40 percent from beyond the arc in Giddey's place makes life easier on Oklahoma City's stars.
It is hard to find a hole on the 2024-25 roster heading into the season whereas last season's flaws were evident from the jump despite their regular season success. So, keeping a roster spot in hand can work in the long run for Sam Presti, as he routinely did during the Russell Westbrook era.
