If OKC didn't crush the offseason it would have been very disappointing for them.   With cap space, a bunch of picks, a bunch of teams in cap space hell... + a 2/3 year window before they get the financial burden under the new rules, this was the summer they had to get something done.

If they had to overpay $ wise on a short contract, or overpay with a first it should not stop them based on who they targeted.     Whether it was an elite 4th starter, or elite supporting pieces, they had to do something significant... this was their windown.

They did what they had to do in getting Caruso + Hartenstein.    And they should continue being aggressive the rest of this summer and the next 2 years, using those picks as currency to full whatever holes they have.

And moving forward they still have a bunch of picks + "Fittable" contracts in bigger deals if they go that way (Wiggins, Joe, Dort even Hartenstein), or to flip underperforming contracts by adding picks.   They will be able to make moves to continually improve over the next 2 years which is a bit scary for other teams.
