It is interesting. SA is younger. Both have draft equity, but OKC has it out the kazoo.
The scary thing about OKC is their ability to find trade assets and later draft picks and be really productive and fill a need. This is the secret sauce.
SA is obviously well positioned and have made some good moves recently, but as someone said in the article they got lucky three times in the lottery. The Castle draft was a really good move. The other two Nico could have made. Some of their moves pre-Wemby and a little after were really questionable.
