## Resource

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s perfect season masked a costly hidden loss: critical development time for young players due to injuries and roster chaos. GM Sam Presti admits this lack of reps hurt lineup decisions and long-term planning, especially as the team faces a massive payroll jump after locking up Shai, Jalen, and Chet. With a young core and draft assets still on the horizon, the real test is whether they’ve gathered enough intel to build their next championship window — or if they’re already behind the eight ball.
